I was thinking of the Vincent Tan story and $2.34 in change.  Maybe this has been said before.  But might the angel have been saying that change is coming to America (or the world) after 234 years of America which is 2010 and on the 234th day of the year 2010 which would be August 22, 2010.  Might something big happen August 21, 2010 that causes the change?
 
OR could it be 234 years and 234 days from and including July 4, 2010 which would take you to Feb 22, 2010.  Might something happen on Feb 21, 2010 that causes change?
 
That would be very interesting if that is what the angel meant.
234 is interesting because it is 13x18 (depravity + bondage)
