So declares the IRGC in a song in a video that MEMRI posted on their Twitter webpage. Zerohedge also caught MEMRI’s post.
Confirmation That the Time is Close
Zerohedge says this video seems to be a tribute to the slain Qassem Soleimani.
However, knowing the Signposts, this video is more than that. It is also a propaganda piece apparently meant to whip up fervor within the IRGC and Basij to get ready for the Second Signpost, the invasion and occupation of the Middle East.
Zerohedge found the missile strike of the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. as the most disturbing part of this film. As disturbing as that visual is, with the Signposts in mind I find something even more disturbing.
At 00:58, the lyrics say, “The good tidings of Jerusalem’s liberation comes from Iran.” Since the move to invade and occupy is secret, they have been saying for years that they would fight their way to Jerusalem.
This all precedes the lyrics at 01:02 which say, “The path and the land are ready, let us go.”
That line can only mean one thing: a call for IRGC troops to carry out the Second Signpost. The path west is ready (as are the paths north and south).
Confirmation That the Two-Horned Ram Prophecy is Being Fulfilled
As amazing as that is, there is further confirmation of the Iranian’s government’s dual power, which are the two horns of the ram seen in Daniel 8:3.
Zerohedge reports the video aired on Iranian state television “on the occasion of a major Sunday speech by the supreme leader Ali Khamenei on the ‘heroism’ of Iran’s revolutionary guard.”
This confirms the supreme leader’s support and respect of the IRGC.
And in the video, at 00:46 the video pictures the supreme leader while the lyrics declare, “The Leader . . .”
The IRGC, supporting Iranian state television, still declares the supreme leader their “Leader.”
There have been many confirmations over the years of the two power bases sharing power, but here we see confirmation yet again associated with this video.
This agrees with my research written of in Daniel Revisited chapter 10 which shows the supreme leader and the IRGC as a perfect fulfillment of the two-horned ram of Daniel 8:3-4. The horns represent power, and are the “kings of the Medes and Persians.”
The supreme leader needs the IRGC for protection and support, and the IRGC needs the supreme leader for a cause, for an ideology.
As to timing of the Second Signpost, the Bible is silent. We are to watch. And if the current signs are any indication, we must be very near.
Categories: In The News, Signpost #2: Iran
THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
Mark it does seem to be shaping up as your book says, not many people seem to be aware of what’s going on, except they Israelis of course,
With Biden in charge, this might be why not much response from Americans.
On 2021-05-07, Tasnim News Agency, controlled by the IRGC, posted “Downward Movement of Zionist Regime Started: Ayatollah Khamenei.” The IRGC was so pleased by Khamenei’s remarks, that after quoting portions they really liked, they presented the entire text. https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2021/05/07/2498522/downward-movement-of-zionist-regime-started-ayatollah-khamenei Khamenei pleaded for all Islamic countries and factions to assist in driving out the Zionist intruders.
Psalm 83:4-8 NASB
They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation,
So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
For they have conspired together with one mind;
They make a covenant against You:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot.
Some Christians have argued that Psalm 83 was an expression, not a prophecy. But Jesus said, “All the things that are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled” (Luke 24:44 NASB), and Psalm 83 is a writing about Christ.
Psalm 83:16-18 NASB
Fill their faces with dishonor,
So that they will seek Your name, LORD.
May they be ashamed and dismayed forever,
And may they be humiliated and perish,
So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the LORD,
Are the Most High over all the earth.
Daniel 8:4 indicates that western, northern, and southern invasions by Iran will be successful. But Psalm 83 indicates that attacks against Israel must eventually suffer humiliating defeat. Will a doomed invasion of Israel by Iran’s proxies be used as a distraction as the IRGC successfully invades the rest of the Middle East?
Prisms,
Yes, I believe so, that Iran’s proxies will keep Israel busy during the Second Signpost, as I’ve written about here.
The Iranian regime would love to be able to do this all the time, even if they’re not the ones who carried out this particular attack.
Cyber attack shuts down U.S. fuel pipeline ‘jugular,’ Biden briefed

