Marilyn Agee says "Either the time of firstripe grapes, Sivan 29 (Wednesday, July 6, 2005), when the spies went into the Promised Land, or 40 days later, Av 10 (Monday, August 15, 2005), when they returned with "ONE CLUSTER OF GRAPES", now seem to be likely dates for the Pre-Trib Rapture."

Personally, I would opt for one day earlier on August -- August 14, 2005 -- because that is Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, the most tragic day on the Jewish calendar.

Why? The rapture will no doubt be the most tragic day in all history for the Jewish people.  That is when Israel's only friends on earth will be removed and they will be left to themselves as subjects of Satan's wrath.  They will experience hell on earth.  The rapture will be the ultimate tragedy for Israel, far more than any other 9th of Av.

For two other reasons, August 14 is another significant day to me:

1.  It was my mother's birthday.
2.  It was VJ Day (victory over Japan) in 1945, so it was a day of great victory -- final victory in WW 2.  It may be the great and final victory for God's people.
