"“Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, And he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; Yea, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. PK 696.1"

EGW quotes Isaiah 55:1 directly.
"“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, And let your soul delight itself in fatness. PK 696.2"
"Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness."
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 55:2. The connection is undeniable.
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 55:1-3 in this passage.
"To Israel the promise was made: “Behold, I have given Him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He hath glorified thee.” Verses 4, 5 . PK 696.4"
"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."
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 49:6 (though referencing verses 4,5 which are also relevant) and applies it to Israel, which is consistent with the biblical context. The connection is explicit and meaningful.
"“I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.” Isaiah 46:13 . PK 696.5"
"I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."

"In word and in deed the Messiah, during His earthly ministry, was to reveal to mankind the glory of God the Father. Every act of His life, every word spoken, every miracle wrought, was to make known to fallen humanity the infinite love of God. PK 696.6"
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
EGW's statement that the Messiah revealed the glory of God the Father is directly supported by John 14:9, where Jesus says that whoever has seen Him has seen the Father. This is a clear and direct principle.
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
EGW's statement about the Messiah revealing God's glory through His actions and words strongly echoes John 1:14, which describes Jesus as the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth, and revealing the Father's glory.
"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
EGW's description of the Messiah revealing the glory of God the Father aligns with Hebrews 1:3, which describes Jesus as the brightness of God's glory and the express image of His person. The connection is thematic and meaningful.
