Day 45: The Point of No Return, and Why Only a Strait Closure is a Blessing

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

(14 April 2026) As we are in late evening of April 14 here in the USA, it is the early hours of April 15 in Iran.

One thing, one event, that would be the turning point for seeing that the Second Signpost is definitely on, would be the destruction of the oil facilities and/or oil fields of the nations of the Persian Gulf, including those of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The IRGC has been threatening to do just that since April 7.

The IRGC threatened it when Trump said that the US would destroy all of Iran’s power plants. Thankfully the US never attacked those power plants.

The IRGC threatened it again just a couple days ago when Trump said the US Navy would reopen the Strait. Again, thankfully, this hasn’t happened yet.

Point of No Return

You see, so far, Iran has only closed the Strait. Yes, this has cut off one-fifth of the world’s oil, causing fuel prices to rise and there is some scrambling for fuel supplies in some countries, like India, Vietnam, Japan, and the Philippines.

However, the oil price hasn’t really taken off yet because since most of the Arab oil infrastructure still exists and is mostly functioning, there is always the hope that this whole fuel shortage will be over tomorrow or next or next month. Yes, prices rose 40 percent or so, but it is being restrained. There is still the hope things would return to normal in the calendar year of 2026.

However, if Iran were to destroy all the oil facilities in the Middle East, the hope of getting more oil, and oil at a decent price will be gone for years and possibly even more years.

Then the market price of oil will rise as we have never seen before. Oil at $200-$300 per barrel might only be the start.

And since the Mideast oil would be offline, it would only be a matter of weeks or months until the Petrodollar is dead and hyperinflation hits.

This all would be the sign that the full strength of the second horseman taking away the peace of mind of the earth.

And that would be our sign that we are indeed in the Second Signpost.

Only a Strait Closure? Count It a Blessing

So you see, so far with the Strait closure there is some anxiety around the world, but not like we would see if Iran destroys the entire oil infrastructure.

And why would they do this? As I wrote in Daniel Revisited chapter 10, it would be to bring chaos to the world in order to beckon their Mahdi to arise.

So for now, America has inflation but not hyperinflation. For now, India has lost half its natural gas but not half its oil. For now, as long as strategic reserves and extra inventories of oil are being used up around the world to keep prices below the stratosphere, things are more or less being held together.

What the IRGC Could Do Next

If this is indeed all the Second Signpost going on right now, at some point the IRGC will destroy the entire oil infrastructure around the Middle East. It might happen when the IRGC is about to be extinguished. It might happen when all the extra world inventories are used up so that by destroying oil facilities, the people of the world become desperate very quickly.

Conclusion

So don’t think we are out of the woods yet. Do not relax. We are not out of danger.

We must wait until the Strait is truly open to the traffic it had before, or Iran finally unleashes destruction, loss of peace of mind, and desperation. It’s one or the other.

As long as we are in this holding pattern of the Strait closed with oil facilities mostly intact, we are at the crossroads, so do not stop preparing spiritually, mentally, and physically where you can.

I count every day as a God-given blessing to prepare more, and to tell and alert more people to the Signposts.

How long will this holding pattern hold up for? I could be totally wrong, but I don’t see it holding past the end of May. The IRGC will get desperate at some point having used up mot of its drones and missiles, or the world will have used up all its extra oil and the IRGC would see a special opportunity.

Keep watch.
