WHY A MILITARY CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND IRAN IS NOT AN "IF" BUT "WHEN"!

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:

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:

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!
