08/07/25 ~ I can hope, can't I?

Posted to my FB page on July 20, 2025 ;o}

 

I'm far more convinced of the 15th of Av - Aug 9th this year (which the Jews called Tu B'av but it should be YaH B'Av - Father's day), TU being the letters represented by 9 & 6 because they didn't want to use the letters YH of 10 & 5 (name of God) ... it's a day of weddings and second only to Yom Kippur say the old sages/rabbis ;o} Should that pass then on to watching the day of trumpeting blasts (Rosh Hashana / Yom Teruah) on Sep 23/24. Here's to hoping for SOONER than later!!!

14th/15th of Av (Tu/YaH B'Av), 5785

From Friday, August 8, 2025 (sundown)
Added 2595 days {1260 + (1290+45=1335, Daniel 12) = 2595}
Result: Wednesday, September 15, 2032

Tue/Wed, Sep 14/15, 2032
9th/10th of Tishrei - Yom Kippur, 5793

--

Daniel 12, and thus Revelation as well, is not 1260 x 2 (2520) ... it's not 1260 + 1290 (2550) ... it's 1260 + (1290+45=) 1335 (2595). Look at what I found above. I'm watching Tu/YaH B'Av with high hopes this year but should it pass then I'll consider Sep 23/24 ;o}

 

 

07/30/22 ~ YaH B'Av (not Tu B'Av) ...

Did you know that God set aside the 15th & 16th (Full Moon) of EVERY MONTH with His own name? QUOTE: "Note that the numbers 15 and 16 are treated specially, which if rendered as 10+5 or 10+6 would be a name of God, so they are normally written ט״ו (tet-vav, 9+6) and ט״ז (tet-zayin, 9+7)." Source https://www.hebcal.com/home/1824/numerical-values-of-hebrew-letters {The script in this page has highlighted the above (numbers 15 and 16) as though it's scripture, it is not, neither above nor below - otherwise you can mouse over actual scriptures to read them such as Daniel 5:25-28.}

It's NOT "Tu B'Av" ... it's YaH B'Av ... the rabbis changed it from it's original meaning. In this blog I am going to cover two topics relating to God's name, YaH ;o}

I have recently realized that what Israel (and the world) calls "Tu B'Av" is not Hebraic-Alefbet compliant. Although I've known that the rabbis changed the lettering from YH to TU many moons ago (and that's why no one recognizes the date's importance), it didn't dawn on me until very recently just how much of a revelation one gets when they just stick to the Hebrew without making changes to avoid using God's name.

Tu B'Av is incorrect - going by the actual Hebrew letters it should be Yud Hey (YH) or YaH B'Av (15th of Av). And then there's the month name "Av" or "Ab", which means Father ... need I say more? YaH B'Av ... Father's Day!

Perhaps this is my third sign (confirmation of what I fear is to come for Israel) from "Yah"!?

.:: FIRST SIGN ::.
YaH (YH) or YHV (יְהוָ), the short form of YHVH (יְהוָה), further shortened and spoken as YaH, written in plants on Israel's eastern wall directly across from the mount of Olives, or the "writing on the wall", to me this is a warning for Israel ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfojH846maE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLJjZeJ2ItY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1YPKRJ2YSY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcnq5N6Y9K0
This was intriguing for sure, and it's caused much excitement in Israel, but I saw it as a *WARNING*, like the "writing on the wall" in Daniel 5:25-28 since YaH wrote His name in short form on their very own eastern wall. In a reply to my comment on one of the videos above someone stated that the Hey in gematria is the number 5, which has a meaning of "divine grace" and since that final Hey is missing in YaH's name (YHVH) it could only mean that Israel is out of God's grace. Yet, the church should recognize this as a sign since we are under His grace and saved by grace through faith. As Romans 9-11 states, their loss has been our gain.

However, the "times of the Gentiles" is coming to a close and the rapture is very near (as most of us watchers believe).

