I wrote this article, believing that Tu B’Av would be the firstfruits Rapture of the Church. Obviously, it was not. But many of the signs pointing to Tu B’Av still seem to point to this date as very significant. I believe Tu B’Av was the final cry, the last warning, the day the grooms would go into the field looking for their future Brides. It wasn’t the day the wedding would take place, but it was the day that marriages were arranged, and future Brides were courted by their future husbands.
