"When error in one garb has been detected, Satan only masks it in a different disguise, and multitudes receive it as eagerly as at the first. When the people found Romanism to be a deception, and he could not through this agency lead them to transgression of God's law, he urged them to regard all religion as a cheat, and the Bible as a fable; and, casting aside the divine statutes, they gave themselves up to unbridled iniquity. GC 285.1"
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
The EGW passage describes Satan's strategy of disguising error, which directly parallels 2 Corinthians 11:14, where Satan transforms himself into an angel of light. Both passages highlight Satan's deceptive nature and his ability to present evil in an appealing form.
"The fatal error which wrought such woe for the inhabitants of France was the ignoring of this one great truth: that true freedom lies within the proscriptions of the law of God. “O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.” “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.” “But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Isaiah 48:18, 22 ; Proverbs 1:33 . GC 285.2"
"But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."
Ellen White directly references Proverbs 1:33 in this passage.
"Atheists, infidels, and apostates oppose and denounce God's law; but the results of their influence prove that the well-being of man is bound up with his obedience of the divine statutes. Those who will not read the lesson from the book of God are bidden to read it in the history of nations. GC 285.3"
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."
The EGW passage states that the well-being of man is bound up with obedience to God's law, and that the history of nations demonstrates this. This directly reflects the principle in Proverbs 14:34, which states that righteousness exalts a nation, while sin is a reproach.
