"man will be restored to his lost kingship, and the lower order of beings will again recognize his sway; the fierce will become gentle, and the timid trustful. Ed 304.1"

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
Both passages describe a restoration where the natural order is transformed, with formerly dangerous animals becoming peaceful. EGW's statement about the 'fierce becoming gentle' directly echoes the sentiment of Isaiah 11:6.
"There will be open to the student, history of infinite scope and of wealth inexpressible. Here, from the vantage ground of God's word, the student is afforded a view of the vast field of history and may gain some knowledge of the principles that govern the course of human events. But his vision is still clouded, and his knowledge incomplete. Not until he stands in the light of eternity will he see all things clearly. Ed 304.2"

"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."

"Then will be opened before him the course of the great conflict that had its birth before time began, and that ends only when time shall cease. The history of the inception of sin; of fatal falsehood in its crooked working; of truth that, swerving not from its own straight lines, has met and conquered error—all will be made manifest. The veil that interposes between the visible and the invisible world will be drawn aside, and wonderful things will be revealed. Ed 304.3"

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,"
Both passages refer to the great conflict between good and evil, though the EGW passage expands on the scope and details of that conflict, including its origin and ultimate resolution. Revelation 12:7 describes the war in heaven, which is the inception of the conflict.
"Not until the providences of God are seen in the light of eternity shall we understand what we owe to the care and interposition of His angels. Celestial beings have taken an active part in the affairs of men. They have appeared in garments that shone as the lightning; they have come as men, in the garb of wayfarers. They have accepted the hospitalities of human homes; they have acted as guides to benighted travelers. They have thwarted the spoiler's purpose and turned aside the stroke of the destroyer. Ed 304.4"
Likely biblical basis 95% Hebrews 1:14
"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"

"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia."
