(6 June 2026) It is now 11 pm MST June 6, or, 5 AM GMT, June 7. We have been watching world and Mideast events surrounding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the IRGC. The Strait has been closed to normal traffic for 98 days.
Apparently, the Iranian regime is letting the world bleed out its extra oil stocks by closing the Strait, so that when the regime strikes the remaining oil facilities in the Middle East the price and economic shock will be especially sharp.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 (with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz) is still in play. And it will remain in play and then either be disproved when the regime is completely disbanded, or will be confirmed when the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
Much of the news the last few days has been back and forth between peace deals and more war. Iran is killing time, waiting.
People aren’t listening to the Signpost message. I continue at the grassroots level, mentioning the message to brothers and sisters who show concern for what is happening, but beyond that no one seems to care. Whatever shows or podcasts I speak at, bring little response.
Trump’s Speech Belies He Hasn’t a Clue
This recent Newsmax story reports that President Trump stated that Iran has no choice but to make a deal to end the war. Trump said Iran is strong and proud but will ultimately settle for peace because they have no choice.
Excuse me, Mr. President, no disrespect intended, but you apparently have no idea what the Iranian regime truly wants. Their goal is not to survive, or to “be strong.” Their goal is to bring out the Mahdi and the end of the world. The regime has plenty of choices.
They will hold out in their deep underground bunkers in the Zagros Mountains until they can come out and do what they want to do. Not only do they want to cause great economic chaos across the world, but conquer and united the Muslim nations of the Middle East so they can lead the Muslim community in waiting for the Mahdi.
In Fact, Hardly Anyone Has a Clue
Most experts in geopolitics will tell you they don’t know what is coming next. They can prognosticate and give percentages of possibilities but no one knows.
But the Signposts tell us things will get worse and that Iran will achieve its objectives.
The Israeli government, leading the way with the Trump administration being made a patsy, are thinking they will bring about God’s goals for a greater Israel and a revived Christian USA, but it is God that will work these things in His own way and timing. Israeli and American efforts are actually triggering and unleashing forces that they have no clue about how terrible these things will be.
Israel is unleashing the set of dominoes that will result in the Gog Antichrist filling Israel with Muslim armies as they try to extinguish Israel. Then at the last moments the Jews will cry out for their messiah to rescue them and Jesus appears.
America has unleashed the set of dominoes that will leave it in chaos and impoverished. And then and only then it will see true revival.
Most western Christians—whether Catholic or Protestant—are waiting for the Rapture.
Americans are waiting for greater glories and better days as we claim victory over Iran.
Traders are watching and trading the various stock, bond, and commodity markets.
Americans talk about traveling and going on vacations with no clue they could be stuck wherever they go.
Western Christians believe that we can debate prophecy and whatever happens will happen half a world away with no effect to us in America. There is a deplorable lack of awareness that prophetic events are about to hit the West in the face.
Conclusion
God showed me a few years back that hardly anyone would know, and that it was supposed to be this way. Instances of divine intervention kept the message from becoming well known.
This message, like all prophecy, is basically useless before it happens, but when it does happen, then prophecy is used for the encouragement and comfort for the saints. This is why it is to keep a low profile until then. However, we are to still share the message with our churches.
I do what I do because this is the job in the body of Christ God has given me. It is to share the message with my brothers and sisters who will listen and get ready at least mentally and spiritually. When God grabbed me back in 1997 he gave me love for my brothers and sisters and that is the motivator to continue to do what I do.
I am grateful to God for all of you who have been seeking the truth of what God is doing, and blessed by all of you watching with me.
By knowing the Signposts you are mentally prepared. By being surrendered to Christ and practicing Philippians 4:6 you are spiritually preparing.
Keep watch. Stay ready. God bless.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
Mark I have been following His second coming since the early 80s. I have read many books including yours. I know that the oil, food and financial aspects are going to be the catalyst but most Christians don’t want their reality to be disturbed. I will help as many people as I can but I believe many will be deceived because of their love of the world. I’m very thankful for this time in history and looking forward to seeing how it all works out. Thanks for your continued writing. Thanks Chris 😊
†God is good all the time. †
“Most western Christians — whether Catholic or Protestant — are waiting for the Rapture.”
That might be the situation in the US; you living there know better than I who am not living there. But it certainly is not true in Europe.
Yes, among brethren, Baptists, charismatic Christians etc. the majority are premillennialists who believe in a Roman antichrist and in a rapture before the great tribulation. I suppose this is like in the US. But these groups together are only a minority among European Christians.
In Europe, the vast majority of Christians are reformed, Anglican, Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox etc. Only a few of them are premillennialists. Most of them are amillennialists or postmillennialists. They have only a vague idea that Jesus will return some day in the future, with the last judgement and eternity immediately after. Most OT & NT prophecies are supposed to have been fulfilled in the first century.
