"So the throne of glory represents the kingdom of glory; and this kingdom is referred to in the Saviour's words: “When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations.” Matthew 25:31, 32 . This kingdom is yet future. It is not to be set up until the second advent of Christ. GC 347.1"
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"
EGW directly quotes Matthew 25:31 to support her point about the future kingdom of glory.
"And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:"
EGW directly quotes Matthew 25:32 to support her point about the future kingdom of glory.
"redemption of the guilty race. It then existed in the purpose and by the promise of God; and through faith, men could become its subjects. Yet it was not actually established until the death of Christ. Even after entering upon His earthly mission, the Saviour, wearied with the stubbornness and ingratitude of men, might have drawn back from the sacrifice of Calvary. In Gethsemane the cup of woe trembled in His hand. He might even then have wiped the blood-sweat from His brow and have left the guilty race to perish in their iniquity. Had He done this, there could have been no redemption for fallen men. But when the Saviour yielded up His life, and with His expiring breath cried out, “It is finished,” then the fulfillment of the plan of redemption was assured. The promise of salvation made to the sinful pair in Eden was ratified. The kingdom of grace, which had before existed by the promise of God, was then established. GC 347.2"
"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
The EGW passage directly references the scene in Gethsemane, including the detail of the 'blood-sweat,' which is explicitly described in Luke 22:44. This is a clear and direct allusion.
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."
Both passages discuss the death of Christ as a sacrifice for humanity. Hebrews 2:9 highlights Jesus tasting death for every man, while the EGW passage elaborates on the potential for Jesus to have withdrawn from this sacrifice and the assurance of redemption through His death.