My comment on another of the videos above was:
"This is a two-fold sign ... to the church the missing Hey means our redemption is nigh as the "age of grace" (hey) comes to an end; to Israel a warning as He signed the curse tablet recently found at Mt Ebal by the same name, YAH (not YHVH). Maranatha to our Bridegroom & King, Jesus/Yeshuah!"

And then, within a year of the above discovery, this happened ...

.:: SECOND SIGN ::.
The -six times- 'curse tablet' recently found in Israel ... that was signed by YaH, twice!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O4D9sjeblk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0NoVp7FEKk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYEU82vGl98
And yet again, Israel is excited ... but I am further concerned of the impending "Jacob's trouble" that she is pretty much blinded to.

And now this realization ...

.:: THIRD SIGN ::.
YaH's Father's Day - YaH B'Av (not Tu B'Av)
{As noted in this blog post.}

Yeshuah - Jesus - Salvation (Isaiah 12:2)  הִנֵּה אֵל יְשׁוּעָתִי אֶבְטַח וְלֹא אֶפְחָד כִּֽי־עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ יְהוָה וַֽיְהִי־לִי לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃
"Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’"

In 2016, I posted the following on my FB ...
"Tu B'Av sounds about right to me {for the Groom/Husband to come for His betrothed church/bride}! I have discovered that the "Tu" {9+6=15} part should actually be YH {10+5=15} (as in Yah; which is why it was changed to TU by the Jews, because they don't spell or pronounce the name of God..."

So, as I've said, I've known of the switch, but it really didn't sink in until just a week or so ago this year! YaH B'Av - heavenly Father's Day - and perhaps the day of our wedding to His Beautiful Son, Jesus/Yeshuah ;o}

Below are older blog posts that I've done on the subject of "Tu B'Av", which until this year (2022) that's what I called it along with everyone else. These are NOT in date order but rather in order of (reading) importance.

Please note, only the dates have changed in the "Tu B'Av" blog links below, which I will now start referring to as YaH B'Av ... that, this year, will be between August 11-14, more specifically on the Full Moon of Aug 11/12 (Israel time) up until the "third day" thereafter on Aug 14. I believe this timing mirrors Jesus' death on Passover (Nisan 14/15) through the "third day" to His resurrection (Nisan 16/17) as also reflected in Exodus 19 at Israel's betrothal.

And, since Israel isn't going by the sighting of the "new crescent moon" but rather their pre-calculated Hillel II calendar, their date for the 1st of Av is three days sooner than the sighting of the actual sliver of the "new moon" on July 30th (Israel time). That being said, their HebCal date of 17 Av might actually be 14/15 Av, which is the "third day" from the Full Moon of Aug 11/12.

The rest of the info is worth your time to read ...

07/14/21 ~ August 22, 2021 ?Rapture?

 

What's so special about ... August 22, 2021? Maybe nothin', maybe somethin'. How's about a *guess* at the rapture, date watchers!? Look ... IF 2021 is the year of the rapture then this math works wonders! All dates could vary +/- a day depending on one's location in the world. Click images to enlarge ;o}

SUNDAY, August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av
===> Shavuot/Pentecost according to Mikal Shabbat's sun, moon & stars data (look him up on Youtube)
===> Full Blue Moon, 3rd full moon in a season
===> Tu B'Av - if Israel should have started their year (Nisan)
-after- the spring equinox (in April, not March)
===> Four months from the true Passover (April 25/26, 2021) to the harvest (rapture, August 22, 2021?)

Jerusalem: Full Blue Moon on August 22, 2021 @ 3:01 PM their time ... the *same* time of day that Jesus died on that blessed Passover on April 6, 30 AD (also a full moon)! Coincidence? I think not! There's no such thing as the word *coincidence* in Hebrew, or so I hear.

August Full Moon Names: Sturgeon Moon, Green Corn Moon, Barley Moon, Fruit Moon, and Grain Moon (fish and loaves anyone? harvesting!)

