"“These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.... They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters.” Revelation 7:14-17 . Ed 303.1"
"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Ellen White directly references Revelation 7:14-17 in this passage.
"“Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:” now we know in part; but then shall we know even as also we are known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 . Ed 303.2"
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
Ellen White directly references 1 Corinthians 13:12 in this passage.
"“They shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.” Revelation 22:4 . Ed 303.3"
"And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."
Ellen White directly references Revelation 22:4 in this passage.
"There, when the veil that darkens our vision shall be removed, and our eyes shall behold that world of beauty of which we now catch glimpses through the microscope; when we look on the glories of the heavens, now scanned afar through the telescope; when, the blight of sin removed, the whole earth shall appear in “the beauty of the Lord our God,” what a field will be open to our study! There the student of science may read the records of creation and discern no reminders of the law of evil. He may listen to the music of nature's voices and detect no note of wailing or undertone of sorrow. In all created things he may trace one handwriting—in the vast universe behold “God's name writ large,” and not in earth or sea or sky one sign of ill remaining. Ed 303.4"
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
The EGW passage and 1 Corinthians 13:12 both speak to a future time when our understanding will be clearer and more complete. The EGW passage elaborates on what that clearer understanding might entail, specifically in the realm of science and nature, but the core idea of a future unveiling is present in both.
"There the Eden life will be lived, the life in garden and field. “They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.” Isaiah 65:21, 22 . Ed 303.5"
"And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them."
The EGW passage directly quotes Isaiah 65:21, making it a clear and undeniable explicit allusion.
