(29 March 2026) It is now 10 pm MST March 29, or, 5 AM GMT, March 30.
We are watching both the actions of the Iranian and American militaries, as well as the deterioration of the world economy while the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
As of now, the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked. It has been blocked for 29 days. About 464 to 580 million barrels of oil have been removed from global oil supplies by Iran’s closing of the Strait of Hormuz. This amount negates the 400 million barrels that was released from inventories around the world in order to stabilize prices.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 is still in play. And it will remain in play until the regime is completely disbanded, or until the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
There are two news items today.
News Item 1: Fertilizer Will Impact Crop Yields in the Autumn
Two excellent articles, one about the fertilizer and chemical market, and another about farmers and crops, with all the challenges coming up now and in the months ahead.
US farmers are cutting back on planting corn, and planting soybeans which don’t need as much fertilizer.
Here me now: the lack of fertilizer is already impacting northern hemisphere planting. Since one-third of all fertilizer missing, one-third of all crop yields will be missing.
It doesn’t matter if the Strait is opened tomorrow the damage is done to crop yields. Start or enlarge gardens now if you have been planning to do so.
This situation may very well see the opening of the Third signpost this Fall, and if this is so, this lends more credibility to the idea that Iran’s armies will run out and conquer the Middle East sometime between now and then, i.e. maybe in the summer.
The dates if last shipments arriving in various parts of the world due to the lag time of tanker travel. The US will be the last impacted.
News Item 2: The IRGC Hormuz Strait Toll Booth and the Death of the Petrodollar
An excellent article by Pepe Escobar explains in detail how the IRGC has now set up a “toll booth” of sorts allowing certain ships through the Strait by paying a $2 million toll. The article explains how it is set up, how it works, and that basically the real kicker is it sets up the petroyuan, and kills the petrodollar.
The bottomline from the article is basically,
“Each toll paid in petroyuan bypasses the petrodollar, SWIFT and US sanctions – all in one go. The Iranian parliament will approve legislation institutionalizing the toll booth as ‘security compensation.’ No one saw this coming – and so fast: legalized chokepoint monetization. Without firing a shot. This is what de-dollarization trade is really all about.
“The petrodollar is on the way out. Alternative payment systems are up and running. And the Global South is watching in real time how the Empire of Endless Bombing can be brought to a standstill by a decentralized war of attrition engineered by a sovereign nation with one-fiftieth of the imperial defense budget.”
Conclusion
The only difference between real events today and what was forecast in Daniel Revisited, is that the space of time between loss of peace of mind and the invasion by Iran of the Middle East, may be longer.
The misery of taking away peace of mind by the second horseman continues to intensify and spread. Countries are having shortages of fuel and/or fertilizer and are reacting. Millions of people are stressed out.
It will intensify here in the United State, but probably more slowly.
If you live in the West (US, Europe, Canada, Australia) start or expand homegrown gardens and chicken coops and even livestock if you have the room.
The acceleration of the death of the US Petrodollar has taken hold. In a little while we may be seeing some hyperinflation. Get into gold and silver if you can.
Keep dwelling in the shelter of the Most High.
Keep watching.
We may see things accelerate once US marines land on Kharg Island.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
” I watched the ram as it charged toward the west (Hamas) and the north (Hezbollah)and the south (Houthis). No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power. It did as it pleased and became great.”
I am just not seeing this fit in place right now Mark. Iran is getting obliterated. Yes, Iran is fighting hard but it is not doing anything remotely close “as it pleases” by any means. Please re-examine the Barak years when he dropped millions of money to them to the Biden years. Truly in that timespan none was being rescued from its power. None at all. Turkey and other Sunnis are on board and ready in seeing it’s demise. Its a fact that Iran played 90% involvement in supplying arms to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Think about it Mark.
Many of us, including me, need more than just food: we need medicines to keep functioning or even to just stay alive. Even if we homegrow our own crops, or get them from friends, we cannot grow medicines.
Yesterday I read the first news articles concerning medicine shortages. Vast amounts of the world’s medicines or the ingredients for them come from China and India, where the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are being affected by the war in the Middle East. Countries usually have stocks of most meds for one or two months, but after that prices will raise and shortages will hit.
