Ok, so I am going to look forward to August 5th, Tu B Av. It is on a Wednesday this year. So much good stuff about that day to read here:

Interesting. Sounds like the perfect day for a Wedding. Thanks for that. Smile
Tu B’Av , the 15th Day of Av, is both an ancient and modern holiday. Originally a post-biblical day of joy, it served as a matchmaking day for unmarried women in the Second Temple period (before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.). Tu B’Av was almost unnoticed in the Jewish calendar for many centuries but it has been rejuvenated in recent decades, especially in the modern state of Israel. In its modern incarnation it is gradually becoming a Hebrew-Jewish Day of Love, slightly resembling Valentine’s Day in English-speaking countries.

There is no way to know exactly how early Tu B’Av began. The first mention of this date is in the Mishnah (compiled and edited in the end of the second century), where Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel is quoted saying:

There were no better (i.e. happier) days for the people of Israel than the Fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur, since on these days the daughters of Israel/Jerusalem go out dressed in white and dance in the vineyards. What were they saying: Young man, consider whom you choose (to be your wife)? (Ta’anit, Chapter 4)

The day of love for the Jewish people!  How ironic for the bride of Christ to be taken then, while corporate Israel is left behind!

Not a major Feast day, but one cherished by Israel.  Wouldn't be just like God to prick their hearts for messiah to reveal himself as the bridegroom.  Especially embracing the Gentiles!  Highlighting the Bride!

Would no doubt speak to many hearts!

I really like the idea of the church being born at the beginning of the wheat harvest and raptured at the end of the wheat harvest.

Blue - the wheat harvest begins 3rd month in Israel (May/June 2020); the wheat harvest ends 4th month (Jun / Jul 2020) - first Figs begins.

Late summer heat - AV 5th month (Jul / Aug 2020) - Grape harvest begins.

The story of Ruth laying at the feet of Boaz is at the end of the Wheat Harvest  (wheat represents the church). Wheat is threshed — whereas Barley is winnowed first

Just food for thought B-) soon! :prayer-hands:
