"“Later, when I visited this property, I recognized it as one of the places I had seen nearly two years before in vision. How thankful I am to the Lord our God for this place, which is all prepared for us to use to the honor and glory of His name!” The Review and Herald, June 21, 1906 . LS 405.3"
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
EGW's statement that the property is to be used 'to the honor and glory of His name' directly reflects the principle in 1 Corinthians 10:31 to do everything to the glory of God.
"message. We are to have clear spiritual discernment, else we shall fail of discerning the opening providences of God that are preparing the way for us to enlighten the world. LS 405.5"
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
EGW's emphasis on 'clear spiritual discernment' directly aligns with the concept in 1 Corinthians 2:14 that spiritual things are 'spiritually discerned.' Both passages highlight the necessity of spiritual perception to understand divine matters.
"And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"
Both passages emphasize the importance of discerning or recognizing signs, whether it's the signs of the times (Matthew) or the 'opening providences of God' (EGW). Both highlight a failure to recognize these signs.
