"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Both passages discuss the deceptive power of false prophets and their ability to perform signs and wonders. EGW's statement that these works will 'far exceed the works of Christ' amplifies the warning in Matthew 24:24 about the potential for deception.
