"Only fools trust what David C. Pack says"


Ugh. Homework.

 

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God understands how to preoccupy the brethren, so instead of focusing on keeping leaven out of their minds, they can focus on him. He does this with non-stop updates and issuing crushing homework.

 

The Days of Unleavened Bread will end at sunset on Wednesday, April 12. So should the Pastor General's career when Jesus Christ does not establish the Kingdom to Israel on that very day, which is Abib 21 of the Hebrew calendar. Sadly, he will carry on without blushing because the trembling cowards at Headquarters will allow him to continue the blasphemous farce titled "The Greatest Untold Story!"

 

Part 434 is scheduled for today. Fingers crossed for this being the last one.

 

It is a mystery why this does not deter some from stuffing their green envelopes with more tree-buying funds. They should not feel good about where that money is going. David C. Pack betrayed a moment of honesty during his Greatest Hissy Fit.

 

Part 430 – March 18, 2023

@ 40:32 If all the people with the money…had sent it in, we could rock the planet...Or maybe pay off the buildings or whatever we’d do.

 

The tithes, offerings, and Common are going exactly where widows and retirees would hope. Where it is needed most. To preach the Gospel. But maybe for the Campus buildings. Campus trees. Campus gardens. Horse feed. Horse care. Shoveling horse manure.

 

Claimed with biblical authority, that money would be responsibly spent on “whatever we’d do.” Do not inquire Headquarters about where third tithe goes at the end of the fiscal year. It will only make you angry. Carl Houk would have to stare at his shoes if he told you in person.

 

 

David C. Pack is working so hard to fulfill prophecy it is embarrassing. He believes that communicating with the brethren for one week will somehow make “the days of his voice” of Revelation 10:7 come to pass. That is his private interpretation.

 

The problem is this has already been completed many times over.



Part 432 – April 1, 2023

@ 37:20 So, Revelation 10:7 appears to be fulfilled. Yesterday and today are “the days of my voice” before the Trumpet sounds.

 

April Fools!!!

 

Was David C. Pack lying, or was he just wrong? When it comes to speaking in God's Name, what difference does it make?

 

 

A string of Pathetic Updates is overwhelming the brethren of The Restored Church of God with page after page of homework used to distract them from David C. Pack's prophetic failures of April 1, 5, and 7. Include the impending and certain one to follow on April 12.

 

You could also count the Easter Sunday Great Tribulation No-Show, but since the Kingdom of Dave did not pop first, it was an unspoken fact among the enablers that the GT would be MIA this weekend.

 

The first update has been repackaged with a number. It is a reprint from the Right and Wrong article but is here to illustrate a point. There is no need to read it. Nor would I expect anyone to read the other two that follow. These are prime skipping materials, as some in RCG may also concur.

 

Skimming was invented for Pathetic Updates like these.

 

Those with stomachs strong enough to read will discover:

 

• The Kingdom of Dave will start on April 12 @ 12:05 PM ET.

• The 1335 must move a third time (since February).

• The First Kingdom is one year.

• The Great Tribulation is 30 days.

• The Last Great Day ends next year’s Days of Unleavened Bread.

 

As a fun exercise, scroll down the 1500 words on your phone, tablet, or computer screen to see how long all this is when the three updates are strung together.

Prophecy Update #1 – Friday, April 7, 2023

 

Brethren, here is a list of 10 verses to contemplate that were part of a much longer list of verses for your review. All the ministers here considered these verses in recent weeks. I drafted it March 27 with 40 more not included here, but the list would not gel in a final way that I could be sure of presenting it. It now has. They can only mean one thing. Questions will arise, but you should be able to readily see where this is going. Have fun with them! Think about them. Pray about them. When reading ask, when did world peace come? When were families fixed? When do many saints qualify to flee? When did people produce fruit? How long would God require before 35 billion people could walk in white? And was this even possible before the veil came off?

 

Isa. 61:2

Luke 4:19

Isa. 34:8

Hos. 3:3-5

Isa. 63:4

Jer. 23:12

Isa. 21:16

Jer. 51:46

Dan. 7:12 (time means year)

Luke 13:8

 

We are still on track. Despair over nothing! This list does not affect the 7 years and 1,000 years.