TRUE Passover, Nisan 14 = SUNDAY, April 25, 2021 = 120 days
or "four months" to August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av!
What's the likelihood that these dates also line up!?
"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." -Jesus {John 4:35 KJV}
===> April 25/26 was the 1st of two SUPERMOONS
(May was the 2nd SUPERMOON)
===> April 25/26 was Israel's Sheni Pesach (2nd Passover)

The math: 2595 days of tribulation (NOT 2520, NOT 2550)
1260 + 1335 (1290+45) = 2595 days (tribulation period)
===> August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av
adding 2595 days equals
===> September 29, 2028 Erev (Eve of) Yom Kippur
Is September 29, 2028 the day we return to earth with the Bridegroom?
Yom Kippur (Tishri 10) may also be the day the Jubilee begins!

HebCal Sep 29/30, 2028 ... 

 

 

 

 

BTW, Tu B'Av is 2nd only to Yom Kippur in importance! But, so so so much more, do your homework on ... Tu B'Av (15th of Av), you can search this blog for more info, here's that link https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/search?q=Tu+B%27Av ;o}

Israel will celebrate Tu B'Av a month too early (July 24, instead of August 22)
Is August 22, 2021 the day of the rapture? <=== Watching!

08/07/16 ~ Seedtime & harvest ...

Noting the times, and the season in which we live today, I feel it's interesting to give some thought on how much Jesus {Yeshua} spoke about seeds and sowing, harvests and reaping. I won't quote all of the scriptures but I will link to them for you to peruse on your own. Jesus put forth much about sowing and reaping, if the topics were that important to Him they should likewise be that important to us!

I believe the Lord is coming back for His church (ready virgins, bride, see Mat 25) ... likely this Tu B'Av (15th of Av on the Hebrew/Jewish calendar), which, this year, falls from sunset to sunset (Jerusalem time) on August 18-19 ...OR... some Tu B'Av in the near future. I believe Jesus will appear in the clouds and send His angels to gather His elect from the four corners of the world ... the greatest end-of-summer harvest in HIS-story.

{Gen 8:22 KJV} While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

I'm not dogmatic about this timing (ex: this end-of-summer harvest, Tu B'Av) as being a resurrection of the saints event but it seems to make the most sense to me! Even so, this year or one future, Maranatha Lord!  

I'll leave it to you to deduce the time, and if we are near the great harvest of souls or not ;o} Thanks for reading! God bless you in Jesus, I pray we meet in the air soon ;o}

07/30/16 ~ Tu B'Av and ancient Hebrew

My attempt to decode the date of Tu B'Av using ancient Paleo- Picto- Hebrew:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURROUND (contain), (and) SECURE [the]

• TET (T) is the picture of a basket; meaning: surround, contain, mud
• VAV (U) is the picture of a tent peg (nail); meaning: add, secure, hook, "and"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAMILY, IN (the family, house, in [the])

• BET (B', Bet/Vet) is the picture of a tent; meaning: family, house, "in", "of"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FATHER['s] (strong, leader [in the] family, house)
{Av, Ab or Abba means Father - b/v are often interchangeable}

• ALEPH (A) is the picture of an ox head; meaning: strong, power, leader
• VET (V, Bet/Vet) is the picture of a tent; meaning: family, house, "in", "of"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Surround and secure the family (bride/church) in(to) the Father's house.

This could be a reference to the Father giving His Son the OK for His angels to gather the elect (SURROUND/CONTAIN) (and SECURE) and take them (FAMILY, elect, ready bride) IN (into) the FATHER's (FAMILY/HOUSE, heaven).

{Mat 24:31 KJV} And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

{Mar 13:27 KJV} And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

{Jhn 14:3 KJV} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. {Our blessed hope!}

More on Tu B'Av ...
{T=TET=9, U=Vav=6; 9+6=15; 15th B' (of) Av (month name)}
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/tubav.html

"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 ...

07/09/16 ~ Tu B'Av (August 18, 2016) ...

I was sure that Shavuot/Pentecost was the day of the potential resurrection of the church/bride, and it's still very possible for a future year. However, I've found there is yet another mysterious day of the Jewish/Hebrew calendar called Tu B'av (or Tu B'ab) that is extremely significant regarding a potential *wedding*. I have dated this for 2016 in the title but it can apply to any future Tu B'Av as well (up until we are taken out of this world). Here's what I found out so far ... 

