"To Marilyn Agee re:
Lag B'Omer and Ascension Day"
Marilyn,
If Lag B'Omer is the only day that marriages were allowed during
the Omer count (5/9-5/10), and the church
is known as the bride, how could Jesus come for the church on
Ascension Day 5/17 when marriages weren't
traditionally allowed? Just curious about your thoughts. The
ones watching for the rapture are also likened to
wise virgins, again supporting that the coming to get us is
related to the Jewish wedding tradition.
