Sometimes, it seems some things that are anticipated take their sweet time to arrive.
The Second Signpost, the invasion by Iran of the Middle East, is to be the next event in Bible prophecy according to the Signpost theory of interpretation. Though the Iranian regime, with the IRGC, has shown every sign of getting ready over the last several years, that regime—the kings of the Medes and Persians—won’t charge out until they are ready.
During the Trump administration, with the onerous sanctions placed on the regime and choking off incoming money, and the intimidation given them of a US president not afraid to use America’s forces, the Second Signpost’s coming was slowed.
Not to worry though, for the Biden administration has rescued the regime and set their agenda back on track.
First, the US election earlier this month has shown that there is a rising pushback against the—I’ll call it insane—policies of the Left with their Marxist agenda manifesting as CRT and so forth. Vaccine mandates, the border disaster, and making America energy dependent are all adding to the fuel for the pushback.
Therefore, if China is to help Iran by occupying America’s forces, they may do it before a red tide hits—which could be 2022 or 2024.
Second, Biden has graciously given a lifeline of money to the regime, just as Obama did. No, it’s not a pallet of cash but it’s just as good.
Biden is not enforcing the sanctions against the regime, and so China has become the number one buyer of Iranian oil buying half a million barrels per day. At a price of $60 per barrel, that comes to almost one billion dollars per month.
The regime’s cash reserves, which are the life blood of their preparations for the Second Signpost, grew from $4 billion at the end of 2020, to $31 billion now.
So take heart, the Biden administration is doing everything it can to speed up the Second Signpost. It looks like it’s doing a great job.
Speeding up and slowing down of prophesied and anticipated events was written of by Habakkuk, the Old Testament prophet:
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.” (Habakkuk 2:3 NASB)

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
Mark, How does a Fiat US Dollar collapse effect this? Are you able to follow your leads to see what the IRGC is doing with their money, how it is stored? Are the Chinese paying the IRGC in US Dollars? They don’t technically “have” to now that Russia made a military agreement to come to Saudi Arabia’s aid and hence the Saudi’s don’t need to uphold the petrodollar agreement and we have nothing proping up our over printed currency. Is the IRGC storing the value of their sold commodity in dollars or are the storing it in gold, silver, crypto, ect?
I learned about the signpost perspective while still working long hours at a job. When I retired, I had time to study that perspective in depth. It is biblically sound. So much is happening in the lead-up to the second signpost that I can’t keep up with it all. Here is a list of Iran news in English websites that I have found to be most revealing.

Jesse,
A US dollar collapse doesn’t affect this oil trade of Iran’s because China uses yuan or gold to pay for the oil. That’s how they are all skirting the sanctions.
Of course the Second Signpost will greatly affect the collapse of the US dollar.

Last year the IRGC claimed that their speedboats could attain 85 knots (98 mph). According to Tasnim News Agency, Major General Hossein Salami, commander of the IRGC, announced on November 14 that some of their speedboats can now get close to 100 knots (115 mph). This means that from Iran’s portion of the port of Latakia Syria which Iran began leasing in 2019, IRGC speedboats could have IRGC commandos splashing onto a shore near Rizokarpasa Cyprus in about 42 minutes.
Cyprus holds a special place in Islamic naval history. “The Muslim force landed on Cypress in 649 C.E. There was only a small Byzantine garrison on the island which was overpowered without any difficulty. The islanders submitted to the Muslims, and agreed to pay a tribute of 7,000 dinars per year. The conquest of Cypress was the first naval conquest of the Muslims.”

Soleimani was probably aware of this when he helped persuade Syrian President Assad to allow Iran to lease part of the port of Latakia.
Alma Research and Educational Center “is an education and research center dedicated to researching the security challenges on Israel’s northern borders.” On November 14 Alma published an article warning: “Iran aims to create a foothold in strategic places such as border crossings and major airports, enabling it to create a continuous and secure land and air corridor from Iran to Syria and from there to Lebanon (Hezbollah).”
https://israel-alma.org/2021/11/14/damascus-the-airport-road-iranian-land-seizure-and-procurement/
On November 15, World Israel News published an article expanding on Alma’s statement and added: “In September, an Iranian general boasted of Iran’s military might through its proxies, claiming that Iran has ‘six armies outside its borders that work for it.'”

On September 27, Al Arabiya had revealed which Iranian general (Gholam Ali Rashid) made that statement and named the publication in which it appeared (Mehr News Agency).
https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2021/09/27/We-have-established-six-armies-outside-our-borders-Iranian-military-commander
On September 25, Major General Gholam Ali Rashid was reported in English as saying: “Three months before his martyrdom, Martyr Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani said in a meeting with commanders of Armed Forces at Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters that he has organized six army cadets outside territories of Iran and created a canal [actually a land corridor] as long as 1,500 km with 1,000 km width to the Mediterranean coast.” So Rashid was actually quoting a statement by Soleimani. Concerning the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters where Soleimani made the statement, the Began-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies on May 3, 2021, published an article about it, “The Khatam al-Anbiya Camp and the Future of the Revolutionary Guards’ Empire.”

Iran will commit to the second sign post when the American economy finally collapses. Who knows when that’ll be?
The day after Trump’s 2020 landslide reelection was made to look, through hidden acts of fraud, like a Biden win, Ethopia’s prime minister Abiy Ahmed unleashed destruction on his political enemies. Abiy ordered Ethiopian troops to stand aside while troops from Eritrea invaded and began murdering Abiy’s opposition in the Tigray province. A year later, the tide has turned. Forces from Tigray are taking over much of Ethiopia and marching toward its capital. The US Department of State “urges U.S citizens in Ethiopia to depart now using commercially available options. The U.S. Embassy is unlikely to be able to assist U.S. citizens in Ethiopia with departure if commercial options become unavailable.”

If it is wise for Americans to get out of Ethiopia now, how much more so from a Middle East about to be invaded by Iran. The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, headquatered at Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, must either leave, be taken over, or be destroyed.
The debacle of the Biden Occupancy removing US military from Afghanistan without first rescuing American civilians should be an indicator of what will happen when Iran invades the Middle East (Daniel 7:5; Daniel 8:3-4; and Revelation 6:3-4).
Being one that has taught how to interpret various genres of Scriptures, I really appreciate your input on Chiasms in the Scriptures.
Was reading tonight to how a chiasm applies to the “six things God hates and seven are an abomination” passage. Never saw that one before either. Have a great Thanksgiving, Mark!

Prisms –
There is a fifth possible alternative to your statement, “The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, headquatered at Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, must either leave, be taken over, or be destroyed.” The Fleet may be ordered to stand down per CCP orders.
Iran’s leadership cannot be happy about recent Morocco-Israel military and intelligence cooperation.

When the President of Algeria sputters out “We will retaliate against anyone who dares to attack us, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” against Morocco, you know that tensions are running high. Morocco’s friendliness with the Great Satan and the Little Satan has a long and complicated history. On December 17, 1777, France formally recognized the USA as an independent country. Three days later, Morocco became the first Muslim country to do so. Mohammed ben Abdallah, the Sultan of Morocco at the time, was advised on foreign relations by a Jewish man, Samuel Sumbal.

Prior to the 1967 Six Day War, Morocco tipped off Israel on what the Muslim world that Morocco is a part of was planning to do.
