"in a time when, on every hand, truth was being perverted and the great majority of the people were in open rebellion against Heaven. PK 255.1"
Related principle 80% 2 Timothy 3:1-5
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
EGW's description of truth being perverted and rebellion against Heaven echoes the general themes of moral decay and apostasy described in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
"And God never forsook His chosen messenger. On one occasion, during a Syrian invasion, the king of Syria sought to destroy Elisha because of his activity in apprising the king of Israel of the plans of the enemy. The Syrian king had taken counsel with his servants, saying, “In such and such a place shall be my camp.” This plan was revealed by the Lord to Elisha, who “sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. PK 255.2"
Direct citation 98% 2 Kings 6:12
"And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber."
EGW is directly referencing and quoting from 2 Kings 6, although not verse 12 specifically, but the surrounding narrative. The context is the same, and the events described are directly related.
