What does EGW write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Does Ellen White write that the grace period for Adventists ends with the enactment of the Sunday law?"
Answer
Based on the available documents, Ellen White does not explicitly write that the grace period for Adventists ends directly with the enactment of a Sunday law. However, she explains that the grace period will not close until the investigative judgment is completed and the cases of all people who profess Christ have been decided. The Seventh-day Adventist Church will be measured by the light and privileges that have been entrusted to it.
The End of the Grace Period and the Investigative Judgment
When the work of investigation has been finished, when the cases of those who in all ages have been known to be followers of Christ have been examined and decided, then, and only then, will the grace period end and the door of mercy be closed.
The Responsibility of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
In the scales of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist Church shall be weighed. It will be judged according to the privileges and advantages it has had. If its spiritual experience does not correspond to the benefits that Christ has given it at infinite cost... the judgment will be pronounced over it: "Found too easy.
Earlier Misinterpretations of the Closed Door

All of this reinforced their belief that the grace period had ended, or, as they expressed at the time, "the door of mercy was closed.
Sunday Laws and the Coming Crisis
As the writing of this volume was drawing to a close, a crisis threatened in the United States in the form of a proposed national Sunday law. In this context, Mrs. White was presented with the views concerning the impending conflict... that the church must endure when apostate Protestantism unites with Catholicism.
