Temple Recycling
Pastor General David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God began “The Greatest Story Never Told!” with Parts 1 and 2 on November 14, 2015, preaching about the Third Temple.
The Greatest Story Never Told! (Part 1) – November 14, 2015
@ 02:27 I am quite certain I have never given (maybe never will), but I have never given a sermon and a Bible study that is as important as this one. I wouldn’t say even no chance of more important. This will be a game-changer in many regards.
@ 03:15 The implications are gonna resonate and echo through the church until the things we talk about come to pass.
The first thirty parts of the Series are no longer available in RCG Member Services. So much for being important and resonating implications.
The Greatest Story Never Told! (Part 2) – November 14, 2015
@ 2:00:15 I see all kinds of things happening in the world that suggests to me that we’re getting close. The spirit world is angry. All kinds of things are happening. Awesome, powerful things are coming to pass behind the scenes.
@ 2:00:54 But I don’t care if it’s five years. Every time I learn more, I’ll wait ten years. I’ll wait a lifetime. The apostles did. How long it takes isn’t even relevant to me. I understand these verses, and I understand my role. And the work of God is booming. Almost beyond what we could have ever thought.
In 2015, The Restored Church of God was experiencing growth. I remember how exciting it felt to be at Headquarters where God was working. The Series killed that notion.
Working on the flagship The World to Come broadcast on worldwide television was a privilege. The Series killed that program. The final episode was released in December 2017.
Each Sabbath, during Announcements, they used to read a bulletin of updates and “statistics of the work," so brethren could feel good about where their tithes and offerings were going. The Series killed those numbers. RCG believes today’s paltry statistics are not worth mentioning anymore.
The Announcement Bulletin archives have been removed from Member Services. After all, reflecting on the faded glory of the past bears little fruit today.
The Restored Church of God became a Dave Pack Sermon Machine that adopted a book-eating business model. Instead of producing new content, they delete them. What is offered today is woefully outdated. They cannot be fixed because “understanding” changes from week to week.
David C. Pack and the enablers at Headquarters knowingly provide “inaccurate” doctrinal information to those interested in joining. Only after Prospective Members walk in the door do they realize what is publicly available is NOT what the church secretly teaches.
The “Bait and Switch” scam is illegal in the United States. It is also unethical, but RCG does it anyway. Is that how God’s True Church operates?
Monthly Brethren/Co-Worker Letters gave relevant updates about church operations, noteworthy statistics, and shared limited prophetic insights for donors outside the organization. After the Series rolled into the hundreds, those became sporadic, thin, worthless summaries of current news events.
The most recent Brethren/Co-Worker Letter was in May 2023, signaling that outside donations flowing into The Restored Church of God are insufficient to justify the effort of keeping those people informed. Quarters in envelopes do not keep the Campus afloat.
The Series killed The World to Come program.
The Series killed “news of the work” statistics in the Announcement Bulletins.
The Series killed the Brethren/Co-Worker letters.
The Series killed RCG’s literature.
The Series killed the brethren’s excitement, enthusiasm, and hope.
The Series killed RCG’s growth.
The Series killed the belief God inspires David C. Pack.
That Sabbath in November 2015 occupied 3 hours and 59 minutes about the Third Temple being built.
The Greatest Story Never Told! (Part 2) – November 14, 2015
@ 2:01:11 We're waiting for Christ to come to His Temple in some unknown month to build two temples from the foundation up.
Eight years later, during “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 491)” on January 20, 2024, David C. Pack is still recycling his unstable understanding of the Temple.
Part 491 – January 20, 2024
@ 00:53 Last week, I knew we were still missing something or things, but what? …I was uncomfortable with certain things...a subject popped into view that was enormous.
@ 08:15 How is that Temple begun?
@ 17:37 Elijah is raised to restore all things. Would restore all things include a temple?
As Elijah and The Branch, David C. Pack will help build the Temple of God before April 9, 2024 (Abib 1).
He still does not know about the total solar eclipse in Wadsworth at 3:15 PM on April 8. This is the best-kept secret on the Third Floor of the Hall of Administration at Headquarters.
Dave is going to be pissed when he discovers everyone around him knew, but nobody told him. I am certain Brad is already scheming how to spin that one. Much yelling will be had by all.
@ 32:20 Four Carpenters. What’s that?
