(14 September 2026) What are the major points from Scripture that make up the Second Signpost, and written about in Daniel Revisited, chapter 10?
One is peace of mind is taken from the earth (Rev. 6:4).
Two is men butchering one another (Rev. 6:4).
Three is Iran as the bear will gorge on other Mideast countries (Dan. 7:5).
Four is Iran as the ram will get to do all it wants (Dan. 8:4).
Five is Iran as the ram will not be stopped by any power (Dan. 8:4).
Six is Iran as the ram will run out across the Mideast in three directions (Dan. 8:4).
The Seventh Biblical Feature
There is a number seven, but it wasn’t written about in Daniel Revisited. People pointed this out after the book was published.
I believe Jesus talks about the Four Signposts in Matthew 24:4–8.
Jesus said in Matthew 24:6 (NIV) about the Second Signpost and its wars,
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.”
That Greek word for “alarmed” actually means to be very emotionally afraid, to the point that it could include screaming in terror.
Why would Jesus tell us not to scream in terror? Well, it’s because us human beings will want to do exactly that.
Houthi Conquest of Yemeni Territory
It’s all over the news, on many news venues such as AP. The title of the piece is, People fleeing Iran-backed rebels’ advance in Yemen describe a “hysterical panic”.
The article talks about a heart-pounding escape. One couple said they set out in “hysterical panic” on a motorcycle.
I would say hysterical panic is equivalent to screaming in terror, wouldn’t you?
Conclusion
This is another data point that the second Signpost is here, despite this being only circumstantial evidence, though God works in circumstances all the time.
Rarely do I see a piece responding to a war situation in which the phrase “hysterical panic” is used. I also find it interesting that it happens at the same time that the Second Signpost supposedly starts.
This story also motivates us to perhaps make a modification to the interpretation of Scripture itself regarding the Second Signpost. Daniel 8:4 says the ram charges out to the north, west, and south. As long as a militia like the Houthis is under the command of the IRGC, funded by, trained by, the IRGC, then the ram could include other militias, not just the IRGC and Basij.
We will get a better understanding as we go along in time.
Keep watch.
