"The power of God that wrought with His servant was felt by those who heard. Some gave heed to the warning, and renounced their sins; but the multitudes mocked at the solemn message, and went on more boldly in their evil ways. The servants of God are to bear a similar message to the world in the last days, and it will also be received with unbelief and mockery. The antediluvian world rejected the warning words of him who walked with God. So will the last generation make light of the warnings of the Lord's messengers. PP 86.3"
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,"
Both passages discuss scoffers and unbelief in the last days, connecting the rejection of Noah's message to the rejection of messages in the end times.
"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
EGW draws a parallel between the rejection of Noah's message and the expected rejection of messages in the last days, aligning with the sentiment expressed in Matthew 24:37 about the days of Noah being similar to the coming of the Son of Man.
"In the midst of a life of active labor, Enoch steadfastly maintained his communion with God. The greater and more pressing his labors, the more constant and earnest were his prayers. He continued to exclude himself, at certain periods, from all society. After remaining for a time among the people, laboring to benefit them by instruction and example, he would withdraw, to spend a season in solitude, hungering and thirsting for that divine knowledge which God alone can impart. Communing thus with God, Enoch came more and more to reflect the divine image. His face was radiant with a holy light, even the light that shineth in the face of Jesus. As he came forth from these divine communings, even the ungodly beheld with awe the impress of heaven upon his countenance. PP 86.4"
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Both passages discuss the transformation that occurs through beholding God's glory and being changed into His image. The EGW passage describes Enoch reflecting the divine image through communion with God, echoing the concept in 2 Corinthians 3:18.
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
Both passages emphasize the importance of private prayer and communion with God. While Matthew 6:6 is a general instruction, the EGW passage illustrates this principle in Enoch's life.
"When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek."
Both passages highlight the importance of seeking God's face and presence. The EGW passage describes Enoch's practice of withdrawing to seek divine knowledge, aligning with the sentiment in Psalm 27:8.