Psalm 83:1-8 accurately describes what is now the situation, Israel surrounded by Iran’s proxy militants gearing up to try to permanently end the State of Israel. Is there an ellipsis between the plots mentioned in verses 1-8 and the punishment prayed for in verses 9-18? Punishment for mere plots or for unmentioned actions? I am looking at Isaiah 22 and Joel 2, both of which indicate that Israel will be actually invaded. I think that Isaiah 22:1-2 was fulfilled by the 2021-04-30 “Meron crush.” Internal divisions in Israel’s government suggest that if Israel is to survive an invasion, bad elements in its government must first be removed (Isaiah 22:3).
“The Iranian parliament in a statement on Tuesday condemned Israel’s recent crimes against the Palestinians in the al-Aqsa Mosque and Gaza, and vowed that the holy Quds [Jerusalem] will be liberated by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force.” https://www.farsnews.ir/en/news/14000221000789/Iranian-Parliamen-Qds-Be-Freed-by-IRGC-Qds-Frce The Qods Force has set up and armed proxies to invade Israel. Supreme Leader Khamenei is calling for Palestinians to use force against the State of Israel. https://english.khamenei.ir/news/8487/Imam-Khamenei-Only-with-the-language-of-strength-can-one-talk Iran-backed Yemen forces skilled in drone use want to be involved in any Palestinian actions against Israel. https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2021/05/11/652445/Yemen-Houthi-Ansarullah-Abdul-Malik-Badreddin-al-Houthi-Palestine-resistance-axis
It looks like the Psalm 83 War (which might precipitate the Iranian invasion) is edging closer with the disturbances in Israel and its surrounding neighbours.
Possibly Jordan with its 2 million refugees and severe Covid problems is the key.
Prince Hamzah was recently given house arrest. I watched a report from him just after his arrest. It seems to indicate that the ground could be set for popular unrest in Jordan against the Government. Could this be the catalyst for the Government to deflect their domestic problems by confronting Israel in order to focus the popular anger on them instead?

The war implied but not described in Psalm 83 is underway. I do not trust America’s media to present the truth about it. Iranically [pun intended], the Iranian news site PressTV, though obviously biased against Israel, is reporting in English and showing in videos and live coverage what is actually happening.
https://www.presstv.com/
Two Israeli news sites in English that seem reliable to me are:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/
God is allowing English-speaking Christians to be able to watch via the internet the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. In return for this privilege, we should “revere Christ as Lord” and “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have … with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15 NIV).
Read this earlier today……..and wondering on current events.

Those who understand what the second signpost is are being ushered into front row seats and handed programs for the live event. Some will remember an ad showing Secretary-General of Hezbollah Nasrallah threatening Israel: https://www.islamicinvitationturkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/6-Sayyed55.mp4 Some will remember billboards. One depicted IRGC troops with Israel flags fused into the soles of their boots. “One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.”
Another showed one of the leading characters, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Baqeri, sporting his red IRGC patches.
Exactly how the show will be conducted and end, we don’t know. I am anticipating a cathartic experience, because the director of it is God.
Gary,
Just another form of warfare, whether it be from Iran or China.
Israel’s Mossad is the second-largest espionage agency in the Western world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossad Although the director of the Mossad reports directly to the elected Prime Minister of Israel, it is also a deep state that can go rogue. If the present Israeli-Palestinian conflict unites Psalm 83 adversaries against Israel, bad actors in the Mossad might flee to places far from Israel.
Zephaniah 3:11-13 NASB
On that day you will feel no shame
Because of all your deeds
By which you have rebelled against Me;
For then I will remove from your midst
Your proud, arrogant ones,
And you will never again be haughty
On My holy mountain.
But I will leave among you
A humble and lowly people,
And they will take refuge in the name of the LORD.
The remnant of Israel will do no wrong
And tell no lies,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will feed and lie down
With no one to frighten them.
Isaiah 22:3 NASB
All your rulers have fled together,
And have been captured without the bow;
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
Though they had fled far away.

