Signpost Theory “Celebrates” 25 Years

(11 September 2026) Yes, 25 years ago today, planes piloted by Islamists flew into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.

About 3,000 died that day in the attacks. It was the single most devastating attack by foreigners on American soil in terms of lives lost in American history.

The Prayer

September 11, 2001 is also the anniversary of the Signpost theory. The day after that horrific event, after I had a chance to think about it, I asked the Lord for wisdom. Per Philippians 4:6, and James 1:5, I asked God what His plans were for the end times.

The Path

And the day after that, September 13, 2001, He guided me on to a path of research. First the Islamic and Syrian Antichrist, and then the awakening and connecting of Daniel 7, Daniel 8, and Revelation 6:1-8, which yielded the Four Signposts.

The First Proof

Arriving at the framework in January 2003, I thought it was crazy. The First event said that Mesopotamia’s government—currently of Iraq—was going to be changed from something brutal to something civilized? Never happened in 2,500 years, I thought. Impossible.

Then, in February 2003, US President George W. Bush said that that was what the US military was going to do. They were going to remove the murderous Saddam Hussein and replace the government with a democracy.

The scales fell from my eyes, and the stopping up of the prophecies spoken of by Daniel 12:4 was undone. God answered my prayer and request for wisdom, to know His plans. IT WAS ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE BIBLE, BUT CENTURIES-OLD TEACHINGS HAD CLOUDED THE PASSAGES. God answered me by showing me how to read His prophetic Word. (All assuming of course that the Signpost theory is correct!)

I watched from 2003 to 2005 as the First Signpost was fulfilled in every detail. Not generally. In every detail.

Some might say exact fulfillment of the first event is coincidence. I took it as the first proof out of four because the second event was too horrific to take a chance that it would NOT happen, and NOT warn the Church.

The Book

What started as a curiosity and watching God orchestrate the world to fulfill His Word, became a hobby starting in 2010. It became the hobby after 2012. The blog began in that year. Daniel Revisited was self-published in 2013. It got just enough of people’s attention Thomas-Nelson took it and republished in 2014.

Most Not Listening

Most people couldn’t be bothered with the Signpost theory. The first event being fulfilled was a coincidence they say.

Brothers and sisters cannot be convinced that the Rapture is not next and is not imminent.

Ministry leaders and pastors generally don’t want to teach anything outside of the teachings they received in seminary. It’s all about Roman Antichrist and imminent Rapture.

Twenty-Five Years and the Second Signpost

So here we are twenty-five years later.

The regime of Iran, the Persian Ram with the two long horns, responding to misguided and yet God-ordained attacks by the US, has effectively drained the world of its oil inventory, raised prices, caused hardship in Southeast Asia, and set the world up for a major global famine in the spring of 2027.

And now, last night, the IRGC’s allies the Houthis took out one of the last major alternate routes for oil out of the Middle East that avoided the Strait of Hormuz. In addition American naval forces are in retreat from unusable bases.

It looks like the Second Signpost is finally here. Anytime now, the regime could take out all the rest of the oil facilities of the Arabs.

After twenty-five years the Second Signpost is poised to go.

As always, keep watch.
