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.

This is the 6th day of the 4th week of 7 weeks, and

today is the 27th day of the counting of the 50 days from

the Waving of the Omer on the morrow after the Sabbath.
Leviticus 23:15-16
(15)  And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
(16)  Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
There is a new page under the "Zadokite Calendar" tab where
the daily verses of counting the 50 days to Shavuot can be accessed
for each week as each of the 7 weeks are completed.
The next Holy Day is:
The Feast of Weeks / Shavuot

~  New Items - Featuring 2 books by Watchman Nee!  ~
Have you ever wondered if our soul is the same as our spirit? 
Are the words spirit and soul interchangeable for the same thing in a Believer?

These two little books by Watchman Nee are immensely powerful and insightful
in helping Believers discover meaningful, tangible answers for
our very human, inner struggles of the "old man" with the "new man",
in soul and spirit, as Yah's Holy Spirit works in us and through us by the power of faith.
Watchman Nee:  Nee Shu-tsu was born in 1903 into a Christian family in Foochow, China. At the age of 17, after a considerable struggle, he found salvation, testifying “From the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.” Nee was exceptionally intelligent and devoted to studying Yah's word, receiving great revelations and strength from the Holy Spirit through his sufferings, and writing extensively about soul and spirit. He was imprisoned in China for his faith in 1952, and died while in confinement on May 30, 1972. The Latent Power of the Soul (1933) and The Release of the Spirit (1965) are two of his greatest accomplishments!

These 2 great classics by Watchman Nee are available separately or together in
The Watchman Nee Bundle - find out more about them in BOOKS

Rotation of the Priestly Courses

In King David’s work of preparation for the first Temple, 24 chief priests were organized into courses by lot for governing priestly responsibilities in the Temple that would be built by Solomon.  These courses were part of a greater listing of divisions that are spelled out in 1 Chronicles chapters 24-26.  The Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q319 - 4Q330 contain some detailed records of these courses as named in 1 Chronicles 24:7-18.  It is accepted by many that the Zadok priests functioned in Qumran accordingly in these courses as they carried out the Mishmarot, guarding and preserving Yah's Word. 
We've previously studied these scrolls of the Mishmarot, and this year has required us to make a complete re-examination of their relevancy in the overall Zadokite calendar picture.   Read on to see what we've discerned about the Mishmarot of the Dead Sea Scrolls:       Click HERE for the full article

It is rather fascinating to us that the most substantial information regarding the ancient calendar of the Holy Bible is primarily recorded in two books that are not a part of the Holy Bible. There are good reasons for their absence from the canon of today’s Scriptures, and yet it should be noted that these books had a prominent place in the DSS.  They contain an indispensable wealth of information regarding the cosmology (and the calendar) that was understood by the people of the Bible from the time of creation.
