Men Trying to Play God (Day 112)

By Mark Davidson on June 20, 2026 • ( 0 )

(20 June 2026) It is now 11 pm MST June 20, or, 5 AM GMT, June 21. We have been watching world and Mideast events, waiting for escalation of what looks to be the Second Signpost.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed, with a little traffic in the last two days, but still mostly closed. It’s been this way for 112 days. Marinetraffic.com as of now shows two ships traversing the Strait.

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.

Three Groups of Men Trying to Help God’s Plans

The Israeli government seems to be driven right now to take the land God promised the Jews, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River. As if somehow by conquering those lands will bring the Messiah.

The Trump administration, so I’ve heard, is being driven by some to attack Iran so it can bring about the Gog-Magog War about, and thus bring about the Rapture.

And the regime in Iran is trying to bring about their Mahdi, with economic chaos across the world, and by conquering Muslim nations in the Middle East.

One of these three groups’ plans is not like the others.

Have you figured out which one it is and why?

The Jews and the USA are trying to bring about what God has written in the Bible, the Word of God.

The regime is only trying to bring about what their holy writing says, which is written by men.

God’s Plans

If the Signpost theory is correct, then the following seems to be happening.

Man’s plans are only man’s plans, and God sometimes allows men to reach their goals, such as the Iranian regime doing everything they want to do and so the Mahdi enters the stage at some point in the near future.

But man working God’s plans doesn’t work. Abraham having a son with Hagar is an example. God promised a son to Abraham and he rushed it. This resulted in thousands of years of enmity between Ishmael and Israel.

God can also take man’s plans, twist them, and use them to achieve His own plans. In this case, God is going to take Israel’s and America’s attempts at forcing eschatological events in the Bible, to bring them about but in the way He has truly prescribed in His Word.

Therefore, Israel’s and America’s attempts at conquest would result in Iran conquering the Middle East, the four-fold Sunni confederacy conquering the Mideast, and then the Mahdi (Antichrist) rises from the ashes, unites all of Islam, they march on Jerusalem in the Gog-Magog War, and then their Messiah arrives at the last minute to save one-third of them.

Conclusion

Oh, Israel will get their land, and get their Messiah, but only after much misery called out in God’s Word, that God sovereignly decided would be triggered by Israel’s own futile efforts.

What do you think?

Keep watch.
