And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,.....And from Jesus Christ, ....first begotten of the dead, ... Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood... And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1st Angel's Message & the Judgment pt. II

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth,
and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
saying with a loud voice,
Fear [Respect] God, and give glory to Him;
for the hour of His judgment is come;
(He is your Redeemer)
and worship Him that made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
(He is your Creator)
Rev.14:6,7

II.
The Timing of the Message.

*In Prophecy there are symbols. 
A Prophetic Day would be a Symbol for a Year in Prophecy. 
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; (2300 Years)
---then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Seventy weeks (490 Years) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Know therefore and understand, 
that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times....And after threescore and two weeks (483 Years) shall Messiah be cut off,....And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week (3 & a half Years out of 7 Years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.....Daniel 8:14 /9:24-27

“Seventy weeks, representing 490 years, are declared by the angel to be cut off, as specially pertaining to the Jews.
Q: But from what were they cut off?
A: As the 2300 days was the only period of time mentioned in chapter 8, it must be the period from which the seventy weeks were cut off; the seventy weeks must therefore be a part of the 2300 days, and the two periods must begin together.

--The seventy weeks were declared by the angel to date from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem.
--If the date of this commandment could be found, then the starting point for the great period of the 2300 days would be ascertained.... 

In 457 B.C., a decree was granted to Ezra by the Persian emperor Artaxerxes Longimanus to go up to Jerusalem with as many of his people as were minded to go with him. 
This granted him an unlimited amount of treasure, to beautify the house of God, to procure offerings for its service, and to whatever else might seem good to him. It empowered him to ordain laws, set magistrates and judges, and execute punishment even unto death; in other words, to restore the Jewish state, civil, and ecclesiastical, according to the law of God and the ancient customs of that people. 
Inspiration has seen fit to preserve this decree; and a full an accurate copy of it is given in Ezra 7
This decree is recorded not in Hebrew, like the rest of the book of Ezra, but in the official Chaldaic, or Eastern Aramaic
Thus we are referred to the original document by virtue of which Ezra was authorized to restore and build Jerusalem. ....close of the 2300 days in the autumn of 1844, stands without impeachment."
