Restoring the Ancient Paths: A Nazarene Awakening What if the key to understanding prophecy, the early believers, and the end-time restoration has been hidden in plain sight for centuries? In Restoring the Ancient Paths , Nathan James takes readers on a journey through Scripture, history, and the Dead Sea Scrolls to uncover the ancient foundations of faith. Exploring the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Nazarenes, he makes the case that the Essenes and the earliest followers of Yahushua were not separate groups at all—but one prophetic movement that prepared the way for the Messiah. At the heart of this discovery lies the Zadok calendar , a simple, creation-based calendar that sheds light on God’s appointed times, the feasts, and the prophetic rhythm of redemption. Along the way, readers will encounter: The mystery of the Teacher of Righteousness and how it points to Yahushua. - Insights into John the Baptist, the Essenes, and the early Nazarene community. - The ongoing battle between man-made traditions and God’s design. - A call to return to the original calendar of creation and walk as the faithful remnant. More than history, this book is an invitation—a call to step onto the ancient path, embrace the restoration of all things, and prepare for the days ahead. If you long to understand Scripture more deeply and align your life with God’s appointed times, this book will open your eyes to truths long overlooked.
