"John 15:5-6 I am the VINE you are the branches. . .A possible clue for a summer rapture"


John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (does this refer to the tribulation, similar to the parable of the wheat and the tares where the angels gather the tares and cast them in to the fire?)

If Jesus refers to Himself as the VINE which I think is a grape vine (this quite significant in my opinion for HE is God), which produces SUMMER fruit and if we are the branches that produce the grapes which are harvested at the end of summer; then this seems to imply that we (THE GRAPES ) will be harvested in the summer. The grape harvest in Israel starts in June and goes through September.

Maybe?
