"After I came out of vision, I related with trembling, yet with faithfulness, what I had seen. The woman calmly said: “I am glad the Lord knows my heart. He knows that I love Him. If my heart could only be opened that you might see it, you would see that it is pure and clean.” LS 130.1"
"But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
The woman's statement about her heart being pure and clean directly contrasts with the idea that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances, as stated in 1 Samuel 16:7. This is a clear thematic parallel.
"The minds of some were unsettled. They did not know whether to believe what the Lord had shown me, or to let appearance weigh against the testimony I had borne. LS 130.2"
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
The EGW passage describes a situation where people are unsure whether to believe a testimony or rely on appearances. This aligns with the principle of testing or proving all things, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:21.
"Not long after this, terrible fear seized the woman. A horror rested upon her, and she began to confess. She even went from house to house among her unbelieving neighbors, and confessed that the man she had been living with for years was not her husband, that she ran away from England, and left a kind husband and one child. Many other wicked acts she confessed. Her repentance seemed to be genuine, and in some cases she restored what she had taken wrongfully. LS 130.3"
"Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:"
The EGW passage describes actions (confession, restitution) that are 'fruits meet for repentance,' illustrating the principle in Matthew 3:8.
"For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."
The EGW passage describes a woman's hidden sins being revealed and confessed. This aligns with the theme of Luke 8:17, which states that nothing is secret that will not be made manifest. The confession is the 'coming abroad' of the hidden things.
