(29 July 2026) It is now 8 pm MST July 29, or, 2 AM GMT, July 30. We have been watching events centered on Iran and its regime, waiting for escalation of what looks to be the Second Signpost. We have been watching since February 28.
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 151 days. That is over five months.
Daniel Revisited, pp 201-202 Coming True
Daniel Revisited, chapter 10, on pp 201-202 (Thomas-Nelson edition), says:
“The Bible says the ram will be free to do as it pleases to the north, south, and west of Susa. Regretfully Daniel 8:4 says, “No animal could stand against him, and none could rescue from his power.” The nations surrounding Iran will not stand, and forces caught in the ensuing melee will not be rescued. I have heard many times that the United States would never allow Iran to successfully invade the Middle East. But, the Bible says what it says, unfortunately in this case. Anyone who tries to stop Iran will fail.”
Yes, unfortunately.
The Unfolding Reality
We witnessed at the end of February a sitting US president actually trigger the conditions for what looks like the Second Signpost being set up to start. And the war has not had the effect on the Iranian regime that the US administration had hoped for.
Alistair Crooke (who has appeared on YouTube channels such as Deep Dive) wrote a piece titled The War’s Back is Broken.
The tagline at top is the following:
“The U.S. ultimately will have to capitulate, with the result that Iran becomes a regional power.”
Daniel 8:3 says of the Persian Ram, “He did as he pleased and became great.”
To that end, Crooke writes at the end in summary,
“The U.S. has lost the war. By adopting such uncompromising Manichaean language, Trump effectively has severed himself from any prospective diplomatic solution. By widening the war (Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq) he has severely complicated any diplomatic track. All elements are interrelated, yet they also have separate agendas. Thus a solution involves a complex matrix of issues, rather than a binary dispute between the U.S. and Iran alone. The U.S. ultimately will have to capitulate, with the result that Iran becomes a regional power (strengthening Russia and China), whilst the Region slowly will come to terms with this new West Asian reality.”
Crooke’s article is not fiction. If you’ve been reading this website for the last few months, you’ve seen analyst after analyst peel back the onion to show that the US has been defeated, and Iran has won.
This “new West Asian reality” he speaks of will include the finishing of the Second Signpost, and then the Third and Fourth.
Conclusion
At this point in time, what was held as impossible by most Americans has happened: it looks like the US has actually lost the war.
Further attempts by the US to try to reverse what is happening is going on right now as the US attacks Iran.
Iran gained control of the Strait of Hormuz, choking off one-fifth of the world’s oil, and can strike US bases and oil infrastructure in the region at will, and there is nothing the US can do about it short of nuclear war or an American invasion involving one million men.
Daniel Revisited says, repeating from the top of this post, “Anyone who tries to stop Iran will fail.”
So far, the US has failed. Yes, the US would never allow Iran to invade, but they failed to knock Iran down.
All that’s left is for the US to run out of ammo, or withdraw due to whatever reason (WW3, loss of economic power), or to be catastrophically defeated such as missiles taking out US warships.
Also, some time in August and September, we should expect supply line breakdown and fuel shortages.
My hope is you all who know the Signposts will inform your churches and communities of what is happening.
Keep watch, and prepare.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
I just tried to warn a friend at pizza this afternoon and he just shrugged it off as “Trump hasn’t taken the gloves off yet. He’s being too nice to the Iranians “.
