"suddenly became powerless and withered, and could not be withdrawn. PK 102.1"
"And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Beth–el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him."
The EGW passage directly references and describes the event of Jeroboam's hand withering, as described in 1 Kings 13:4.
"Terror-stricken, the king appealed to the prophet to intercede with God in his behalf. “Entreat now the face of the Lord thy God,” he pleaded, “and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.” Verses 4, 6 . PK 102.2"
"And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before."
EGW directly quotes and references 1 Kings 13:6, describing the king's plea and the subsequent healing.
"Vain had been Jeroboam's effort to invest with solemnity the dedication of a strange altar, respect for which would have led to disrespect for the worship of Jehovah in the temple at Jerusalem. By the message of the prophet, the king of Israel should have been led to repent and to renounce his wicked purposes, which were turning the people away from the true worship of God. But he hardened his heart and determined to follow a way of his own choosing. PK 102.3"
"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward."
Both passages describe a turning away from God and a hardening of the heart, choosing one's own way instead of heeding divine guidance. While not a direct quote, the thematic similarity is strong.
"At the time of the feast at Bethel the hearts of the Israelites were not fully hardened. Many were susceptible to the influence of the Holy Spirit. The Lord designed that those who were taking rapid steps in apostasy should be checked in their course before it should be too late. He sent His messenger to interrupt the idolatrous proceedings and to reveal to king and people what the outworking of this apostasy would be. The rending of the altar was a sign of God's displeasure at the abomination that was being wrought in Israel. PK 102.4"
"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."
Both passages address resistance to the Holy Spirit and a stubborn refusal to heed God's warnings. The EGW passage speaks of the Israelites' hearts not being fully hardened and the Lord's attempt to check their apostasy, while Acts 7:51 accuses the listeners of always resisting the Holy Ghost, as their fathers did.
