Alert: Second Signpost Start Could Be on a Hair Trigger

By Mark Davidson on January 14, 2026 • ( 0 )

It would be an understatement to say that there is a lot going on in and around Iran these days, since the start of 2026.

Violent demonstrations and riots have spread across Iran. Now it seems these riots are actually an attempt at a color revolution started by the CIA and Mossad. And then there is President Trump threatening to attack Iran if demonstrators are killed. Reports say the IRGC and Basij have killed anywhere from 500 to 10,000 people. Yet, it seems Trump cannot attack Iran just yet because the Pentagon isn’t ready. One reason may be because the ships needed to support such an offense were gathered around Venezuela.

And now we hear that the riots are dying down and the regime is preserved.

The Second Signpost

So what does all this mean for the Second Signpost? Readers have reached out to me asking what I think may happen next, or what should we pray for.

Cutting through all the noise and events, it really comes down to two alternatives. Option 1 is if the regime falls, then the Second Signpost is done and the Signpost theory of interpretation needs to be re-thought. Option 2 is if the regime survives, then the Second Signpost is launched and the world gets set up in earnest for the end times.

I have my doubts about Option 1. There is just too much Scripture, world history, and geopolitics that have formed a solid argument for the coming of the Second Signpost.

The Alert per Option 2

And if the regime survives long enough, standing up against domestic unrest, and attacks from the US and Israel, the Second Signpost could begin at any moment with no warning. True, there would likely need to be a military buildup in the plains surrounding Susa in order to stage an invasion, but there may be ways for a military buildup that doesn’t attract too much attention. The Basij and its motorcycles won’t look like tanks.

And there is always Russia or China starting WW3 one way or another.

Pray and Watch

So what might we pray for right now?

Pray for strength to stand up under the coming trials and tests, which will indeed come, but now may come sooner than later if the Second Signpost is an absolute surprise to us all.

Pray for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to do the things He would want you to do.

Continue to seek His kingdom and His righteousness so your needs will be met, for He has promised. Don’t bother praying for the economy as I have heard some Christians say—be in the Bride and stay rooted in Christ per Matthew 6:33, and not in idolatry in the Harlot.