Prophecy Update #2 – Saturday, April 8, 2023

 

I may give a message Monday. We’ll give the time if I do. To have one message, I decided to send two or three emails first so everyone can be ready for what I could then cover more quickly without losing people. This is the second one.

 

After reading the last announcement, you probably understand that a year is involved. As you meditate on this year, you will realize how it answers many more questions than the few sent last night. Here are a few more thoughts:

 

• Contrast the Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3 “swords to plowshares and spears to pruninghooks” with Joel 3:10 and its context. The heathen are also told to awaken and “reverse” their implements. This clearly evidences a significant period of world peace—that perfectly fits one year.

 

• Carefully read Isaiah 2 and Micah 4. They describe a long period of time for the last days. Isaiah 2 shows the Day of the Lord follows a long first Kingdom in the last days.

 

• Joel 1:15-20 describes the Day of the Lord following a period where everything had enough time to be completely burned up everywhere! Recall Isaiah 5.

 

• II Peter 3:3-4 describes scoffers wondering why things are taking so long!

 

• James 5:7 describes God waiting to come through both the former and latter rain (at least the first month of it)! This requires a year.

 

• No wonder Jeremiah 8:20 records people wondering after the harvest is past and summer is ended why the Great Kingdom was taking so long.

 

• The King of the North (Man of Sin) enters Egypt before ever reaching Jerusalem.

 

• When was Israel going to learn to keep new moons correctly as God says in Amos they never did?

 

• A bit more complicated to read, but really fun to think about if you enjoy math, is this: Hosea 5:7 says a month will devour Israel. Daniel 12:11 says the sacrifices at what would be the end of this year occur at 1,290 days. How obvious that the great tribulation on Israel lasts 30 days until the 7-year Kingdom arrives. The remaining 1,260 days would be until they stop again for the same amount of time. The 45 days before this is when many saints will learn they do or do not escape—and that they better start praying about the weather and Sabbath flight. Exactly one month before Unleavened Bread ends next year is Easter morning—the Man of Sin will truly rise “in his season.” Obviously, the Sabbath immediately precedes Easter Sunday. The saints will have had 10.5 months to qualify to escape. Remember also this powerful point: An acceptable year loses one month for the great tribulation. But not if it is a 13-month year as the one just ahead.

 

• Carefully read all 114 verses of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. Now you know there is enough time for all these things to be carried out by God in waves. When God says in Deut. 30:19-20 that He will set life and death, blessing and cursing in front of Israel and all peoples, He means it! In His love, He gives 100 billion one full year to make their decision.

 

• It becomes obvious that those who go first are judges, counsellors and teachers for an ENTIRE YEAR! What an unbelievable honor for those who stayed the course for so long.

 

• The moad of Habakkuk 1:2-4 before God comes to “save” for one year (the world) is the whole 7 Days of Unleavened Bread. Lev. 23 calls it a moad 4 times and a chag once. For those watching, this is rapidly becoming a “REAL-TIME metric” we can see that proves we are in the right year for Christ to come—potentially exactly when the Days of Unleavened Bread end Wednesday in Jerusalem.

 

• Finally, of course now the 8th day of the Feast (Last Great Day) would follow next year’s Days of Unleavened Bread.

 

If I decide to speak, I will not send another message tomorrow because you have much to read and think about in this time when we are all to seriously “consider our ways.”

Prophecy Update #3 – Sunday, April 9, 2023

 

Here is the next announcement. It does not mean I won’t speak tomorrow. I will—at 1:30 PM our time. Many brethren at the Headquarters dance last night were buzzing about what they are reading and I was (happily) besieged with questions. What follows is a series of simple, bulleted points that will continue to be helpful before I speak:

 

• With the first Kingdom a year-long, no wonder so many babies (sucklings) and pregnant women are spoken of in the Olivet Prophecy per their flight!

 

• We now know how long our families prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions—a year!

