"Page 59. Purgatory.—Dr. Joseph Faa Di Bruno thus defines purgatory: “Purgatory is a state of suffering after this life, in which those souls are for a time detained, who depart this life after their deadly sins have been remitted as to the stain and guilt, and as to the everlasting pain that was due to them; but who have on account of those sins still some debt of temporal punishment to pay; as also those souls which leave this world guilty only of venial sins.”— Catholic Belief (1884 ed.; Imprimatur Archbishop of New York), page 196. GC 683.5"
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
The EGW passage discusses the Catholic doctrine of purgatory, a state of suffering after death. The Bible verse states that after death comes judgment. While they describe different things that happen after death, they both address what happens after death, and are often used in arguments against each other. This makes them thematically related.
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
The EGW passage defines purgatory as a state of suffering after death, while Revelation 14:13 speaks of the blessed dead resting from their labors. The passages are thematically linked by their discussion of the state of the dead, and are in opposition to each other.