I think that Isaiah 22:1-2 was fulfilled by this:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-marks-day-of-mourning-for-45-victims-of-meron-stampede/
A similar tragedy just happened:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/2-killed-over-130-hurt-as-synagogue-bleacher-collapses-near-jerusalem/
The first of these non-military tragedies in Israel happened just prior to the current war with Hamas in Gaza. The second happened during it.
Understanding what is prophesied in the remainder of Isaiah 22, which is partly historical, is not easy. Isaiah 22 may be related to Psalm 83 and the second signpost. Verses 4-5 may indicate that militarily disturbing events are coming to Jerusalem and Israel. Here is my best guess on the meaning of verses 6-7.
Isaiah 22:6-7 NASB
Elam picked up the quiver,
With the chariots, infantry, and horsemen;
And Kir uncovered the shield.
Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots,
And the horsemen took positions at the gate.
“Elam” = Iran.
“the quiver, with the chariots, infantry, and horsemen” = offensive weaponry.
“Kir” = Jordan.
“the shield” = defensive equipment.
“your choicest valleys” = Kidron, Central, Hinnom.
“the gate” = probably either Damascus Gate or Jaffa Gate in the Old City area of Jerusalem.
The prophesied forces in the valleys and at the gate may be Israeli. The scene of action for Isaiah 22:8-14 was and is south of the Temple Mount, which is actually the remains of the Roman fort Antonia, whose neatly stacked stone walls escaped the fate of the Temple complex to its south, where not one stone was left standing upon another. In 2018, an actual seal of the prophet Isaiah was found south of Antonia only 10 feet from where an actual seal of King Hezekiah was found in 2015.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-find-of-biblical-proportions-proof-of-prophet-isaiah-believed-unearthed/
In 1967, when Israel gained control over East Jerusalem, including the Old City, Jordan was allowed to remain in control over the Temple Mount. Jordan does not allow archaeological digs on the Temple Mount. Since the Temple complex was thoroughly demolished by the Roman legion stationed at Antonia, the only place that seals of Hezekiah and Isaiah could have been found was where they were found, between where Antonia was later built by Romans and where the Temple complex was.
The red line surrounds the area in which Isaiah and Hezekiah seals were found.
If the true site of the Temple above Gihon Spring were acknowledged by scholars, war with Islam might be avoided. But conflicts are necessary in God’s plans, to test us. Ignorance can be used by God in the fulfillment of His purposes.
Mark, I read this earlier. There is so much more that hit me about the end times when I read it.
Just read the following, definitely see the bitcoin leading to the mark.

Difficulty in making sense out of millenniums-old Bible prophecies can be eased by the signpost perspective, which reveals four time periods that some end-time prophecies may be in sync with. Only a few Bible passages relate to the first signpost; it had little effect on the world at large. The second signpost will have, according to its core passages, major impact on the world, so a greater number of passages come into play. Portions of Isaiah 21 concerning Arabia and Isaiah 22 concerning Jerusalem, both mentioning Elam, may be in sync with the second signpost. I am looking at Isaiah 23 concerning Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon, which may be taken over by Iranian forces. By comparing Isaiah 23:13-17 with Jeremiah 27:1-11 and Ezekiel 26:7-12, we know that Isaiah 23:13-17 was long ago fulfilled, except for verse 17, which still has application to the reign of Antichrist (Revelation 17).
Tyre was both an island and a mainland city. Nebuchadnezzar conquered the mainland portion. Alexander the Great later conquered the island portion. What was an island is now part of the mainland.
https://i1.wp.com/www.heraldofhope.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/30-MAP-OF-TYRE.jpg?ssl=1
Tyre and Sidon were the home ports of Phoenician sea merchants. Every place named in Isaiah 23 is either in or bordering the Mediterranean Sea. We may see new fulfillments of verse 5, “When word comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre” (NIV), and verses 11-12 (NASB):
He has stretched His hand out over the sea,
He has made the kingdoms tremble;
The LORD has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.
He has said, You shall not be jubilant anymore, you crushed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.
Tarshish, on the southern coast of Spain, is mentioned in Isaiah 23:1,6,10,14. There is growing tension between Spain and Morocco over migration into a Spanish enclave in Morocco, from which goes unwanted migration into Spain. “News of the arrival of thousands of irregular migrants in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in Northern Morocco has brought to the fore the growing Madrid-Rabat rift.”