@ 32:29 Now, this would be (potentially) Christ and Elijah and the two men on the horses. Potentially. But it could just be four carpenters. And these Four Carpenters come, and they blow the horns outta Jerusalem. So, I’m pretty sure I know who the four are.
For being so tall, David C. Pack is a sad little man. He is so desperate to be right about anything. He says “potentially,” but in the next breath, he is “pretty sure.”
David C. Pack likes to present the illusion of understanding without substance to back up his words. He does not know. He cannot know. That never stops him from speculating and presuming.
As of Part 491, David C. Pack will help build and later measure the Temple of God before this coming Passover. He is blind to the irony that he assumes the same attitude as the Jewish Zionists he is so quick to criticize.
@ 50:20 Nobody knows this, brethren. Zionists have a certain perverted idea about it that they can do it and be the centerpiece. You know, these Hassidic Jews who don’t even know how to, you know, trim their beard [drink] are gonna erect the Temple of the Lord.
Hassidic Jews have doctrinal beard issues, while ladies in RCG cannot wear make-up and must ensure their skirts cover their knees while seated. What is the difference, Dave? At least instructions about beards are mentioned in the Bible.
@ 52:16 Now, I’m actually gonna show you…the Bible tells you explicitly the day that this Temple is built before you get to Passover. I’ma tell you the day it has to be done. And you all have calendars… “Whoa. It’s done by that date?” The Bible is most explicit. And it’s before Passover because of things have to be done once it's built before the Father can get here ready for sacrifices.
@ 1:18:13 So, let me explain that this Passover becomes a powerful juncture.
@ 1:36:08 And then, [Ezekiel 45] verse 18 tells you something extraordinary. So, let’s read it very slowly. “Thus says the Lord God, in the first month in the first day of the month,” this would be Abib 1. April 8th. Our date April 9th. “You shall take a young bullock without blemish and cleanse the sanctuary.”
@ 1:36:59 Why? Because the sanctuary is finished by Abib 1.
@ 1:38:38 But we now have a target date. So, lemme just explain. We’re looking at about, oh, 80-some days. I guess it would be 80 days (maybe). Something like that. 78 days, whatever’s left from now till Abib 1. And it’s not happening tonight.
@ 1:39:06 But now you have a hard, fast deadline. It’s a line in the sand. ‘Cause it can’t go to next year.
@ 1:39:29 Now, I’m not saying it’s next Sabbath. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t.
@ 1:40:12 I actually figured it out [chuckles] last week. I’m amazed that I did. Buh did I, you know, did I get this right before I saw the build? And then, here comes this last thing we all had to understand.
@ 1:45:40 But, this is vastly more than anybody else has ever understood. I’m honored to just be able to finally see things coming together.
The two-week gap between parts did not bode well for that last comment. The first five minutes of Part 492 last night blew this up:
@ 1:10:14 Years start on the middle of a month at Passover. That’s a big key.
It cannot be an authentic Restored Church of Another god Sabbath Service without David C. Pack focusing on himself.
@ 56:15 But this is a temple there in Zechariah 6 that it says the Branch builds. You might say Elijah builds. Or Joshua. You can pick your name there.
When he says, “pick YOUR name there,” he means, “pick MY name there.”
The names for David C. Pack in the Bible are legion. The brethren of The Restored Church of Another god are free to interchange how they identify the false christ sitting before them preaching about himself.
@ 1:01:47 It’s interesting that in Ezekiel 2, God tells Elijah, “You’re only sent to Israel.” And He says all Israel, the whole house. All of ‘em.
Is it an observation or accusation to point out when David C. Pack lies?
Elijah is not mentioned in the entire book of Ezekiel. Elijah is not mentioned in Daniel, Zechariah, or Revelation despite what David C. Pack repeats. Elijah is only there because a confused, corrupted mind imagines him there.
This is not news to those with eSword. Elijah is mentioned in the Old Testament in 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles 21, Ezra 10, and Malachi 4. All other instances are presumptive fabrications of David C. Pack.
In the New Testament, Elijah’s name is spelled Elias. He is referenced in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans 11:2, and James 5:17. All other instances are arrogant fabrications of David C. Pack.
No amount of third-person perspective can hide when the Pastor General refers to himself. Adding brackets tells the real story.
