I had the same issue after I wiped the drive on my MacBook Pro. When you wiped the drive you selected the wrong format. All you need to do is simply go to disk utilities and erase the drive again, but this time select APFS (Encrypted) rather than just APFS. You may now click Reinstall macOS High Sierra. Side note, make sure you have internet connection in your status bar.
Thanks a lot, its work now
I've downloaded several laptops with different OS versions all in a blazing speed, in fact it's been the faster downloads of any update i've ever had across all of them. I smell scapegoat.
That worked!! I changed the memory simms- guess computer reset. Many thanks!
This fixed it for me.
Thank you so much .. Was able to get my Mac OS reinstalled :)
That did it for me. Thanks
I would like to do this. My MACBOOK Pro is useless since the HS update. Can you walk me through nukeing the system and installing Sierra? I am unable to install from utilities for some reason.
I tried this fix but in my terminal it said: permission denied (operation not permitted). Any chance you know what the issue is?
Thank you! Worked perfectly for me!
Thanks Jo.
Thanks APPLE

I tried this, but I'm still getting that same error message. Any other suggestions?
You gotta enter the current date. It worked for me. Try that. If still error exists, try contacting Apple!
Are you inputting the UTC time? Google the it and use that time.
Thanks you! With that terminal command installing go on. Its strange, idk why now 8:35AM in Moscow, but terminal set 5... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
