"The holiday was instituted in the Second Temple period to mark the beginning of the grape harvest, which ended on Yom Kippur."
This is an interesting statement because the "Second Temple period" included Jesus' day! Also interesting is that "The holiday" was instituted to "mark the beginning of the grape harvest" - which I believe is when the Lord turns His attention back to Israel after He takes His *ready bride* (wheat harvest) out of the world.
"Soon-to-be brides danced in Shilo, a community in Samaria, which was the first capital of Israel. In modern times, since Jews have been able to return to Samaria, Jews have returned to the vineyards of the Jewish community of Shilo and dance in the vineyards serenaded by song." {Underscore emphasis is mine.}
Below is a scripture of importance (to the quoted text above) as it relates to the Bridegroom (Shiloh, Jesus/Yeshua, the Lion of the tribe of Judah) coming for His bride (the church) ...
{Gen 49:10 KJV} The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
This verse's mention of Shiloh (a reference to Jesus/Yeshua) is also the name of the ancient capital city of Samaria of the northern -lost- 10 tribes of Israel and is prophesying the King/Bridegroom coming for His bride (the *ready* church, see Mat 25).
It's certainly feasible, and something worth while to ponder on. This year, Tu B'Av is August 18th @ sunset through August 19th @ sunset (some believe it's Aug 19-20). And NO, I'm not date setting, I'm just studying to show myself approved and being watchful. I don't know *when* the rapture/resurrection of the saints will be but I'm hoping it'll be sooner than later!
I'll add more if I find more, or start yet another article! Here are links to other articles I've done about this fascinating subject ...
