"By some secret hand—whether of indiscreet friend or wily foe was never known—one of the placards was attached to the door of the king's private chamber. The monarch was filled with horror. In this paper, superstitions that had received the veneration of ages were attacked with an unsparing hand. And the unexampled boldness of obtruding these plain and startling utterances into the royal presence aroused the wrath of the king. In his amazement he stood for a little time trembling and speechless. Then his rage found utterance in the terrible words: “Let all be seized without distinction who are suspected of Lutheresy. I will exterminate them all.— Ibid., b. 4, ch. 10. The die was cast. The king had determined to throw himself fully on the side of Rome. GC 225.1"
"Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him."
Both passages involve a leader being turned against someone due to the actions of others. In Daniel, the presidents and princes sought to find fault with Daniel, while in the EGW passage, the king's anger is aroused by the placard, leading him to persecute those suspected of heresy.
Measures were at once taken for the arrest of every Lutheran in Paris. A poor artisan, an adherent of the reformed faith, who had been accustomed to summon the believers to their secret assemblies, was seized and, with the threat of instant death at the stake, was commanded to conduct the papal emissary to the home of every Protestant in the city. He shrank in horror from the base proposal, but at last fear of the flames prevailed, and he consented to become the betrayer of his brethren. Preceded by the host, and surrounded by a train of priests, incense bearers, monks, and soldiers, Morin, the royal detective, with the traitor, slowly and silently passed through the streets of the city. The demonstration was ostensibly in honor of the “holy sacrament,” an act of expiation for the insult put upon the mass by the protesters. But beneath this pageant a deadly purpose was concealed. On arriving opposite the house of a Lutheran, the betrayer made a sign, but no word was uttered. The proces…
"And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver."
Both passages involve betrayal for a reward or to avoid punishment. Matthew 26:15 describes Judas betraying Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, while the EGW passage describes a Protestant artisan betraying his brethren to avoid being burned at the stake. The core theme of betrayal is present in both.
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
The EGW passage illustrates the principle of fearing physical death over spiritual compromise, as the artisan chooses to betray his brethren rather than face the flames. This directly relates to Jesus' teaching in Matthew 10:28 to fear God, who can destroy both body and soul, rather than those who can only kill the body.
