... 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 seek a reverent, peaceful, loving relationship with our Creator Yahweh and the world around us.
We live according to a coherent understanding as it is revealed to us by His Holy Spirit
and our ongoing study of His Word.
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.

Removing the Cover - Lifting the Veil
The veiling (covering) has been in place, and the unveiling (uncovering – lifting of that veil) is about to occur. We are at the cusp of the intense prophetic revelation that we have awaited. The “unveiling” is upon us. The picture we see unfolding is profound and MUST be shared NOW. (free .pdf) Y'shua's Bride -
What Will He Find When He Comes for Her? (25) ... as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:25-27 (emphasis added) |
"That he might" - Is this merely wistful thinking? Or is Paul alluding to something of a greater magnitude? Is he saying that Y'shua will expect to acquire only a purified "church" as His Bride? How does the balance of Scripture and even the Hebraic Bridal Custom relate to this Ephesians passage?
Come and explore with us in our two-part article called "The Would-Be Bride." (part 1) (part 2)

Matthew chapter 13 is known for a series of parables taught from the mouth of Y'shua himself. When reading this chapter recently, a phrase jumped out at us in the verse that follows the Parable of the Sower -
"For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." Matthew 13:12 This resonated to us about the Parable of the Talents, bringing our attention to studying both parables together, and giving us a more insightful look at bearing Fruit of the Spirit. So here is a new 8-page article, "Comparing Parables," in a free .pdf download. |
Is it a problem if a High Holy Day, an Annual Sabbath, falls on a Saturday, the weekly Sabbath?
We see this happen fairly frequently. It's just how the days and their counts work out sometimes on various calendars.
When this happens, then the Holy Day will normally take precedence over the weekly Shabbat.
It's still a Sabbath, so it's really not a problem - right?
Is it okay for one type of Sabbath to blot out the other?
