Tu B'Av: Perfect Rapture day? It's connected to Yom Kipper, the perfect 2nd Coming day

I started looking at weeks instead of days, months, and years, and I was amazed at what the Holy Spirit might be showing me. Weeks make perfect sense -- it is the number of Sabbaths which was used for counting to Pentecost in Leviticus 23:15.

From June 7, 1967 (recapture of Old Jerusalem), to Tu B'Av on Aug. 5, 2009 (full moon and penumbral lunar eclipse over Israel minutes into Aug. 6, EDT), is exactly 2200 weeks, or 154,000 days (144,000 + 10,000 or 153,000 + 1,000 days).
>From Aug. 5, 2009, to Yom Kippur 5776, or Sept. 23, 2015, is exactly 320 weeks.
From June 7, 1967 to Sept. 23, 2015 is 2520 weeks, or 49 prophetic years.

Now, subtracting 7 prophetic years from Sept. 23, 2015, we land on Oct. 29, 2008, the day of Obama's 30-minute special, and a day some believe was the beginning of the Daniel's 70th Week. From Oct. 29, 2008 (a new moon day) to Aug. 5, 2009 (a full moon and lunar eclipse day) is exactly 40 weeks, or 280 days, the exact average length of childbirth. Maybe the Church will be ready to go home on Tu B'Av 2009, which perfectly fits the Rapture in several ways and has something in common with Yom Kippur (See "About Tu B'Av" below). It even falls this year on a day when a shallow penumbral lunar eclipse happens over Israel but won't be visible to the naked eye. This eclipse is the third in a row (lunar/solar/lunar) and follows the one on July 22nd, which was the longest total solar eclipse until 2132. It is also 70 inclusive days after this year's fixed Pentecost date.

Adding 40 weeks to Yom Kippur 5776, or Sept. 23, 2015, we land on June 29, 2016. This is the day after the 49th anniversary (solar) of the annexing of Old Jerusalem on June 28, 1967. 49 years = Jubilee.

From Oct. 29, 2008 to Sept. 23, 2015 is exactly 360 weeks. (360 days = 1 prophetic year)
>From Aug. 5, 2009 to June 29, 2016 is exactly 360 weeks.
From Oct. 29, 2008 to June 29, 2016 is exactly 400 weeks (40 x 10 weeks) or 2800 days.

Finally, adding another 15 weeks, we arrive at Yom Kippur 5777, or Oct. 12, 2016. Some expect this to be the date of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I think it could be either this day, or if the days are shortened, Yom Kippur 5776, or Sept. 23, 2015.

Looking at the mid-point of the tribulation, from Aug. 5, 2009 to Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013, is 1335 inclusive days (Daniel 12:11). From the next day, April 1, 2013 (April Fools) to Yom Kippur 5777, or Oct. 12, 2016, is 1290 days. (Daniel 12:12)

From Oct. 18, 2009 to March 31, 2013 is 1260 days. Could the peace treaty be confirmed on Oct. 18, 2009? Obama said he would rest on the 73rd day in a May news conference. From Aug. 6, 2009 (the day after Tu B'Av), to Oct. 18, 2009, is 73 days.

Finally, from Aug. 5, 2009 to Oct 12, 2016 is 88.89 lunar cycles.

About Tu B'Av: [Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_B%27Av; http://www.aish.com/jl/m/48955491.html; http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/717175/jewish/Of-Holidays-and-Weddings.htm; http://www.hebrew4christians.net/Holidays/Summer_Holidays/Tu_B_Av/tu_b_av.html; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_B%27Av ]

This minor holiday was a popular holiday during the Second Temple. The holiday celebrated the wood-offering brought in the temple. Tu B'Av was a joyous holiday in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem: Unmarried girls would dress in simple white clothing (so that rich could not be distinguished from poor) and go out to sing and dance in the vineyards surrounding Jerusalem. The Talmud states that there were no holy days as happy for the Jews as Tu B'Av and Yom Kippur.