For practical purposes, I think that a- & postmillennialism are better preparations for hardship & antichrist before the return of Jesus, than the belief that Jesus will protect Christians from any suffering by evacuating them before times become difficult.
By and large, they are not health-and-wealth or success-gospel people. They believe that Jesus does allow them to undergo suffering, like he has allowed the past two thousand years, including recent WW I & WW II, persecution of Christians by fascism, nazism, communism, etc.
So they should not be utterly disappointed in God or confused when WW III or something like it again comes over them, not even if there comes a new holocaust that this time includes the followers of Jesus. Though of course nobody will like it or be happy about it.
“This message, like all prophecy, is basically useless before it happens, but when it does happen, then prophecy is used for the encouragement and comfort for the saints. This is why it is to keep a low profile until then. However, we are to still share the message with our churches.”
This message is only basically useless until the second signpost and its worldwide consequences are happening at large. Then they have reason to take your message seriously because they know you said it would happen before, and sticked to it, even though it seemed inconceivable. This will happen ever more with every next signpost.
That is my hope, and it is not only needed for encouragement and comfort for the saints. The message of the Muslim-antichrist and the Muslim-jesus too should gradually be taken more seriously. And that is absolutely crucial to prevent the true followers of Jesus to be deceived. For we know from prophecy that it will be the most convincing and most successful deceit in world history. So bad that were it possible, even the elect would be deceived.
I think the signpost message, if proven true by the second signpost, ultimately is Gods absolutely necessary, gracefully gradual, wake-up call for the elect to not believe that the Muslim Jesus is the real Jesus of Nazareth.
No matter how powerful and convincing he is.
No matter how many people, Christian or whatever other religion or atheist, join this false prophet.
No matter if it is all of your own church or even all of your own family who tempt you to join the deceiver like they did.
Hi, would it alter President Trumps decisions if he became aware of the signpost theory? It seems to me if he understood he would react different.

Adamant,
All well said.
Regarding amillennialists and especially preterists, it is my belief they too are looking for the Rapture as next, as most premillennials are, but with the Second Coming accompanying it. This is why I wrote Christians are looking for the Rapture, whether prior to a Tribulation or prior to the Second Coming and end of everything. True, Catholics and others like Copts believe hardship will come along, but as far as exact prophetic events, it comes down to the Rapture. Doesn’t it?
Incidentally, here in America, while most protestant people are pre-Trib Rapture premillenials, the pastors are about 2/3 amillennial. I believe that to be a product of the students turned out by America’s seminaries whether Catholic or Protestant.
Hi Wimer,
That’s another thing about knowing the Signposts – the mental exercises in who should know and how might they react. For a while a few years back, I entertained the idea if possibly telling Bibi but never had the opportunity.
Since one ministry leader died of a heart attack before telling the first of his circle of political friends, and a call from a famous person’s producer was just fine until he gave his number and the number was garbled, with other signs, I’ve realized God didn’t want this getting out too much. That, and almost all pastors rejecting it for one reason or another.
It’s my opinion that if Bibi or Trump were told this, they would actually redouble their efforts to make sure Iran could not do what the Second Signpost says. My conscience wouldn’t allow me to either, knowing it was the transmittal of my message that caused extra suffering for millions of people.
Maybe if Reagan knew it, we could have piled on with Saddam’s troops in the 1980’s and taken out the regime at that point. But as far as I know no one knew it (i.e., Daniel 12:4, 9 was still in effect) until the First Signpost actually unfolded in 2003.
Anyone have similar or differing opinions on this? That’s just my take.
@Mark
You are right that they expect a return of Jesus as a complete sudden surprise, and that is very similar to the belief about the pre-trib rapture.
It is just that they never use the word “rapture” for it, only “second-coming” or “return” of Jesus. Also they usually expect it in some indeterminate future, possibly centuries or millennia away. Pre-trib rapture believers usually expect it to happen in their lifetimes.
I think in Europe too “evangelical” pastors and believers are becoming gradually more a-millennial. I have been seeing it happen in my lifetime.
People are aware how much different takes on prophecy there are. Worse, dissension, strife and splits between Christians have been occurring a lot because of different views on prophecy.
For this reason, I can relate to and even sympathise with people opting for a-millennialism, even though I do not agree with them.
@Mark
It is written somewhere “These things must happen, but woe upon them through which these things will happen.”
I too would not want to have on my conscience that what I say or write had unnecessary suffering as a consequence.
It is a bit like what you see in SF novels about time-travel: someone gone back in time knowing what will happen in the future must avoid changing things as much as possible.
Hi Mark,
the Iranian proxy news on X reports an attack on Kuwaiti oil infrastructure. Stranger yet is that Ahmadinejad (former president of Iran) has claimed or possibly leaked this information 18 hours ago. I wondered if it’s accurate or did you hear?
Many blessings all around. Maranatha.
Adamant,
Exactly.
