(7 March 2026) Now hear this. This may sound bold, but I believe it is called for at this point, otherwise, I will have possibly failed and not warned the Church. And if I am wrong, I will bear the embarrassment of false alarm. I have never written a post like this on this website, ever. This feels surreal.
Due to the situation with Iran, oil, and the Strait of Hormuz explained in this last post, IF the Strait of Hormuz, or oil production in the Middle East is halted for the next 20 consecutive days, we can say the SECOND SIGNPOST BEGAN MARCH 2, 2026.
Why March 2, 2026
We can say this because of the following. The actions of the Second Signpost are the Bear eating (conquering nations and killing), the Ram charging in three directions (conquering nations and killing), and the second horseman taking away peace of mind (iraynay) from the earth, and causing men to slay (i.e. butcher, actually) one another in the Islamic Realm.
At this point in time, none of the running out by Iran’s IRGC and Basij has started.
However, the clock has started ticking on the loss of iraynay. Starting March 2, 2026, the 20-25% of the world oil supply coming from the Middle East has been stopped.
If the stoppage goes on for 25 days straight, the western world economy, and likely the economies of India and China as well, we can say the process of taking away the iraynay of the world began March 2, five days ago. That day, for people bad at math, will be March 27, 2026.
After March 27, 2026 Assuming Strait Closed
I will continue to post for as many days as I can. In fact, I hope the Strait reopens soon so we have more time to get the Church prepared.
I hope you yourselves are all ready as you can be. Mentally, the next things will be Iran’s invasion (you can download the little red book for free here), the Third Signpost, the Fourth Signpost, and then the Tribulation, followed by the Return of Christ.
I hope you all have Christ as number one in your hearts, above any idols.
Trust in God. We have the promise of Matthew 6:33.
I hope you are ready to tell your pastor, friends, and family, about what is happening, for if March 27 sees impoverishment here in America, things will only get worse in the long term.
John 6:39, 40, 44, and 54 tells us not to count on the Rapture prior to the Tribulation. The Blessed Hope itself, then, is none other than the return of Jesus Christ Himself to take over and rule earth (Titus 2:13).
I hope to see you on that Day with Christ.
God bless.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
thank you for such a bold post and preparing us. I thank God for giving you such wisdom to reveal the hidden word.
i’m praying, preparing & sharing this message.
the link you shared above on this article is not working.
God bless.
with prayers P
Hi Mark, you and I have had this conversation before. But I thought Id bring it up again for your consideration:
What if instead of direction,that the bones represent proxy forces that have been stripped of the meat, and now are calling the Bear to eat much flesh.
Still staying within the framework?
A skeleton of what they used to be.
Hezbollah North
Hamas West
Houthis South
How’s that for a correlation?
Thank-you, Mark, for your watchfulness, analyses, and informing.
Thomas,
I don’t believe so. The Bear is Iran, not its allies, just as the “Persian” Ram is named in Daniel 8:20, and of course the Ram and Bear are the same thing being higher on one side.
However, with the playing out of the events, if the Strait of Hormuz is cut off, than Arab oil countries don’t get payment, and in turn don’t get 80% of their food, and so that region will start feeling the effects of the third horseman very soon. So perhaps the Third Signpost comes quicker than we may have thought. And perhaps the ribs stand for starvation?
Let’s watch.
Hezbollah is only north of Israel, not to the “north.” Nice attempt.
But just wait.
Since the oil has been cutoff, as I say in this post, that is the work of the Second Horseman. And if that is the case, the invasion by Iran’s army is next. Plain and simple.
Wait for the Lord to work.
Wait for His Word to unfold.
Habakkuk 2:2.
Hi P,
Which link is that? I tested the last two posts’ links and they work for me.
I hope you yourselves are all ready as you can be. Mentally, the next things will be Iran’s invasion (you can download the little red book for free here),
hi Mark
I was talking about the link for the red book to download.
P – Will do thanks. Fixed!
Mark:
Let’s see what the logical consequences are. If China, Japan and South Korea run out of oil first who collapses first? Will China be more emboldened to attack Taiwan (strike while we have any oil left) or less emboldened (they need to conserve what little they have). Would North Korea be in the same situation with South Korea? Would Japan be hurt worse than the depravation of WW2?
The United States: There were certain county sheriffs around the county working on strained fuel budgets (Biden anti-energy policies drained them fast with $5 per gallon gas). Would that increase crime in rural areas knowing that police have run out of gas? I remember the fuels shortage during the Yom Kipper War of 1973 and during the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Impatient drivers were killing others to get in line first. That was when this country, while still inhabited by sinful men, still had a general sense of patience. In this culture of NO PATIENCE and gangs roaming everywhere and terrorists let in by Biden and with fuel prices that maybe five or ten times of the 1970s this does not look pretty.
Canada: I would think that this would skyrocket support in Alberta for independence, and at the same time embolden Eastern Canada to crush independence. Alberta could be very rich.
As an aside and not (in my opinion) off topic, it is my view that Ps.37 is a prophecy of God’s provision during the tribulation.
Karl,
The logical consequences are so many it makes my head hurt.
Regarding China, since they get 2/3 of their oil from Russia and domestically, but Japan, Taiwan and South Korea get 90% from the Middle East, China may be able to waltz right in. No oil also means no food. Australia gets all its gasoline and diesel from Korea and Japan since Australia wisely (/s) ended oil production of all they needed, in order to save the environment. And about Taiwan, we won’t be able to stop them – and its not that we wont have oil – we will eventually after getting the refineries retooled after many months, but we will have no money. The dollar will be dead.
Regarding the USA, yes, the 2020’s will be very different from the 1970’s and 1930’s. It will be ugly, especially in the cities.
Yes, Psalm 37, and 91.