August 18, 2016 (at sunset in Jerusalem)
Tu B’Ab = Tu B'av {b & v are interchangeable}

Tu B’Ab occurs on a full moon
Tu B’Ab is one of the more obscure and yet deeply profound holidays in the Jewish calendar. To emphasize this, our Sages point out that virtually every major holiday will pale away after the Mashiach arrives and Tu B’Ab will come to the forefront.
This festive day comes six days after Tisha B’Ab, the 9th of Ab
The theme of Tu B’Ab is love and the unity that love brings.
Tu B’Ab is the day of love between man and wife.
Tu B’Ab is the seventh day from the 9th of Ab
Tu B’Ab marks reunifications with the sons of Rachel who had become estranged from the community.
Tu B’Ab may be a minor festival, yet it has been blessed with several scintillating names that belie its relative insignificance. These names give us a clue as to the positive thrust of the day:
    The Holiday of the Grape Harvest - This is the day when the grape harvest begins in Israel.
    The Holiday of Unity - see that section.
    Unity after rivalry - Tu B’Ab marks reunifications with the sons of Rachel who had become estranged from the community.
    Day of courtship - They {virgins} danced and were courted because this was a day of purity; purity from sin and purity for marriage.
    The Festival of the Lord - a day on which all was done solely for the sake of Heaven.
    The “Day of the Breaking of the Hatchets” - see that section.
In earlier times Tu B’Ab was a festival dedicated to young Jewish men and women finding their mates.
Tu B’Ab marks the change from summer to the hot season:
    ... the second half of Ab, Elul and the first half of Tishri are the hot season.
Midrash Rabbah - Lamentations Prologue XXXIII
        - ... and the birth of Mashiach which was to occur on Tisha B’Ab {9th of Av}
        - It was the day on which the tribes were permitted to intermarry
        - It was the day when the tribe of Benjamin was allowed to re-enter the Community
XV. Comfort - Yeremyahu (Jeremiah) 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

07/08/16 ~ Blessings (D A N 12)

I am totally fascinated by *numbers* and how they may relate to us today. I'm not saying this is necessarily significant for this year (although it may well be), it could relate to any year in the near future, but for now I'll go with this year, 2016. First let's get to Daniel 12 ...

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/dan/12/1/s_862001
{Dan 12:1 KJV} And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

{Dan 12:2-4 KJV} And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

{Dan 12:5-6 KJV} Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.  And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?

.:: 1260 ::.
I've covered this before but to quickly reiterate:
    time                          =  360 (days or years)
    times                        =  720 (360x2 days or years)
    1/2 time (an half)     =  180 (days or years)
    TOTALs:                = 1260 (days or years

At this point, and for the dates below, I'm only concerned with days (not years). See my articles for my thoughts on how the scenario could play out in years ... 02/24/16 ~ MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN http://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2016/02/022416-mene-mene-tekel-upharsin.html ... and ... 04/10/16 ~ *The MATH* 3982 BC/AM to 2018 AD http://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2016/04/041016-math-3982-bcam-to-2018-ad.html

{Daniel 12 con't} ...
{Dan 12:7 KJV} And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.

{Dan 12:8-10 KJV} And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

.:: 1290 ::.
1260 + 30 = 1290

{Daniel 12 con't} ...
{Dan 12:11 KJV} And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

.:: 1335 ::.
1260 + 30 = 1290
AND
1290 + 45 = 1335
OR
1260 + 75 = 1335

{Daniel 12 con't} ...
{Dan 12:12-13 KJV} Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.  But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Now, I'll be working on DAYS (not years) as they *may* relate to 2016. If this doesn't happen to be the year the Lord comes for His church/bride (ready virgins) then I'll see what comes up for 2017 at a later date. If not sometime between now and Aug 18th then I'll perhaps look forward to the upcoming Feast of Trumpets in the fall.

