"No one knows the day and the hour!" - This was the cry of those who opposed the advent message before 1844. William Miller was initially reluctant to set forth an exact date (day) for the second coming of Christ. However, others who were involved in proclaiming the message eventually did so, although they were not necessarily among the movement's leaders. It was already in the summer of 1844 when Samuel Snow's view on the definite time when the prophetic periods would end was gaining ground among the Advent believers. According to him, at the Second Coming, Christ will fulfill the types of autumn feasts, just as He fulfilled the spring feasts of Leviticus 23 with His First Coming. Because the autumn feasts were all in the seventh month of the biblical calendar, the movement that preached this message was known as "The Seventh Month Movement."
In line with the desire to present not a re-told story of the midnight cry message of 1844, but the message itself as was originally preached, the aim in preparing this book was to re-publish the actual words of those who proclaimed it at that time. This first volume is focused on the light of this message as it was reflected by "The Advent Herald, and Signs of the Times Reporter", one of the main Adventist periodicals of that time. Until their full endorsement in October, the editors allowed Samuel Snow to publish some of his views on the prophetic periods. Essentially, his midnight cry represented a refinement of Miller's understanding of this subject, also giving special attention to the typologies, particularly those of the Old Testament yearly festivals. The ones of the seventh month were considered worthy of consideration by J.V. Himes and his co-editors even before accepting the message, but they were reluctant to accept that the Day of Atonement of that year (1844) would mark the end of the prophetic periods, leading to the Judgement hour.