 

• Think. Many of our children, grandchildren and, for some, great-grandchildren, now have 8 years(!!!) to be old enough for eternal life by the Millennium. Virtually all of mine will be adults by then, and one or two in their 30s. After this point, the wait for salvation will be long. (Of course, those who go first are still scheduled for eternal life right away.)

 

• The incomplete saints will grow up exactly as calves of the stall do for one year! This is an example of a more “oblique” proof of the first Kingdom being a year.

 

• All mankind will now keep all of the Holy Days for one cycle before the Day of the Lord—including the Last Great Day that it depicts! Also, several we thought would disappear will actually be kept forever per Lev. 23. It seems unlikely God will have the whole world keep all of them and then drop some of them as Ezek. 45:18-25 could appear to say. Note what God tells Israel in Hos. 12:9—also obliquely proving a one-year first Kingdom. (Obviously, the long day is still the Day of the Lord at the end of the year.)

 

• Related to this is Zech. 8:19. This describes fasts turned into feasts that would require a year for all to be kept and enjoyed in what four verses later calls “those days”—when people are seeking God in Jerusalem.

 

• Mal. 4:2 describes Christ arising with healing in His wings before many grow up for a year. Thus, mass healing permits all to enjoy perfect health for this year—hardly an action God would stress if only a few days for the first period applied.

 

• Somewhat related to this is that the start of the year is the natural time for all miscarried and aborted babies to return to the families who are being pieced back together in this period!

 

• The veil must stay on all those who don’t seek God, or He would have to destroy them at the Day of the Lord. They would be accountable for their sins—and there would be no 7-year Kingdom!

 

• Related, Satan is able to influence mankind, plant tares among the wheat, and deceive the whole world until the Jude 6 Great Day of Judgment (Day of the Lord).

 

• Matt. 19:28-30 describes what has to be a long period when the saints have lands and houses. Of course, this is now easily understood to be a year! These are the same houses they are to flee immediately when the great tribulation arrives.

 

• Isa. 11:4 describes the wicked can be slain within what we now know is the year. Remember, no one can hurt or destroy in “God’s Holy Mountain” there. Certain rebels/troublemakers will just not make it through the year.

 

• A final thought will help you see the first Kingdom is a year. All through His Plan it is evident that God works in months and years.

 

This is the 5th straight day I have communicated with you by voice or email. Tomorrow will be the 6th. There will be one more email on Tuesday, with things I cannot fit in tomorrow’s message. Please be sure you are keeping up with these and encouraging others to do the same! Also, please remind others about 1:30 PM tomorrow.

STOP SCROLLING HERE

 

Man, that is a lot of homework.

 

Through all that text, nowhere does David C. Pack explain why he has failed for 800 hours and 18 minutes across 2700 days and why he is qualified to lead.

 

I laughed out loud when I scrolled. It is at its most hysterical on a phone, especially when you consider Prophecy Update #4 to be released on Tuesday after Part 434 today.

 

One amusing moment was found at the end of Update #2.

 

Prophecy Update #2 – Saturday, April 8, 2023

If I decide to speak, I will not send another message tomorrow because you have much to read and think about in this time when we are all to seriously “consider our ways.”

Prophecy Update #3 – Sunday, April 9, 2023

Here is the next announcement.

 

Only fools trust what David C. Pack says.

 

It was at Update #3 that they realized Dave was on a five-day streak, and shooting for seven would win him a plastic ring, so they retroactively added #1 and #2 to the others. Dave lusts after Revelation 10:7 like it is wearing a short skirt and high heels. You tempting hussy, you.

 

Dave wants so badly to force God’s hand to make prophecy happen. He will be as successful as the fish that wished super hard for long enough that they “evolved” lungs and feet to crawl out of the primordial ocean and explore the dry land they could not see.

 

 

These long homework updates are a desperate “look over here” distraction from three recent failures. If Dave waves his left hand wildly enough, you might not realize his right hand is empty. None of those pages explain why April 1, 5, and 7 failed or even acknowledge that they did. If you mention Christmas or Purim, well, you are just being impatient and faithless because God is not working with you.