https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2021/05/342501/ghali-ceuta-spain-and-morocco-navigate-fraught-but-essential-partnership
There is growing tension between Morocco and neighboring Algeria. On 2020-12-22, Morocco and Israel officially normalized relations, which infuriated Iran and Algeria. “Algeria is one of the few countries that, despite being a majority Sunni Muslim Arab country, has been friendly towards mostly Shia Iran.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria%E2%80%93Iran_relations There could be second signpost aspects to Isaiah 23:1-12, even though Elam is not mentioned.
During this lull between the 11 day Gaza-Israel conflict of 2021 and whatever is coming next, one of Israel’s great archaeologists has died. She was involved in digs that found bulla seals of King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet.

“One of the many things I learned from my grandfather was how to relate to the biblical text: Pore over it again and again, for it contains within it descriptions of genuine historical reality. It is not a simple matter to differentiate the layers of textual sources that have been piled one atop the other over generations; we don’t always have the tools to do it. But it is clear that concealed within the biblical text are grains of detailed historical truth.”
Recent Christian prophecies indicate that major biblical discoveries are coming soon [my comments in brackets].
2008-06-21 Kim Clement
The Spirit of God said, There will be ancient parchments, there will be scrolls that will be discovered, and this will bring more truths that will once again [like the Dead Sea Scrolls] bring about evidence of the existence of certain things that have been ruled out in the Bible and the Scriptures. It will substantiate so many things, and once again there will be a severe blow to the antagonists of My church and My Holy Word, says the Lord. The Spirit of God said, Those who say they are atheists, those who say there is no God, three times [after the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered] I will again prove through the ancient scrolls and that which will be discovered, that that which they have disputed shall be in fact the truth, says the Spirit of the Living God.

I will exhume it from the earth to bring my sons and daughters in Israel, those chosen to know Yeshua as their Lord and Savior, to bring those that thought the Bible was a collection of stories, to bring them to see the accuracy and the precision and the divine power that went in to writing such a book that has stood the test of time. You know why My children, says the Lord? Because it is living, it is active, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line.
2020-12-19 Amanda Grace
… the land that was given a name to be a compass to the rest of the world and a hub of biblical discoveries. And says the spirit of the Lord this day, There are major biblical discoveries coming out of the ground in 2021, in Israel and the surrounding areas.

Israel shall pull [via rappelling?] something from near the waters that were lost but now is found. They [Israel Antiquities Authority teams?] are close to even greater, as I the Lord am opening up the earth in this hour and revealing the amazing, the resource [the Bible?], the elements [books of the Bible?], and even the underground experiments [early Christian history?], says the Lord.
Revelation 6:3-4 NASB
When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that people would kill one another; and a large sword was given to him.
Although we don’t know when the Iranian Red Horse will be released, an impounded Iranian oil tanker named “MT Horse” was released on 2021-05-28: “The MT Horse, belonging to the National Iranian Tanker Company that had been detained in Indonesian waters since January 24, was released on Friday,” the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) news agency reported. https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2021/05/29/657743/Iranian-flagged-oil-tanker-seized-in-January-by-Indonesia-is-released

In the video the cylindrical objects depict the cannons used to breach the walls of Constantinople. Unrelated to the conquest is the Ark of the Covenant. That may have been thrown that in as a swipe at Israel for perceived aggression against Palestinians during the recent Gaza-Israel conflict. Many Muslims believe that the Mahdi will retrieve the Ark from the Sea of Galilee in Israel.
