Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
                 and few there be that find it.  Matthew 7:14

... a Journey, a Way of Life

Returning to the Garden is an expression of heart and mind,
a spiritual pursuit in a physical existence,
a journey, a way of life.

We invite you to join us as we find the narrow way together,
abiding in Him and listening to His Divine Whisper,
returning to the garden.
Our new sister website at sabbathcalendar.org which is entirely devoted to the Zadokite calendar.

THE CALENDAR EVENT
hosted by Luke Abaffy of The Life Podcast
Sunday, January 19 @ 6:00 pm EST
We were invited by Luke Abaffy to join him with 3 other distinguished teachers for a friendly discussion about the most popular calendar systems being used today by Messianic Believers:

  • Bill Bishop, Returning to the Garden - Zadok priestly calendar
  • Steve Moutria, Torah Family - New Moon Conjunction method
  • Arthur Bailey, Arthur Bailey Ministries - New Moon Sighting method
  • Joseph Good, Hatikva Ministries - Hillel II calendar

What a refreshing experience it was to sit with these other men of Yah and to be engaged in a mutually educational, respectful dialogue.  We spent an evening and a day together, beginning as strangers and departing as brothers - with each of us knowing in a greater way that despite our calendar differences, we have a lot more in common to bring us together because of our love for the Messiah and His Love for us!  Be sure to see it on Luke's Youtube channel - @TheLife_Podcast.

When Did Y'shua Consider a Day to Begin?

The fundamental understanding of "when the Biblical day begins" continues to be a lively topic of discussion among brethren.  Many people have very definite conclusions about how a "Day" is defined in Scripture while others continue to question and investigate various opinions.  So what might our Messiah have to say about it?
Does our King and High Priest offer a clear solution to this ongoing debate?

A dear brother with a keen eye pointed something out to us as he was reading in the Gospel of Luke.

New Year
(Equinoxes, Weekday 4, Intercalation)

In this 6-page article, we take another comprehensive look at how the "Beginning of Months" is determined on the Zadokite Sabbath Calendar.  We lay out the what, how and why of the necessary criteria which we have gleaned from the Dead Sea Scrolls to keep this ancient priestly calendar in its pure and unadulterated form - simple, yet amazingly profound!

Sun, Moon, Stars & Priests
How Do They Relate to Yah's Calendar Work?


This 12-page article delves into the material of "New Year" a little more deeply.  We address what we see as some misconceptions surrounding the basic criteria as laid out in the scrolls.   We are seeing attempts to "correct" or adjust the calendar with methods that are (in our opinion) based on faulty assumptions.  These "fixes" introduce alterations that cause unfounded divergences from the timeless perfection of this ancient calendar.  Yah created time with an aspect of Divine Patterning that is absolutely unbroken and perpetual within the schematic framework of the Zadokite Sabbath Calendar just as it is.
