"Miracles also were called into requisition. Among other wonders it was reported that as a husbandman who was about to plow his field on Sunday cleaned his plow with an iron, the iron stuck fast in his hand, and for two years he carried it about with him, “to his exceeding great pain and shame.”—Francis West, Historical and Practical Discourse on the Lord's Day, page 174. GC 575.1"
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
Both passages refer to the use of miracles (or purported miracles) to support religious claims. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 speaks of 'lying wonders' used by Satan, while the EGW passage describes fabricated miracles used to promote Sunday observance. The connection lies in the use of supernatural claims to bolster religious authority.
"Later the pope gave directions that the parish priest should admonish the violators of Sunday and wish them to go to church and say their prayers, lest they bring some great calamity on themselves and neighbors. An ecclesiastical council brought forward the argument, since so widely employed, even by Protestants, that because persons had been struck by lightning while laboring on Sunday, it must be the Sabbath. “It is apparent,” said the prelates, “how high the displeasure of God was upon their neglect of this day.” An appeal was then made that priests and ministers, kings and princes, and all faithful people “use their utmost endeavors and care that the day be restored to its honor, and, for the credit of Christianity, more devoutly observed for the time to come.”—Thomas Morer, Discourse in Six Dialogues on the Name, Notion, and Observation of the Lord's Day, page 271. GC 575.2"
"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Both passages address the issue of substituting human traditions and commandments for the true worship of God. The EGW passage describes the Catholic Church's (and later, some Protestants') use of arguments and traditions to enforce Sunday observance, while Matthew 15:9 condemns those who teach the commandments of men as doctrines.
"The decrees of councils proving insufficient, the secular authorities were besought to issue an edict that would strike terror to the hearts of the people and force them to refrain from labor on the Sunday. At a synod held in Rome, all previous decisions were reaffirmed with greater force and solemnity. They were also incorporated into the ecclesiastical law and enforced by the civil authorities throughout nearly all Christendom. (See Heylyn, History of the Sabbath, pt. 2, ch. 5, sec. 7.) GC 575.3"
"And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
Both passages describe the use of secular power to enforce religious decrees. Daniel 3:6 describes the penalty for not worshipping the golden image, and the EGW passage describes how secular authorities were used to enforce Sunday observance, creating a similar atmosphere of coercion.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
The EGW passage describes the use of secular authority to enforce religious observance (Sunday). Revelation 13:16-17 speaks of a future power that will enforce a mark, preventing those without it from buying or selling. While not a direct parallel, the underlying theme of enforced religious compliance through secular power connects the two passages.