 

David C. Pack is drowning, and the hirelings at Headquarters will let him. He is drowning in Bible verses while he tries to drown the brethren. No matter what content is given today and tomorrow, Wednesday will fail. It is sure and certain.

 

If you want to be right about nothing happening, just say out loud that nothing will happen Wednesday and when IT occurs, what did occur is that you were proven right. You thought IT would happen, and IT did.

 

Now, we can ponder together all day long wondering just how right we are, as we suspicioned.

 

That is your homework.

  1. What an excellent contrast of the beautiful picture of Julie Andrews singing The hills are alive with the sound of music and joy and life vs dave's dead words of stagnant stink and rotten death and the grave. Oh that my people would choose life!

  2. Dave should be able to see the steam coming out of my ears from his stupid office 500 miles away. I am so angry the way this fraud has twisted Scripture and misrepresented God, Jesus, salvation, etc, that I am spitting nails.

    Dave, those 1260 are NOT days, they are the number of members left in your ever shrinking nuthouse, but why so many are still there is beyond me.

  3. PACK SAYS:
    Or maybe pay off the buildings or whatever we’d do.

    MY COMMENT:
    This is very telling in many ways. First, if Jesus is "no doubt" going to be here in a week or two, why even bother with the money thing in the first place, since money would be irrelevant in a matter of hours. Also, we can also understand that the "compound" was created with leveraged borrowed money that needs to be "paid off" . Thus they have a mortgage, and a surely dwindling money base

    Again, if Jesus is coming back in a matter of days, why worry about mortgage payments. It usually takes many months for a foreclosure process, so Pack would have plenty of time to pay, if he was just "off" about the second coming being a week or two different.

    Generally, churches in Ohio are exempt from property taxes. So that is not a concern for Pack. Nonetheless, Pack worrying about money and making such statements are an indicator that, at least economically, the walls are starting to close in on him.

  4. If someone invited you to a birthday party, and when you showed up, he told you that "we thought it was going to be today, but somehow our understanding was not complete", and then set a new date for the party and the same thing happened again and again until it became like the old joke about "Pete and Repeat are in a boat, Pete fell out, who was left?" at what point would you give up on the party???

    Right now, someone out there reading this is probably thinking, "I'm sure that God is using Mr. Pack! Just wait! You'll see!"

    Really?? How is God using him? Based on the track record, how can you be sure? Looks to me as if Dave has got his mind inside an ice cream cone! (Dunce cap on.)

    You don't like fraud? Are you kidding me? Please direct your moral indignation towards those who have made your life meaningless by faking the books of the bible by, i) plagiarizing boatloads of material from pagans, and ii) passing themselves off as the actual servants of the hypothetical man from Galilee.

  6. 1260 days? Let's not forget that to the Lord each day is as 1000 years, so it is really 1260 times 1000, which comes to 1,260,000, which is 1.26 mega-years in the metric system.

    So, Christians have a long time to wait. According to the bible.

    I'm not sure any of Pack's followers read this site. Perhaps a few former followers check in from time to time.

  8. Tonto, RCG is exempt from property tax only on "the work" buildings. Hall of Administration, Mail Building, Media Center, and Agriculture Building. All the rest of it is taxable. The homes. The barn. The grass. The lakes and gardens. They pay taxes on those. The mortgage on those buildings is hefty check each month, which is why Dave needs Common. RCG is not "doing the work" they paying for the Campus and keep the website coasting. A sign of financial trouble for RCG is when they start selling off the homes around the Campus. Note the renters do not cover the mortgages on all those homes, so they are all a slow, continuous bleed.

    They did that once this past summer. The next one, though, would be a very dire warning.

    Let's see how stuffed the green envelopes are this week. Dave may crow or bitch, depending upon the numbers.

  9. Someone said "economically the walls may be closing in" on dave. Remember that the last day of unleavened bread is when the walls of Jericho fell in and the town was destroyed. Maybe that's just wishful thinking from a non-profit.

  10. Marc:

    Thanks for the clarification on the RCG property tax situation. In reading Ohio law, I did notice that there was the caveat for "direct religious use" and indeed wondered about the homes and the rest of the playground at RCG HQ.