Let me make myself perfectly CLEAR; I am NOT date-setting, I'm simply -watching- for potential dates, see my article: 11/06/15 ~ Porters & Watchmen ... http://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2015/11/110615-porters-watchmen.html

OK, now for some *math* with a few interesting dates that are coming up and what they may potentially mean. My first clue was an article by a friend of mine, Helena Lehman of the Pillars of Enoch ministry (I've linked to her article below) where she discovered that Tisha B'Av and Tu B'Av may be significant watch dates for the bride of Christ. Tisha B'Av is the dreaded 9th of Av and not a *good* day for the Jews so I decided to check into Tu B'Av and see what's up there. Well, it happens to be another highly rated *wedding* day for Israel. I've found lots of links on that, I'll share those later. But for now I'm documenting the *math* I've come up with and what the significance of those dates arrived at by math might be for us waiting on the Lord.

So, probably none of that makes sense to you, right!? See my previous article dated today also for more (particularly for Tu B'Av). Sorry if I'm being a bit lazy but I've got more studying to do and this is just the *tip* of the proverbial iceberg!

07/08/16 ~ Tu B'Av - August 18, 2016

FYI for fellow *watchers*:

• Tish'a B'Av begins at sundown (from Jerusalem) on Sat, 13 August 2016.

• Tu B'Av begins at sundown (from Jerusalem) on Thu, 18 August 2016.

Here's Helena Lehman's article http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2016/07/could-tisha-bav-and-tu-bav-be-tied-to.html

Some interesting articles about the 9th of Av ... Av is Hebrew for Father (as well as Ab since the b & v are interchangeable) ... http://www.chabad.org/search/keyword_cdo/kid/158/jewish/Tisha-BAv-Fast.htm

And here are some articles on the 15th of Av ...
http://www.chabad.org/search/keyword_cdo/kid/1685/jewish/Av-15.htm
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/53680/jewish/15th-of-Av.htm
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/717175/jewish/Of-Holidays-and-Weddings.htm
"This is why the maidens dance on the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. There are no more appropriate marriage-themed days on our calendar. And of the two, the 15th of Av is the more joyous one—for it symbolizes the ultimate marriage."
"Of all Jewish celebrations, none equal the joy of a wedding. Of all Jewish holidays, none equal the joy of the 15th of Av."
... An even greater day than Yom Kippur!

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/53684/jewish/The-Dancing-Maidens-of-Jerusalem.htm
"Av 15 -- the day that represents the rebirth which follows the great fall of the Holy Temple's destruction on the 9th of Av -- celebrates the ultimate consummation of our marriage with the final redemption of Moshiach."

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Summer_Holidays/Tu_B_Av/tu_b_av.html
"Since Biblical times the Tu B'Av has been celebrated as a holiday of love and affection, and in modern Israel it is celebrated as a sort of Valentine's Day (though it is a much older holiday that St. Valentine's Day)."

From Hebrew4Christians page, this is an interesting statement ;o}
"Tu B'Av marked the end of the year for planting.

Tu B'Av was instituted (in the Second Temple period) to mark the beginning of the grape harvest, which ended on Yom Kippur. It was also the time when planting of trees and crops was to end for the year (trees planted after this date are considered to take root after Rosh Hashanah, and therefore belong to the following year for the purposes of the Sabbatical Year)." Notice it *marks* the beginning of the grape harvest, therefore it is logical to assume it concludes the WHEAT harvest!

It also states: "Tu B'Av marks the final Jewish Holiday of the year."

WOW, somebody (Hebrew4Christians) was on top of this LOL ...
"On the Jewish calendar, Tu B'Av occurs a week after Tishah B'Av - the culmination of the three weeks of sorrow - and traditionally marks the end of summer and all of the holidays of the Jewish year. Moreover, Tu B'Av acts as a sort of preface to the month of Elul when the cycle of holidays begins again with Rosh Hashanah. As such it marks the last celebration of the current Jewish year, a time of happiness and joy that prophetically heralds the "marriage supper of the Lamb" (see below)."

