"“The Lord is a great God, And a great King above all gods.... O come, let us worship and bow down: Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” Psalm 95:3-6 . PK 48.1"
"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 95:6.
"For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 95:3.
"For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 95:3-6 in this passage.
"Both in public and in private worship it is our privilege to bow on our knees before God when we offer our petitions to Him. Jesus, our example, “kneeled down, and prayed.” Luke 22:41 . Of His disciples it is recorded that they, too, “kneeled down, and prayed.” Acts 9:40 . Paul declared, “I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 3:14 . In confessing before God the sins of Israel, Ezra knelt. See Ezra 9:5 . Daniel “kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God.” Daniel 6:10 . PK 48.2"
"And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,"
EGW uses Luke 22:41 as an example to support the principle of kneeling in prayer.
"But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up."
EGW uses Acts 9:40 as an example to support the principle of kneeling in prayer.
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
EGW uses Ephesians 3:14 as an example to support the principle of kneeling in prayer.
"And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God,"
Ellen White directly references Ezra 9:5 in this passage.
"Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime."
Ellen White directly references Daniel 6:10 in this passage.
"True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence. With this sense of the Unseen, every heart should be deeply impressed. The hour and place of prayer are sacred, because God is there. And as reverence is manifested in attitude and demeanor, the feeling that inspires it will be deepened. “Holy and reverend is His name,” the psalmist declares. Psalm 111:9 . Angels, when they speak that name, veil their faces. With what reverence, then, should we, who are fallen and sinful, take it upon our lips! PK 48.3"
"He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 111:9.
"Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly."
The EGW passage speaks of reverence for God and mentions angels veiling their faces. While it cites Psalm 111:9, the description of angels veiling their faces strongly echoes Isaiah 6:2. The connection is more than just thematic; it's a specific image being evoked.
