What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Compare the following Bible passages: Isaiah 60:1–3 with Revelation 18:1–4 and Isaiah 62:1–5 with Revelation 19:7–8. What similarities exist between the messages in the two books?"
Answer
The provided documents fundamentally confirm that there are strong parallels and "echoes" between the prophetic statements of Isaiah and Revelation. Froom explicitly speaks of "constant echoes and frequent quotations" and "striking parallels" between the two books. Litch quotes Professor Bush, who lists detailed parallel passages between Isaiah’s prophecies and the New Jerusalem in John.
However, the documents do not contain a direct, systematic comparison of the specifically requested passages (Isaiah 60:1–3 with Revelation 18:1–4 and Isaiah 62:1–5 with Revelation 19:7–8). The quotations only show individual applications of these texts, without directly juxtaposing the parallel elements.
Parallels between Isaiah and Revelation
»In this book of Revelation there are constant repetitions and frequent quotations of word or thought from the earlier prophet. There are even striking parallels. Note some of the similar expressions:«
Isaiah’s Prophecies and the New Jerusalem
»We claim that the blessed state announced in the above prophecies of Isaiah [...] that this state is identical with the New Jerusalem of John. The proof of this can only be made clear through a tabular presentation of the parallel passages in the two prophets, which we now present to the reader.«
Light and Glory – Isaiah 60
»“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you!” Isaiah 60:1. Christ comes with power and great glory. He comes with his own glory and with the glory of the Father.«
The Message of the Third Angel – Revelation 18
»As predicted in the eighteenth chapter of Revelation, the message of the third angel is to be proclaimed with great power by those who issue the final warning against the beast and its image: “I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was illuminated by his brilliance.”«
The Final Warning Message
»Our servants should urge the congregation members to let the truth prevail. “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you!” … Should not our congregations awaken and give the world the final warning message?«
