3rd May 24-25: New Moon Sabbath June 1: 1st quarter Sabbath (49th Day - Feast Of Weeks) June 2: 50th Day June 8: Full Moon Sabbath June 15: 3rd quarter Sabbath   What I've found out is that true Pentecost must be calculated by the true sabbaths or lunar sabbaths as they were originally before Roman intervention. For 2009 the true date of Pentecost as given by the moon for "signs and seasons" is June 2nd. This is a Tuesday, which is a popular ancient Jewish "bride abduction" night.   The Shulamite woman of Song of Solomon is taken away for her wedding when:   THE SHULAMITE   8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.   9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, Gazing through the lattice.   10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.   11 For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone.   12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.   13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines [with] the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!   14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret [places] of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice [is] sweet, And your face [is] lovely."   According to search results on Google, in Israel:   rain ends: April/May flowers appear: spring turtledoves are present: spring to early summer fig trees produce green figs: first harvest in June grape vines bloom: early June - still spring   Cosensus: Spring! Spring ends and summer begins on the Summer Solstice - this year on June 21st.   Here are my thoughts:   1. All of the scriptural evidence points to a Spring rapture of the bride. 2. Perhaps it will happen on true Pentecost 3. If it doesn't happen on a feast day, perhaps it's because the feasts are observed by Jews and the church is mostly Gentile. 4. Current events are lined up with biblical prophecy and it would take divine intervention to keep it put off until next year. 5. God's word will not return to Him void, and God said it will be spring!   Let the Spirit and the Bride say "Come!"   -April
