Israel has essentially recently been given notice that she must strike Iran before 6 weeks time, or face extinction at their hands:
"Iran cuts down to six weeks timeline for weapons-grade uranium:
http://www.debka.com/article/21760/
According to the above time frame of 6 weeks, it would coincide with Passover time this year.
Perhaps, Israel may be delivered from her arch enemy, Iran, just as she was delivered at the very first Passover, from her bondage in Egypt.
Also, we are fast approaching Purim, the celebration of the protection of the Jews from the hatred of Haman of Persia, who also desired to annihilate the Jews.
Noteworthy is the fact that ancient Persia is modern day Iran. History, therefore, appears to be repeating itself.
We are witnessing Ahmadinejad of Iran, duplicating Haman of Persia's attempt to totally destroy the Jewish race.
Another possibility is that we may soon see the modern day equivalent of God's protection of His chosen people from their Persian/Iranian adversary, as in Purim, outlined in the book of Esther.
It is imperative to thoroughly understand the driving force behind Iran's zealous Shiite president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
He is a devout Shi'a Muslim, who is eagerly awaiting the return his Islamic Messiah, known as the "Mahdi".
Ahmadinejad believes that the "Mahdi" will come to Earth following a great catastrophe like a nuclear war.
This catastrophe will supposedly lead to the Mahdi bringing peace to the world, converting the remainder of Earth's inhabitants to Islam.
Therefore, Iran appears to be goading Israel into launching a preemptive strike against them because the Iranian leadership thinks the ensuing global catastrophe will usher in their Islamic Messiah figure, the Mahdi.
Due to this apocalyptic theology, Iran's agenda is to intentionally provoke major widespread conflict in order to bring about global cataclysm and their long awaited Messiah figure.
As such, no diplomacy, crippling sanctions or incentives for peace by the West will deter them from their goal.
The Iranian Shiite leadership's ideology regarding their "Mahdi" is rendering their track irreversible.
Thus, Iran is advancing full speed ahead towards their goal of obtaining nuclear weapons, so as to bring about worldwide calamity.
Noteworthy is the fact that Iran's allies (all of whom are listed among the Psalm 83 War coalition of nations) have been steadily preparing; by militarily fortifying themselves for years, for this very event.
They are all on standby to attack Israel, when she is forced into a preemptive strike against Iran.
Please see this entry regarding the details of the soon coming, prophesied Psalm 83 War, from which Israel emerges as the victor:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-psalm-83-war-here-are-details.html
Iran's assumption appears to be that by provoking Israel into attacking, that it will "kill two birds with one stone":
1) The resulting World War will lead to global cataclysm, bringing about the return of their Mahdi.
2) Their allies will simultaneously attack Israel from several fronts, accomplishing Iran's oft stated goal of "wiping Israel off the map".
Iran has voiced its desire that Israel be annihilated, many, many times:
Israel must "be wiped off the map" ,”would soon disappear off the map", "will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world, ... The World without Zionism.”, "We will help 'cut out the cancer of Israel".
The very fact that the IAEA has now clarified that Iran is soon about to attain its aspiration of a nuclear bomb, should show the entire world that Israel has absolutely no choice but to protect herself, from what Iran intends to be her certain annihilation.
A military confrontation between the state of Israel and the soon-to-be nuclear Iran is not a matter of IF, but WHEN and WHEN is drawing very NEAR!
Mideast events are quickly aligning to where many possible rationales for the prophesied total destruction of Damascus are coming into view.
Important to note is the fact that Damascus, Syria is the oldest, inhabited city in the history of the world.
Therefore, this Biblical prophecy wherein Damascus "ceases to be a city" has never been fulfilled, and is yet future.
Events in the Mideast are degrading by the day, so this prophecy about the total destruction of Damascus; appears to occur in the very NEAR future.
"IDF fears Syria attack as pressure builds on Assad"
"Israel concern hones in on recent reports that Assad is using nerve gas against the new opposition."
http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=258040
The president of Syria, Bashar Assad is the one who ought to be fearing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)!
Isaiah 17:1 Behold, DAMASCUS WILL CEASE TO BE A CITY will become a heap of ruins.
God's end time prophetic warnings are crying out to those who will "have an ear", to prepare their hearts.
"He who will have an ear, let him hear" Matthew 11:15
It is time for all to decide which god they truly serve...the everlasting God of Heaven or the god of this fleeing world.
Many professing Christians appear to be WAY TOO comfortable in and WAY TOO attached to their earthly lives.
This is extremely dangerous ground to be found treading.
As followers of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, we are called to be set apart from the world.
However, many have been successfully lured in by the enemy; to where they are "bosom buddies" with the world, and don't even realize it.
"You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?..." James 4:4
God foretold this END now coming coming into view, from the very BEGINNING.
In His boundless love and mercy, God even elaborated on the many last days signs that we are to WATCH for, so we could know as the end approached, to draw nigh to Him.
As we witness all the prophesied end times signs exploding all around us, may we recognize that it is time to release the grip that the world has on us and that we may have on this world. Lest, it cause us to be fastened too tightly to this earthly life when the Savior returns.
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.' 1 John 2:15
The below linked article, referencing the March 8th "Internet Doomsday", is from PC World, which is a legitimate website regarding computer related topics.
It verifies the circulating internet rumor that "...an untold number of people may lose their Internet connection in less than three weeks".
Any infected computers would need to have the DNS malware removed prior to March 8, 2012 in order to maintain internet connectivity.
Here is a link given by PC World, to a program which instantly checks a computer to determine if it is infected:

According to this article, to avoid an "internet doomsday" for individual computers; it is vital to evaluate and remove the malware, (if infected) prior to March 8, 2012.
Today's coinciding, breaking nuclear announcements made by Iran and by Obama are surely no sheer coincidence.
"Obama weighs BIG CUTS (up to 80%) in NUCLEAR weapons stockpile"
http://www.stltoday.com/news/national/obama-weighs-big-cuts-in-nuclear-weapons-stockpile/article_a3f9b7f5-f92c-5adc-b813-53d71228356a.html
Obama's major NUCLEAR news, announced today, the same exact day of Iran's big NUCLEAR news, is surely nothing less than premeditated.
"Iran trumpets NUCLEAR ADVANCES"
Insane as it sounds, there is method to Obama's madness...
He is deliberately sending a loud and clear message to Iran and the rest of the world.
In essence, Obama is indicating that America is soft and has no plans to use nukes, offensively or defensively.
He is basically attempting to hand both Israel and her protectorate, America, over to the Islamic regimes on a silver platter....
This simultaneous "nuclear news" appears to be a concerted effort to help push Israel towards a preemptive attack of Iran.
Israel is bound to realize that Obama's nefarious intent behind this not so veiled message, is to embolden her enemies.
Concurrently, Iran is alerting Israel that they are on the precipice of a nuclear bomb; to make good on their threats to "wipe Israel off the face of the map".
Ultimately, it is clear to all involved that Obama is indicating that with him at the helm, America will "stand down" and not come to Israel's aid.
God holds the hearts of all kings in his hands.
Therefore, all these deceitful and wicked plans are being allowed by the Most High, to fulfill His end times prophetic Word, to finally bring His chosen ones of Israel to salvation, through Yeshua HaMashiach.
May blinded eyes be open to the fact that the prophesied "Time of Jacob's Trouble", known to Christians as the "Tribulation period", is fast approaching..
"Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jeremiah 30:7
