Dave Pack/Restored Church of God: Even Though 6,000 Year's Ends Tuesday Night March 24, RCG Members Still Required To Give Money And Attend Church During "Stay-In-Place" Order

If you thought Dave and the Restored Church of God cannot get any whackier, then wait till you read this.  

From an RCG source

Meanwhile, the Great Packster is telling the RCG members that services are mandatory, so is tithing and offerings. No matter what local governments are saying about NOT traveling. And HQ also has this ‘encouraging message’ for the RCG members:

By now you have heard yesterday’s message that mentioned the Work of God is under threat of immediate shutdown.

Even though the governor of Ohio issued an order for its residents to "stay-in-place" Dave thinks he is above that order and is still requiring his employees and members to work and attend church. To do otherwise is letting Satan have his way.

While the Governor of Ohio has been praised for his leadership during the coronapocolypse, Dave thinks he knows more than he does, which is standard practice for COG leaders worldwide. 

Earlier this afternoon, the governor of Ohio announced a stay-in-place order, shutting down all non-essential businesses in the state beginning Monday. While this was expected, the blessing (and answered prayer!) is that religious organizations are still exempted. Think about this. If the Work was still headquartered in California—where a more strict stay-in-place order without a religious exemption was put in effect late last week—this would be a much different notification.

God’s Work today can continue!

Brethren, we do not know how much longer this religious exemption will apply. But without a doubt God’s hand is clearly on His Work and He has given us additional time to finish strong. Allow this to encourage you.

RCG members will soon be forced into giving money online. 

Given the current situation, the Business and Accounting Office will soon update you on more efficient ways to send your contributions to Headquarters. These steps are important in case there are disruptions to the mail service or further restrictions are enacted.

Dave wants to make it abundantly clear that he CANNOT be stopped, even though he says they risk being shut down. 

It is amazing the clarity that the passing of time will bring. Today, Mr. Pack took time to cover what may be the biggest reason yet that time is short. Unsurprisingly, it has much to do with the world collapsing around us. The Work of God—a Work that Christ promised cannot—CANNOT!—be stopped, is at risk of being shut down. Members in an increasing number of states in the U.S. are already being forced, under the threat of fines or jail time, to stay in their homes. They are being permitted to leave only for the barest essentials. Other parts of the world are today—right now—under even stricter circumstances as governments are shutting down public life.

In Mr. Pack’s message, he referenced the situation with the brethren in California. However, we have learned that brethren in several other locations are under increasing pressure. Shelter-in-place orders are now in force for Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Oregon and California. Some states have issued similar orders for specific counties. And this is just the United States!

Orders are also expected or have already been issued in Ontario, Canada, the United Kingdom, much of Europe, as well as the Philippines.  

With all the bad news going on around us, today’s message is actually one bringing encouragement. You will want to listen to it as soon as possible to see for yourself. While we cannot know the day or the hour (something that will be covered in the message) we are able to project what has to be ever so close. 

Well, I guess we had better bend over and kiss our asses goodbye because the 6,000 years of God's supposed plan is ending tomorrow night, Tuesday, March 24, 2020.   

One thing to consider, this Tuesday evening, going into Adar 29, is the exact day—the last day before the first day of the sacred year—we reach the 6,000-year plan of God. Could this be the “last day” we have all been looking forward to? Only time will tell but so many things line up for us to consider this possibility.

Or course, "Regardless" is in order here.  Like every other lying COG self-appointed prophet, Dave is a liar and does not know the time or the hour of Jesus' return.

Regardless brethren, we are to wait, and God tells us exactly how to do so. In Revelation 3:10, a people are lauded for keeping “the word of [Christ’s] patience.” The Greek word for patience there, as we know, is hupomone, or cheerful endurance. Notice this is not hupomeno, which means to “stay under” or “bear.” Christ meant what He said. We are to cheerfully endure as we await the return of Jesus Christ. This is despite those in the world (and our brethren in the splinters) who are bearing under all that is going on around us.

To close, stay encouraged! Why? To quote Mr. Pack, “Everything is right on track.”

The Headquarters Ministry

Just think how exciting it will soon be as Dave reports to us how Jesus Christ has returned to Wadsworth and is walking the grounds of the most beautiful campus ever built, where Jesus Christ tells Dave just how things will be as they prepare for His third coming.

Dave has it made. Once the world falls apart, he and his crew can run over to the Giant Eagle where they will willingly hand over all of their food and supplies because they know Jesus Christ is now living across the street, at least for a short while.  Who knows, the Big C may even walk across the street and shop for himself before all hell breaks loose.

It is certainly is an exciting time to be alive!
