Hello James Baber and Doves,Tu B'av is absolutely on my 'watch' list for the Rapture.Dr. Barry Awe has Tu B'Av as his date for the Rapture - about August 13 - based on his counting. (Which is his New Wine Festival date.) You wrote about August 18/19 for this date. I have my calendar marked with 'extended' dates....as I don't know which way of counting is correct or which calendar is correct.The next new moon will be on August 4 at 2:13 PM - Jerusalem. IF using the sliver of the new moon is the correct way to count - and IF the next month is the 9th - the 9th of Av would fall on about August 13/14.For this coming week:The Torah calendar has this date as July 21/22. This is the same day the Zadokite Priestly Calendar has Feast of New Wine. Rapture possibility on Tu B'Av = Feast of New Wine. Interesting.For the following week:The Dead Sea Scroll calendar has July 26/27 as 9 Av.Sigh. Too many calendars.Thank you for your letter.Your wife is in my prayers. May the Lord's mercy and grace fill her and sustain her. May His healing touch fall upon her. May the Lord provide for all of your needs as you care for your wife.And I pray that the Rapture is in our VERY near future - guaranteed healing for your dear wife. And all of us.![]()