"Since it falls on the fifteenth of the month, Tu B'Av is a night of the full moon; and since the ninth of Av (Tishah B'Av) recalls the history of Jewish tragedy, the full moon of Av represents the transformation of darkness into light, sorrow into joy."

"Tu B'Av prophetically pictures the Marriage of the Lamb of God.

Since it is the "last" festival of the Jewish year, prophetically Tu B'Av pictures our marriage to the Lamb of God (Seh Elohim), the LORD Yeshua our beloved Mashiach: "

http://www.torahinmotion.org/discussions-and-blogs/tu-bav-happiest-day
An interesting statement from the TorahInMotion page ...
"Unfortunately, Tu B'Av has become a neglected holiday. While single girls dancing before single men might not please the religious and social sensibilities of many today, class divisions (especially in Israel) and Jew embarrassing Jew are not uncommon."

Perhaps they don't much observe it today because it's not theirs to observe? The same goes for Pentecost/Shavuot, they don't much celebrate it either. Maybe Shavuot marks the beginning our our betrothal and Tu B'Av marks the end? We can hope!

{of the resurrection of the church/bride}
OK, I'm *runnin'* with Tu B'Av LOL it seems the more likely date to me ;o}

Reading this one now ... http://www.betemunah.org/tubav.html
"Tu B’Ab is surely the festival which formed the basis for the Gentile celebration of Valentines day. Never the less, the two dates are rooted very differently. Tu B’Ab is focused on the love between Husband and wife, between Israel and HaShem. ..."

WOAH! ...
"Tu B’Ab is one of the more obscure and yet deeply profound holidays in the Jewish calendar. To emphasize this, our Sages point out that virtually every major holiday will pale away after the Mashiach arrives and Tu B’Ab will come to the forefront."

"Let’s begin to understand this special day by examining a major aspect of this day as noted in the Talmud:

Taanit 26b R. SIMEON B. GAMALIEL SAID: THERE NEVER WERE IN ISRAEL GREATER DAYS OF JOY THAN THE FIFTEENTH OF AB AND THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. ON THESE DAYS THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM USED TO WALK OUT IN WHITE GARMENTS WHICH THEY BORROWED IN ORDER NOT TO PUT TO SHAME ANY ONE WHO HAD NONE. ALL THESE GARMENTS REQUIRED RITUAL DIPPING. THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM CAME OUT AND DANCED IN THE VINEYARDS EXCLAIMING AT THE SAME TIME, YOUNG MAN, LIFT UP THINE EYES AND SEE WHAT THOU CHOOSEST FOR THYSELF. DO NOT SET THINE EYES ON BEAUTY BUT SET THINE EYES ON [GOOD] FAMILY. GRACE IS DECEITFUL, AND BEAUTY IS VAIN; BUT A WOMAN THAT FEARETH THE LORD, SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. AND IT FURTHER SAYS, GIVE HER OF THE FRUIT OF HER HANDS; AND LET HER WORKS PRAISE HER IN THE GATES."

{Pro 31:16 KJV} She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

{Pro 31:31 KJV} Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

OK so Av is the fifth month on the Hebrew/Jewish calendar (not the sixth that I had posted previously and deleted that comment). In looking up if there's anything significant that happened in the "fifth month" in the bible (KJV) I found an interesting reference that could apply to today, in particular the fifth and seventh months and seventy years (Israel will be 70 years old beginning in the fall of 2017) ...

This scripture, which mentions the fifth month is interesting ... https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/zec/7/3/s_918003
{Zec 7:3-6 KJV} [And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?  Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,  Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, [even] to me?  And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?

This also applies to the Israel of today, just think of all the sin and corruption she's taken on from her lovers ...
{Eze 11:12 KJV} And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that [are] round about you.

