Ellen White’s contribution

Ellen White’s January 31, 1849, broadside titled To Those Who Are Receiving the Seal of the Living God and her March 24, 1849, vision of the open door in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary placed renewed emphasis on the importance of outreach and the availability of grace to sinners while Jesus remained in the Second Apartment of the heavenly sanctuary. ^{34EGW, To Those Who Are Receiving the Seal of the Living God, broadside, January 31, 1849.} This illustrates an important point. Ellen White’s visions did not originate the doctrines of the sanctuary and the Sabbath, or their integration as an end-time message. These truths came from a careful study of Scripture. However, the visions did enrich Adventist understanding and applied it practically to personal experience and the mission of the movement.UEGW 173.3
