"The prophet heard the voice of God calling His church to her appointed work, that the way might be prepared for the ushering in of His everlasting kingdom. The message was unmistakably plain: PK 375.1"
"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 discuss the proclamation of God's message/kingdom to prepare for the end times. The EGW passage speaks of preparing the way for His everlasting kingdom, while Matthew 24:14 speaks of preaching the gospel of the kingdom before the end comes. The connection is thematic and related to eschatology.

"Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side."
EGW quotes Isaiah 60:4 directly.
"“And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, And their kings shall minister unto thee: For in My wrath I smote thee, But in My favor have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; They shall not be shut day nor night; That men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, And that their kings may be brought.” PK 375.5"
"Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought."

"“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: For I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 60:1-4, 10, 11 ; 45:22 . PK 375.6"
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 60:1-4 in this passage.
"These prophecies of a great spiritual awakening in a time of gross darkness are today meeting fulfillment in the advancing lines of mission stations that are reaching out into the benighted regions of earth. The groups of missionaries in heathen lands have been likened by the prophet to ensigns set up for the guidance of those who are looking for the light of truth. PK 375.7"
"And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."
Both passages discuss an 'ensign' or signal for the people, particularly in relation to the Gentiles seeking guidance. EGW connects this to missionary work.
"And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."
Both passages speak of bringing light to the Gentiles. EGW connects this to missionary work in 'benighted regions'.
