The Arrival Of The First Angels Message in 1798

A Great religious awakening under the proclamation of Christ's soon coming is foretold in the prophecy
of the first angel's message of Revelation 14. An angel is seen flying 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. With a loud voice he proclaims the message: Fear God, and give glory to Him;
for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of waters. Verses 6, 7. GC 355.1

The message itself sheds light as to the time when this movement is to take place. It is declared
to be a part of the everlasting gospel; and it announces the opening of the judgment. The
message of salvation has been preached in all ages; but this message is a part of the gospel which
could be proclaimed only in the last days, for only then would it be true that the hour of
judgment had come. The prophecies present a succession of events leading down to the opening
of the judgment. This is especially true of the book of Daniel. But that part of his prophecy
which related to the last days, Daniel was bidden to close up and seal to the time of the end.
Not till we reach this time could a message concerning the judgment be proclaimed, based on the
fulfillment of these prophecies. But at the time of the end, says the prophet, many shall run to
and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:4. GC 355.3

Daniel stood in his lot to bear his testimony which was sealed until the time of the end, when the
first angel's message should be proclaimed to our world. These matters are of infinite importance
in these last days; but while many shall be purified, and made white, and tried, the wicked
shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand. How true this is! Sin is the
transgression of the law of God; and those who will not accept the light in regard to the law of
God will not understand the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel's messages. The
book of Daniel is unsealed in the revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of
this earth's history. TM 115.3

As the above quotes mentions the prophecies present a succession of events leading down to the
opening of the judgment. To the this the question undoubtedly must be asked what prophecies?
The answer is also provided in the quote this is especially true of the book of Daniel . But that
part of his prophecy which related to the last days. Daniel 12:4 is the quote pointing us to the
time of the end and also listing for us many running to and fro and an increase of knowledge.
What does it mean to run to and fro? ( a Hebrew expression for observing and thinking upon the
time) Dr Joseph Wolf.
What are the prophecies which highlight the time of the end ?

Daniel 11:40
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall
come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and
he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Daniel 12:9
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
The apostle Paul warned the church not to look for the coming of Christ in his day. That day
shall not come, he says, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed. 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Not till after the great apostasy, and the long period of the reign
of the man of sin, can we look for the advent of our Lord. The man of sin, which is also
styled the mystery of iniquity, the son of perdition, and that wicked, represents the papacy,
which, as foretold in prophecy, was to maintain its supremacy for 1260 years. This period ended
in 1798. The coming of Christ could not take place before that time. Paul covers with his caution
the whole of the Christian dispensation down to the year 1798. It is this side of that time that the
message of Christ's second coming is to be proclaimed. GC 356.1

Interesting Daniel 12:6

And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall
it be to the end of these wonders? Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up
his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be
for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the
holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Even though it doesn't say the time of the end it says the end of these wonders, in response verse
7 is given which highlights two desolating powers as does Daniel 8:13
These two Powers's are Paganism which did the work of scattering Gods host while Papal Rome
was given 1260 years.
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How
long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give
both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

But Daniel 12:7 gives us a time for a time, times, and an half which also leads us to chapter 7
of the said book Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most
High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and
times and the dividing of time.

These passages of scripture points us to a definite prophetic period of twelve hundred and sixty
years beginning with the establishment of Papal supremacy 538 AD-1798 AD, the time of the
end according to Daniel 11:40 is marked by the push of the King of the South (Atheistic France)
Revelation describes it as a beast coming up out of the bottomless pit, while Ellen White
describes it as a new manifestation of satanic power against the King of the North, the Papacy
Revelation 13:3 calls this act a deadly wound which shows that civil authority would be taken
from the papacy, this act then opens the way for the Everlasting Gospel of Revelation 14:6-7 to
be given, a call to repentance and reform warning of the judgment which is come.
Hopefully clear evidence has been given to prove the Arrival of the first angels message of
Revelation 14:6-7 arrived at the time of the end when restrictions would be placed on the papacy
in order for this warning to be given to the world.
