Barley does not determine the start of the month or year - that is the role of the moon (the lesser celestial light). God called the first month Abib (Ex. 13:4; 23:15; 34:18; Deut 16:1) ...

Revelation 3
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

MARCH 10 marks an historic and prophetic milestone, the 70th anniversary of the end of the Arab-Israeli War that began on May 14, 1948.
During the ten-month War of Independence, the newly established Nation of Israel significantly expanded its borders. By the time that a hand-made ink flag was raised in Eilat on March 10, 1949 (pictured below), Israeli forces had not only driven the Arabs from the land proposed for the Jewish State by UN Resolution 181 they controlled more than half of the land proposed for the neighboring Palestinian state.
Following a nearly 2,000-year-long winter, the fig tree had come to life and was putting forth leaves.

 Fig trees typically put forth leaves around the end of March/beginning of April: https://www.biblehistory.com/isbe/F/FIG%2C+FIG-TREE/
Eilat =  Israel's 'window onto the Red Sea'


March 10 – Daylight Savings Time Begins (101st anniversary) 
Who's in charge of time? Surprisingly, the Department of Transportation (DOT) is in charge of daylight saving time and all time zones in the U.S. 
The Standard Time Act of 1918, also known as the Calder Act, was the first United States federal law implementing Standard time and Daylight saving time in the United States.[2] It authorized the Interstate Commerce Commission to define each time zone. 
Passed the House on March 15, 1918 - Effective March 19, 1918
Woodrow Wilson signs into law the Standard Time Act, March 19, 1918
In adopting DST, the United States followed the lead of other major combatants in World War I, beginning with Germany, which made the time shift on May 1, 1916.

PM Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Pompeo Visit the Western Wall
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman visited the Western Wall plaza and placed a note in the Wall.  IsraeliPM - Published on Mar 21, 2019 https://youtu.be/6WSJi2o2VzI - official channel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (L) at the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City on March 21, 2019, during the second day of Pompeo's visit as part of his five-day regional tour of the Middle East. Pompeo is on a five-day trip to the Middle East where he is visiting Kuwait, Israel and Lebanon. 
Those who do want to tour the holy site usually do so in a private capacity, though in recent months an increasing number of foreign leaders have defied standard protocol and allowed Israeli diplomats to join them at the wall.
He was also taken to the Western Wall tunnels and Wilson’s Arch.
In the past, the US government had sought to avoid tacitly recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the parts of Jerusalem it took control of in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Pompeo appeared at the wall with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz and Western Wall Heritage Foundation director Mordechai Eliav.
The delegation then toured the Western Wall Tunnels, the Wilson excavations and visited the Shaarei Teshuva Synagogue in the Western Wall tunnels.

The Malham cave stretches for over 10 kilometres (6.25 miles), through Mount Sodom, Israel’s largest mountain. It is close to where the Bible claims Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt upon the “sight of God,” who had descended to Earth to bring destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Indeed, the cave’s main outlet is close to a salt pillar nicknamed “Lot’s wife,” after the biblical character. One of the chambers of the cave has been named the “Wedding Hall” due to its spectacular salt stalactites.
world’s longest salt cave. For 13 years, this title was held by Iran’s Cave of the Three Nudes (3N) on Qeshm Island.

They ask that the holy city of Jerusalem preserved the “common patrimony of humanity and especially the followers of the three monotheistic religions.”

Finally, the document included the desire for “full freedom of access to the followers of the three monotheistic religions and their right to worship will be guaranteed,” so Jerusalem is home to “a future of peace and fraternity on the earth.”
