"Could the rapture occur on Pentecost and Tu B'Av be the wedding?"

 

I've seen some truly outstanding presentations for looking at Pentecost as the day of the rapture.  I have wondered to myself if the actual wedding might fall 70 days later on Tu B'Av.  I'm not sure of the day count.  This year the gap between the two dates works out to 70 days if the dates are inclusive (I think).

Tu B'Av was considered by the Jews in ancient times as the most important holiday and celebrated with feasting and marriages.  In fact according to some Jewish traditions it symbolically represented the marriage of the Messiah.  In years past I wrote quite a lot about Tu B'Av and its significance so I won't belabor it now.