There is no greater joy than having one's sins forgiven -- on Yom Kippur for the sin of the Golden Calf and on Tu B'Av for the sin of the spies. In the Book of Judges, Tu B'Av is referred to as a holiday (Judges 21:19).

It is a reunion that follows a period of estrangement:
a) G‑d speak to Moses after a nearly forty year hiatus.
b) The daughters of Zelophehad are permitted to marry whomever they so wish.
c) The tribe of Benjamin is reunited with its brethren, ending a painful schism.
d) The sentries preserving the divide between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel were removed.
More than the sum of the parts is the message that these events teach
e) A precursor of the ultimate reunion: After the massacre at Betar, when it seemed that our estrangement from G‑d was finalized, G‑d revealed that the relationship is still alive and well. More than the sum of the parts is the message that these events teach: the 15th of Av is the day when we celebrate our rebound. This is why the maidens dance on the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. There are no more appropriate marriage-themed days on our calendar. And of the two, the 15th of Av is the more joyous one—for it symbolizes the ultimate marriage. Of all Jewish celebrations, none equal the joy of a wedding. Of all Jewish holidays, none equal the joy of the 15th of Av.

Every year until the fortieth year, on the eve of the Ninth of Av, Moses would command the people, "Go out and dig," and the people would leave the camp, dig graves, and sleep in them overnight. The following morning a messenger would proclaim, "Let the living separate from the dead!" Fifteen thousand would die that very night, but the survivors would return to the camp for another year. This occurred year after year, but in the fortieth year no one died. Since they thought they might have miscalculated the days, they slept in their graves an additional night. This went on for five nights until the fifteenth of Av, when they saw the full moon, realized that there calculations were correct, and rejoiced that no more of the first generation would die. They subsequently declared Tu B’Av a day of celebration. The “desert generation” had finally died off and the new generation was finally ready to enter the land!

# Tu B’Av marked the end of the year for planting.
Tu B’Av was instituted (in the Second Temple period) to mark the beginning of the grape harvest, which ended on Yom Kippur. It was also the time when planting of trees and crops was to end for the year (trees planted after this date are considered to take root after Rosh Hashanah, and therefore belong to the following year for the purposes of the Sabbatical Year).
 
# Tu B’Av marks the final Jewish Holiday of the year.
On the Jewish calendar, Tu B’Av occurs a week after Tishah B’Av - the culmination of the three weeks of sorrow - and traditionally marks the end of summer and all of the holidays of the Jewish year. Moreover, Tu B’Av acts as a sort of preface to the month of Elul when the cycle of holidays begins again with Rosh Hashanah. As such it marks the last celebration of the current Jewish year, and is a time of happiness and joy. Since it falls on the fifteenth of the month, Tu B’Av is a night of the full moon. Since the ninth of Av (Tishah B'Av) recalls the history of Jewish tragedy, the full moon of Av is said to represent the transformation of tragedy into joy.
 
# Tu B’Av marks a time of romance and love in modern Israel.
In modern day Israel it is customary to send a bouquet of red roses to the one you love on Tu B’Av. Romantic songs are played on the radio and parties are held in the evening throughout the country. In addition, Tu b'Av is a popular date for Jews to hold weddings (and they are not required to fast before the wedding on this day either).

# Tu B’Av prophetically pictures the Marriage of the Lamb of God.
Since it is the “last” festival of the Jewish year, prophetically Tu B’Av pictures our marriage to the Lamb of God (Seh Elohim), the LORD Yeshua our beloved Mashiach: Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure" - for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God" (Revelation 19:6-9). On a soon-coming day those who belong to the LORD and are faithful to follow His ways will be blessed with the unspeakable joy of consummating their relationship with Him. This is heaven itself - to be in the Presence of the LORD and to be His beloved. The analogy of a joyous Jewish marriage, with the sheva berachot (intimating the seven years of rapture before terrible the Day of the LORD at the end of the Great Tribulation), is our great and blessed hope (Titus 2:13).

Aug. 5, 2009 is a Wednesday, which is also the traditional day of the week for Jewish weddings.

Maranatha!
