"Moses saw the chosen people established in Canaan, each of the tribes in its own possession. He had a view of their history after the settlement of the Promised Land; the long, sad story of their apostasy and its punishment was spread out before him. He saw them, because of their sins, dispersed among the heathen, the glory departed from Israel, her beautiful city in ruins, and her people captives in strange lands. He saw them restored to the land of their fathers, and at last brought under the dominion of Rome. PP 475.1"
"And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,"
The EGW passage describes Moses seeing the future of Israel in the Promised Land, which directly relates to the event described in Deuteronomy 34:1 where God shows Moses the land. While Deuteronomy 34:1 is just the beginning of the description, it sets the stage for the vision that EGW elaborates on.
"And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day."
The EGW passage describes Moses seeing the future apostasy and dispersion of Israel, which aligns with the warning in Deuteronomy 29:28 about being rooted out of the land and cast into another land as punishment for disobedience. The connection is a thematic parallel between the vision of future events and the prophetic warnings in Deuteronomy.
He was permitted to look down the stream of time and behold the first advent of our Saviour. He saw Jesus as a babe in Bethlehem. He heard the voices of the angelic host break forth in the glad song of praise to God and peace on earth. He beheld in the heavens the star guiding the Wise Men of the East to Jesus, and a great light flooded his mind as he called those prophetic words, “There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel.” Numbers 24:17 . He beheld Christ's humble life in Nazareth, His ministry of love and sympathy and healing, His rejection by a proud, unbelieving nation. Amazed he listened to their boastful exaltation of the law of God, while they despised and rejected Him by whom the law was given. He saw Jesus upon Olivet as with weeping He bade farewell to the city of His love. As Moses beheld the final rejection of that people so highly blessed of Heaven—that people for whom he had toiled and prayed and sacrificed, for whom he had been willing…
"I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth."
EGW directly quotes Numbers 24:17 and connects it to the star seen by the Wise Men, interpreting it as a prophecy of Christ's coming.
"Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 23:38 in this passage.
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
Both passages describe the angelic host praising God at Jesus' birth. EGW's passage amplifies the biblical account by adding details about Moses' vision.
"Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
Both passages refer to the star that guided the Wise Men to Jesus. EGW's passage expands on the biblical narrative by placing it within Moses' vision.
He followed the Saviour to Gethsemane, and beheld the agony in the garden, the betrayal, the mockery and scourging—the crucifixion. Moses saw that as he had lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of God must be lifted up, that whosoever would believe on Him “should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:15 . Grief, indignation, and horror filled the heart of Moses as he viewed the hypocrisy and satanic hatred manifested by the Jewish nation against their Redeemer, the mighty Angel who had gone before their fathers. He heard Christ's agonizing cry, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Mark 15:34 . He saw Him lying in Joseph's new tomb. The darkness of hopeless despair seemed to enshroud the world. But he looked again, and beheld Him coming forth a conqueror, and ascending to heaven escorted by adoring angels and leading a multitude of captives. He saw the shining gates open to receive Him, and the host of heaven with songs of triumph welcoming their Commander. A…
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
EGW directly quotes John 3:14-15, referencing the lifting up of the serpent in the wilderness as a type of Christ's crucifixion, and connects it to Moses' vision.
"That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
Ellen White directly references John 3:15 in this passage.
"And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Ellen White directly references Mark 15:34 in this passage.
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"
Ellen White directly references 2 Corinthians 4:17 in this passage.
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
EGW directly quotes Jesus' cry from the cross, as recorded in Mark 15:34, and places it within the context of Moses' vision of Christ's crucifixion.
