"the lesson of pardon of sin, and power through the Saviour for obedience unto life. Ed 36.1"
"Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
The EGW passage directly echoes the concept of forgiveness of sins and power through the Saviour, which is explicitly stated in Acts 5:31. The verse also mentions repentance, which is closely linked to pardon of sin.
"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."
Romans 6:22 speaks of being freed from sin and having everlasting life, which aligns with EGW's statement about pardon of sin and obedience unto life. The connection is thematic, focusing on the result of salvation.
"Through Christ was to be fulfilled the purpose of which the tabernacle was a symbol—that glorious building, its walls of glistening gold reflecting in rainbow hues the curtains inwrought with cherubim, the fragrance of ever-burning incense pervading all, the priests robed in spotless white, and in the deep mystery of the inner place, above the mercy seat, between the figures of the bowed, worshiping angels, the glory of the Holiest. In all, God desired His people to read His purpose for the human soul. It was the same purpose long afterward set forth by the apostle Paul, speaking by the Holy Spirit: Ed 36.2"
"It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
Both passages discuss the significance of the tabernacle and its symbolism. Hebrews 9:23 refers to the purification of the patterns of heavenly things, which connects to EGW's description of the tabernacle as a symbol of God's purpose for the human soul.
"And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them."
Exodus 25:8 is the direct command to build the sanctuary, which is the central topic of the EGW passage. The EGW passage elaborates on the purpose and symbolism of the sanctuary mentioned in Exodus.
"Great was the privilege and honor granted Israel in the preparation of the sanctuary; and great was also the responsibility. A structure of surpassing splendor, demanding for its construction the most costly material and the highest artistic skill, was to be erected in the wilderness, by a people just escaped from slavery. It seemed a stupendous task. But He who had given the plan of the building stood pledged to co-operate with the builders. Ed 36.4"
"And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them."
This is a direct reference to the building of the sanctuary as commanded in Exodus 25:8. The EGW passage expands on the privilege, honor, and responsibility associated with building the sanctuary, directly referencing the event described in Exodus.
"“The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.... And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee.” Exodus 31:1-6 . Ed 36.5"
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;"
Ellen White directly references Exodus 31:1-6 in this passage.
