"Look up, look up, and let your faith continually increase. Let this faith guide you along the narrow path that leads through the gates of the city into the great beyond, the wide, unbounded future of glory that is for the redeemed. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” James 5:7, 8 . PK 732.1"
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
EGW's reference to the 'narrow path' clearly alludes to the concept found in Matthew 7:14, even though she doesn't directly quote it. The context of striving towards a goal reinforces the connection.
"The nations of the saved will know no other law than the law of heaven. All will be a happy, united family, clothed with the garments of praise and thanksgiving. Over the scene the morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy, while God and Christ will unite in proclaiming. “There shall be no more sin, neither shall there be any more death.” PK 732.2"
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
EGW's statement, "There shall be no more sin, neither shall there be any more death," directly echoes the sentiment and promise found in Revelation 21:4, even though it's not a direct quote. The context of a redeemed and perfect world further strengthens the connection.
"When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
The EGW passage directly echoes the imagery of the morning stars singing and the sons of God shouting for joy, clearly alluding to Job 38:7.
