Restored Church of God Letter: "This is HUGE—and leaves us with a very tight window that appears to be closing NOW. "



This is an e-mail we received yesterday. I don’t have to tell you what the next message from Great David will look like, considering the announcement regarding the travel ban that was made by President Trump.

This is the full-length text:

Dear brethren, 
The letter you received Monday stating that each day this week could “become more horrific than the one before” is proving true. No one could want the things we are seeing. But they are indicative of God’s soon intervention! 
Like so many of you around the world, troubles are hitting “close to home” here at Headquarters. Ohio’s governor held a press conference Monday. There are now four confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the state. All are in nearby counties. But we here at Headquarters remain anchored by Christ’s command to “fear not.” Reiterating what Mr. Pack mentioned in the last email, God’s people have no need to worry!

The world on the other hand is entering full-on panic mode. Whole nations and many, many institutions are shutting down almost completely over this virus, but God’s people should certainly not “shut down” in their faith. The German chancellor today warned that as many as 58 million—70%!—in her country could fall victim to the virus. This translates to 2 million dead in Germany alone! And news reports indicate most Americans will come in contact with this pestilence, which the World Health Organization today declared a pandemic!
 
All this bad news, compounded by other bad news around the globe, caused the Dow to fall 1,465 points today—the second-worst drop in history. Such volatility (it could again rally as it did yesterday) will almost certainly continue until markets close Friday. 
This very high-level look at the news alone proves time is short and confirms that, as much as we can possibly know, everything appears to be “go” for this week. The Big 12 must be BAD at Christ’s Return—and they are! But—BUT—they cannot be so bad that they conflict with the picture of ongoing eating, drinking, building, buying, selling and marrying described in Matthew 24 and Luke 17. Ask: How many would even go out in public were another week of horror added beyond this weekend? This is HUGE—and leaves us with a very tight window that appears to be closing NOW. In the remaining days, let’s more joyfully than ever hold to the closing words of the Bible: “Come, Lord Jesus” (Rev 22:20)! 
In Christ’s service,
The Headquarters Ministry

MY RESPONSE:

I think Pack forgets that even the Israelites in Egypt had to endure the first three plagues. Will NO ONE in Packs group not catch the Corona, and the same challenge to all other COG groups as well?

In the past, many years ago in the WCG , when people got sick from almost anything, or suffered a physical affliction, it was often asked or believed that "they must have been secretly sinning" or the like.

This is virtual superstition to the Nth degree. Even Jesus said that there is time and chance for accidents and the like, and the scriptures declare that it is appointed unto all men to die once.

None of us is exempt from the trials and tribulations of life. The rain falls on the righteous and sinner alike.

I think we need an interpreter. What is it that is a go this week and who are the BIG 12 that must be bad?

WHAT ABOUT THE TRUTH said...

The RCG looking for opportunity in a time of crisis.

For the ministry seems have their nickers in a little bit of a tangle. For they believe it is going to be H_U_G_E when the horror takes place next week.

Somebody sign me up to this loving Christisn organization, I am ready to join as long as I don't have to wear the official "nickers"!

DAVID PACK SAID THE FOLLOWING ABOUT HAROLD CAMPING IN MAY 2011, HMMMMM SHOULD WE JUST REPLACE ALL INSTANCES OF CAMPING WITH DAVE PACK AND READ IT LIKE IF HE IS TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF & RCG?


The rolling [Greatest Prophecy Untold Series] 2011 doomsday event is more than just a curiosity or an entertaining sideshow for onlookers’ amusement. It is an outrage foisted on great numbers of naive people who trusted that their leader understood the Bible—and that he could do
their research for them. This destroyed [RCG] lives.

The folly of Mr. Camping’s [Pack's] teachings, combined with his botched predictions, causes most to view his and his followers’ [RCG's] efforts as a joke.

Mr. Camping [Pack] taught that conditions would greatly worsen over the next five months. Of course, it cannot be denied that world conditions and trends are deteriorating—Mid-East turmoil, droughts, wildfires, floods, tornadoes and other weather upsets, rising food prices, rising fuel prices, divided governments, governments collapsing under impossible debt loads, riots in Europe, earthquakes and volcanoes increasing. What we saw Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows,” while not yet in full force, are at the world’s door.

Mr. Camping [Pack] and many other false teachers will use this as an opportunity to perpetuate a cycle of fear, holding
sway over their adherents. And when their prophecies fail, a worse condition arises....

NOW HERE IS DAVE PACKS WARNING ABOUT FALSE PROPHETS That 100% EFFECTIVELY APPLY TO HIM, LISTEN UP RCG:

How Will You Respond? The worst tragedy in all that happened is that Mr. Camping’s [Pack's] predictions seem to discredit God’s Word...

...After warning of “perilous times,” Paul described the only defense: “Continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of…the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (II Tim. 3:14-17).

To survive this age, you must follow Paul’s admonition. This means you must first learn what the “holy scriptures”
actually say about prophecy. And then you must apply God’s instruction to produce true “good works.” The Bible promises that those who are faithful and obedient will be protected through the worst calamities that could fall upon an unsuspecting world. While the last days are perilous, this is but the run-up period prior to the infinitely worse final three and a half years to follow before the good news of the true gospel is fulfilled in Christ’s Coming.

....

God’s instruction regarding prophets is “If you [ask] in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?” (Deut. 18:21). God’s answer? “When a prophet [Pack] speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken, but the prophet [Pack] has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of [Pack] him” (vs. 22). Men [Pack] can presume to speak for God. It happens every day. Therefore, you must know if God sent [Pack] a man—or if the man [Pack] sent himself.

The true prophet Ezekiel recorded, “Son of man [Ezekiel], prophesy against the prophets of Israel...and say you unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear you the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord God; woe unto the foolish prophets [Pack], that follow their own spirit [Pack], and have seen nothing [Pack]” (13:2-3).

Are you picking up on the obvious salivating tone of the letter? These people are in a false state of euphoria and glory right now, believing that the validation of their entire unnecessarily miserable lives is finally just around the corner! Ha ha ha, all ye sinners who have steadfastly refused to take a knee to "Mr." Pack! He laughs best who laughs last. (Actually, this is going to give us at Banned another opportunity to laugh at Dave!)

You will know with painful reality what the 'Big 12' means after Elijah gives 'the Signal' in the very near future, and you are left behind.

The Big 12 currently consists of the Universities of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Christian, Texas Tech, and West Virginia universities. Unfortunately for Dave, the world will not have the opportunity to find out how good or bad they are, as the Big 12 Championship Tournament was cancelled yesterday due to the outbreak.