I managed to prepare a stock of medicine for a month. This should be enough to cover a temporary supply issue. If supply ceases completely I will use this stock to wean of the medicine slowly over several months, to postpone the consequences and to minimize withdrawal symptoms. This is my suggestion to every medicine user who reads this.
Some modern medicines must be kept cold and/or last not long. These cannot be transported by ships but have to be transported by plane, and for these having large stocks is almost impossible. Flight disruptions (less flights and more expensive) between Europe and Asia, already there for a month now, will hit these medicines first.
Two very critical classes of medicines are antibiotics and vaccines. Without enough of these, the great epidemics of previous centuries will return. No less than 60-70% of all of the world’s vaccines come from India!
This might be a shadow of the plagues of the fourth seal/horseman/signpost: Revelation 6:7–8 and Luke 21:11.
Gary,
You don’t see it yet because it hasn’t happened yet.
Since we ARE seeing the second horseman beginning to take away peace from the earth, and we ARE seeing the seeds of major famine being literally planted right now with a loss of 1/3 of the fertilizer, hence the ground is being laid for the appearance of the third horseman later on, the Ram and Bear running out would occur between now and then.
Did you see this post? Just give it time. Its not over either way – until the regime is destroyed/disbanded – or Iran runs out and fulfills the Second Signpost.
Adamant,
Very good points.
The IRGC are putting 12 year old into uniforms, Mark. Doesn’t sound like they are thriving. I understand clearly in being careful in declaring when prophecy has been fulfilled or is being fulfilled but there has already been so much collapse of Iran’s infrastructure. The Ram dictates as ease of in charging West, North, West. Eating much flesh (meat) is an idiom to eat well of others their gain, to eat the spoils. Several of their leaders have been destroyed.
Signpost has been there for awhile Mark.
Gary,
They put 12- and 14-yr olds into uniform before as well in the 1980’s war. They were part of the Basij. The “troops” that almost overwhelmed Saddam’s army’s positions were that age. Hundreds of thousands of them.
Again, just wait.
it would seem to be that even on Christian sites they fall for stupid propaganda no they’re not putting 12-year-olds It’s 18-year-old for Iran that’s as young as it goes, just look at the site where the information comes from please. as for this not being Daniel 8 because Iran’s getting bombed, It’s not really a valid argument in every war both sides take hits,but you can see the framework of Daniel 8 prophecy being fulfilled. number one, the larger horn is coming up fast all the doves have been killed or a lot of them, hardliners aligned with the IRGC are coming into play so that horn is definitely getting bigger. number two, this one is huge the straights are closed sort of, tolls are being extracted by Iran big windfall, Iran is beginning to be great, because of this nation’s are coming to them to get a pass going through the strategic waterways,Pakistan for one, Spain for another India for another China,many more nations are making deals with Iran (so Iran’s calling the shots in a lot of instances) number three, because of Iran’s dispersed military zones 31 I believe that correct,31 independently military districts they are more likely to go for years sending their drones, and missiles,Also 13 American bases are useless now, and no doubt eventually will leave like the Americans are doing in Iraq, right now.As well eventually because America and Israel are expending all their expensive anti-missile missiles they will have to pull back. as well the West’s expensive bombing missiles are running low, where Iran will not have to, until all the military bases are gone from the middle East. another thing is 80% of the missiles or even more are getting through, air defense in the west is really not that good Ted postal, does a good documentary or video on it through judge nap. so for the West it’s death by a thousand cuts, as well Iran is getting richer by the day $110 a barrel there exports have increased by 25% The West is fearful of energy shortages so they let Iran sell their oil, I mean you can’t make this stuff up. as well Iran has escalation dominance the big one is desalination plants Iran does not require them, Iran is mainly fed by water from the mountains. but all the GCC nations get most of their water from these desalination plants if they are hit they’re finished as viable countries.as well you can see in the future the groundwork being set for the Ram to push out into the middle East whether it’s 6 months or a year I don’t know, but the middle Eastern nations around the middle East will continue to get weaker Iraq is on board with Iran now Hezbollah is having success in the south the Houthis will be a thorn in the flesh like they have been the last 3 years closing down the Red Sea so actually when Iran does go out it’s probably only a mop up expedition. of course until Turkey gets involved. all that to say that I think iran if they just hold on their position will strengthen every day that goes by.. panic is setting in on the West if they’re willing to put boots on the ground you know they’re panicking.
