"All hearts thrilled with the proud hope that Israel was soon to be honored before the nations as the chosen of the Lord, and Jerusalem exalted as the head of a universal kingdom. MB 5.2"
"When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"
Both passages deal with the expectation of a restored kingdom of Israel. EGW's statement reflects the same sentiment and misunderstanding present in the disciples' question in Acts.