We don’t know for sure Trump hasn’t heard it, and it may be exactly as you said, Mark, that if he did it just spurred him on if he thinks he’s invincible. I don’t know if you remember, but I mentioned several months back why he already may have heard it, although it’s not guaranteed.
@Mark
“Maybe if Reagan knew it, we could have piled on with Saddam’s troops in the 1980’s and taken out the regime at that point.”
Well, let’s say Saddam won with the help of American air power. Then what? A giant Iran-Iraq amalgamated empire under Saddam’s rule, or under whatever dictator might overthrow or outlive and be a handpicked successor to him? A Saddam with the resources of both Iraq and Iran definitely would have gotten nuclear weapons if he wanted to do it bad enough, unless someone stopped him, and who would that be, exactly? Would Reagan have had the fortitude to commit to major war in the Middle East if Saddam decided not to leave Iran and let us install a democratic government just because we asked nicely? Then there’s the possibility of Soviet intervention on Iran’s behalf, something Reagan and his advisors would have been forced to consider. People today tend to forget about the Afghan-Soviet War, or to assume it had to go the way it did. If the U.S. directly went to war against the Iranian regime, the Soviets could have used that as propaganda fodder to whip some fighting spirit into their people, in which case not only might the Soviet Union have fallen when it did, but it might have gotten stronger. God still would not let His people Israel be destroyed, but the ways in which He might have shaped the last fifty years might have left a history so different as to be unrecognizable to us today. We often tend to take our history for granted.
I don’t mean to sound snarky, I’m just bothered with a few other things going on. One guy deliberately talked one of my best and oldest friends into leaving a copy I gave her out in the rain, and he’s causing other problems as well.
@Adamant,
“I too would not want to have on my conscience that what I say or write had unnecessary suffering as a consequence.”
I used to think that way, but suffering is part of this life. Jesus promised that whoever follows Him would have tribulations and would be hated by the world. It isn’t really an excuse for holding back, though God doesn’t want us picking quarrels. His Holy Spirit is the only thing that can really end dissension and strife anyway.
K,
So basically you add to the argument that there was really nothing that could have been done to take out regime other than a WW1 level of effort on our part after Saddam’s removal. I agree. And the regime was going to go out across the Mideast at some point. Trump is just the one chosen by God to kick the hornet’s nest.
Adamant,
True, but consider what Bibi and Trump have done. By attacking Iran and the Strait closing as a result, they are indirectly party to causing misery for hundreds of millions of people in south and southeast Asia in which people can’t make a living and can’t cook their food. I know for me personally I wouldn’t want to be party to any of that.
@K
I agree with you about necessary and unavoidable suffering.
I actually have said things to people that absolutely had to be said, knowing full well that my words would cause a measure of pain.
I just do not want to inflict pain unnecessarily. That is why I used the word “unnecessary”.
I think you should have addressed this reply to K, not to me. I for one absolutely do not want to stand in the shoes of Trump or Netanyahu when they have to answer to Jesus for what they did.
Mark,
Let’s say we had a scenario in which Reagan found himself having to deal with an Iranian regime removed, only to have Saddam try to occupy Iran in the power vacuum. Could we have landed marines in the right places to secure roads and passes through the Zagros mountains to keep Saddam from resupplying his troops? Possibly. Might Saddam have launched infiltration attacks across the region to destroy Arab oil infrastructure in retaliation? Also possible. After Vietnam, I’m just thinking that the political will to reinstate the draft, which might have been required if the U.S. was going to occupy either Iraq, Iran, or both at that point just wasn’t there. Part of the reason the Gulf War under Bush I was so popular was it was short, relatively painless, and had a clear winner: Us. Also, the Arab oil embargo raised certain sensitivities and might have made the kind of political support in Congress that such an intervention would have required kind of dicey.
WWI-level effort is an interesting comparison. I’m not sure I know how to come at that one.
Yeah, I do think Trump is the one chosen by God to kick the hornet’s nest. I’m not sure the timing of October & makes sense for anything else, for one thing.

@cprrover4215
Which Chris is that?
@Adamant,
Who can tell which suffering is necessary?
We’ll find out eventually, if we’re meant to know.
The big picture the falling away has been going on since we went from analog to digital and covid put the last nail in the coffin.
Bill,
The falling away has been going on since the eighth century AD, when Islam began turning the Christians living in two-thirds of the Christian territory at the time, into Muslims.
@Adamant
“It is written somewhere “These things must happen, but woe upon them through which these things will happen.” “
Jesus was talking about Judas.
” I too would not want to have on my conscience that what I say or write had unnecessary suffering as a consequence. It is a bit like what you see in SF novels about time-travel: someone gone back in time knowing what will happen in the future must avoid changing things as much as possible.”
Of what possible use could time travel that fragile be anyway? The prophecies given in scripture don’t allow us to live our lives with that kind of worry. That isn’t faith.
@Adamant
Maybe Luke 17:1 was the verse you were thinking of?
