"The service was held on the lawn in front of Mrs. White's quiet country home, which had long been to her a haven of rest,—a veritable “refuge,” as she often styled it when returning from public labors. At one end of the lawn had been erected a canopy for the officiating ministers; while chairs and benches conveniently placed beneath the wide-spreading elms, with sofas and rockers for the aged and the infirm, gave seats for all who came. LS 450.2"
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
The EGW passage explicitly uses the word "refuge" in connection with her home, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 46:1. While not a direct quote, the connection is clear and intentional, making it more than just a general thematic parallel.
"have gone forth into these countries to carry the truth for this time.... O God, hasten the proclamation of this message to all the inhabitants of earth, that this generation may hear it and heed it, and the way he prepared for the coming of our blessed Saviour.” LS 450.3"
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
Both passages deal with the proclamation of a message to all the world before the end comes. The EGW passage specifically mentions hastening the proclamation of the message so that the current generation may hear it, which aligns with the urgency in Matthew 24:14.