Back to the article at hand LOL and this is a WOW statement, *grapes* again, speaking of Israel/Judah I believe (perhaps after the seven year grapes of *wrath*) ...
"Although the Mishnah does not make a clear distinction between Tu B’Av and Yom Kippur, nonetheless, it goes without saying that these two days are significantly different, and allude to two different types of match or “choice”. In familiar terms, matches made on Yom Kippur are more inclined to the traditional “Charedi” standards, a match that is founded primarily on a similarity between the families and their social status, made mainly by the parents, while the young (sometimes very young) couple just has to confirm it at the final stages. Such matches are usually announced on the wedding invitation with the phrase, “the marriage of so-and-so with the girl of his age, so-and-so.” “A girl of his age” refers to his soulmate, who is suited to him and destined to him from Heaven, “Grapes of a vine with grapes of a vine.”"

And "by contrast" this is the Church who come to the Messiah *willingly* ...
"By contrast, the matches of Tu B’Av are a “modern match” (or even “secular”), the young couple find one another, with mutual attraction being a primary incentive for their relationship. This is an attraction that often results from the dissimilarity and difference between the two; “opposites attract”, as the saying goes. On the invitation of a couple such as this, the custom is to write, “So-and-so with his heart’s choice, so-and-so”."

Israel/Judah ...
"This difference is reflected in the Talmudic interpretation of the above mentioned Mishna.[7] The Talmud begins by explaining that with reference to Yom Kippurim, the festivities are clear, “Because it has forgiveness and excusing and it is the day on which the second set of Tablets was given”, this is the epitome of the relationship between the Almighty and the Jewish People, all our sins are excused and instead of the first set of Tablets, which were broken, we were presented with a second set. The emphasis in this case is not on our choice, so it is evident that matches made on this day are under the impression of “everything is in the hands of Heaven”[8] and “From God is a woman to a man”."

WOW, the Church LOL ...
"By contrast, the Talmud asks, “But what about Tu B’Av”? What is the reason here for the festivities? And it offers a number of good reasons why. Of these, we will mention just the first two, which are directly connected to matches and marriage.

The first reason is, “The day on which the tribes were permitted to intermarry”, since during the first generation after the Land of Israel had been conquered, every girl who had no brothers inherited an estate but could only marry someone from her own tribe. However, in the following generation tribal intermarriage was permitted with no limitations. Until then, marriage had been “dictated”, but from now onwards, anyone could marry whoever they chose."

Taanit 30b R. SIMEON B. GAMALIEL SAID: THERE NEVER WERE IN ISRAEL GREATER DAYS OF JOY THAN THE FIFTEENTH OF AB AND THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. {My comment: 15th of Av/Ab = the Church bride; Day of At-one-ment = Israel/Judah ... and in that order!}

Of course it doesn't make sense to Israel! "The commentary of Tosafot adds: “‘the day in which the tribes were permitted to marry one another’, this constitutes a Yom Tov (holiday)”. This seems very strange. Tu B’Ab is not one of our major holidays, certainly not of the likes of Yom HaKippurim!"

And on another train of thought, in wondering what the names of the moon are for the fifth moon (for Israel), which is the 8th month to us in the west:

Native American *names* of the August full moon ...
http://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-august-2016
"August Full Moon Names

Some Native American tribes called the August Moon the “Sturgeon Moon” because they knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this Full Moon. They also called August’s Moon the “Full Green Corn Moon.”

Different tribes had different Moon name preferences. Other examples for August are: “Wheat Cut Moon” (San Ildefonso, and San Juan), or “Moon When All Things Ripen” (Dakotah Sioux) or “Blueberry Moon” (Ojibway)."

Man, I've got so much more to read but I'm tired! This aught to get you fired up, and your motor rev'g ... that's a lot of research already! I hope you are inspired to continue to study Tu B'Av on your own. This year it will begin at sunset (full moon) on August 18, 2016. From this date I back-dated 1335, 1290, 1260 days to get the dates for my other article {also dated today}. Whether or not those days and dates have anything to do with Jesus coming for His bride I cannot (nor would I) say for sure. I can only say I am excited that it's *possible* and so I'll keep watching and looking up! I hope you do too ;o}

I may add more links to this article as I get to it and if I do I will add dates beside them so you can tell they're newer than the article date itself (in the title of the article). Any future links or comments will be below this line somewhere.
