"Days of Perplexity But the time of expectation passed. This was the first close test brought to bear upon those who believed and hoped that Jesus would come in the clouds of heaven. The disappointment of God's waiting people was great. The scoffers were triumphant, and won the weak and cowardly to their ranks. Some who had appeared to possess true faith seemed to have been influenced only by fear; and now their courage returned with the passing of the time, and they boldly united with the scoffers, declaring that they had never been duped to really believe the doctrine of Miller, who was a mad fanatic. Others, naturally yielding or vacillating, quietly deserted the cause. LS 57"
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
The EGW passage describes scoffers after the Millerite disappointment. 2 Peter 3:3-4 explicitly mentions scoffers who question the promise of Christ's return. This is a clear thematic parallel.
"And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
EGW directly references and interprets Daniel 8:14 in the context of the 2300-day prophecy.
"Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,"
EGW explicitly mentions Ezra 7 as the source for the decree of the king of Persia, which is crucial for calculating the prophetic time period.
"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;"
The EGW passage describes the disappointment and subsequent actions of those who doubted the Second Coming after the Millerite movement. Matthew 24:48 speaks of the evil servant who believes his lord delays his coming. The connection is thematic, dealing with the delay of the Second Coming and the reactions of believers.