@ 1:02:30 Wow. And before all that, somebody [me] explains the Mysteries so that it's made plain, and we know we're real close. That's what you'd know. You hafta know you're real close. Well, again, I've said this before. I didn't think I could ever say it again (never mind at this magnitude). Boy, where were we if we didn't understand this?
@ 1:14:58 There is a Series that is completed, and the Mystery of God ends. The you’re he’s [me] about to sound. For what? The First Kingdom. Then, he [me] eats this book, and he [me] prophesies.
@ 1:15:27 And then a year later, he [me] measures a temple that’s here before the 7-Year Kingdom. Wow, it’s easy. You just read it. Now it's A-B-C-D-E.
The audience's false prophet senses were tingling, and Dave had to pump the brakes. He recycles his “I’m telling, not foretelling” excuse.
@ 1:15:58 So, I’m not prophesying. I want to clear that up. I’m absolutely not prophesying. I know in part, and I'm teaching in part. I am teaching. I’m an apostle. I am no more Elijah now than you are in the God Family with me. Or me with you. I am teaching you. I’m a messenger.
Fine. David C. Pack is only a false teacher. Is that any better?
Notice Dave is NOT Elijah now. This creates a logic hole he cannot crawl out of as he keeps talking.
@ 1:16:18 I’m a messenger.
Dave has to slaughter comprehension of the English language to get around prophesying.
An apostle is “one sent,” but a messenger is given a message by someone else to deliver to a third party. If David C. Pack is just a messenger sent to provide the brethren with a message, who sent him?
If he tries to say God sent him, a person given a message by God to tell others is called a prophet. Prophets prophesy.
@ 1:16:20 Eventually, that messenger [me] goes on to the next step because we’re all called messengers for all eternity to the generations that will keep coming. Many people think it means angels. It doesn’t.
Not even David C. Pack believes his own words in 3…2…1…
@ 1:39:19 Can’t go to next year. The Series is over. Elijah’s said to make it plain. And then, Christ comes in a tiny, tiny micron.
How can Elijah make anything plain when he does not yet exist? David C. Pack cannot remember what he said twenty-three minutes ago.
@ 1:16:10 I am no more Elijah now than…
The logic puzzle bear trap snaps shut. The only escape is amputation.
It is often said that liars lie so much they have difficulty remembering what they lied about. Seeing David C. Pack as a habitual liar is either an accusation or an observation.
David C. Pack does not comprehend the implications of the false words that fall from his lips.
@ 57:06 Wow, look how easy it is to read now. Ready? “Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me." Now, it's all it says. He’s gonna prepare the way before me. Well, we know who that messenger is. That’s Elijah.
David C. Pack accidentally invalidated multiple prophetic ideas he loves to repeat by denying he is Elijah.
1) If he is not Elijah now, he cannot be the messenger in Malachi. If he is not the messenger in Malachi, he cannot be preparing the way now.
2) Since he ties this to Habakkuk 2, he also cannot be the one “making it plain” since that is also Elijah. The one making it plain ends the Mystery of God, but because he is not Elijah, he cannot make it plain or end the Mystery of God.
3) Elijah ends the Mystery of God as the Seventh Angel of Revelation. But David C. Pack just denied being Elijah now. Therefore, he cannot be the Seventh Angel, either.
Taking his words at face value, the logic problem Dave created for himself tumbles far and wide. Does anyone in The Restored Church of God pay attention to what their Pastor General says?
The cowardly hireling enablers at Headquarters refuse to hold the man accountable. So, he keeps blabbering without consequence.
David C. Pack admitting he is not Elijah now raises another question: What is he a messenger of, and who sent him?
The truest answer: He is a messenger about himself sent by himself. Just as the Bible warns.
The Series began in 2015 with David C. Pack preaching about the imminent arrival of God's Temple. In 2024, he is still recycling his understanding but slapping a new date on the label.
He was proven wrong then and is proving himself wrong now. That is a concept that will continue to be recycled.

When people morally decline, there comes an inflection point where they fall off a moral cliff. Dave reached that point with his Greatest story never told series. From that point on, he has deliberately been destroying his own church, or more precisely, his followers. The same happened in the angelic realm when Satan's followers started trashing planet search. No, the dinosaurs weren't destroyed by a comet.
ReplyDelete.....with madness........and confusion of mind......Deut 28:28
ReplyDeleteNumber of apostles since the apostles… 0
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe if the settle for a DOUBLEWIDE trailer for the new temple, it might be completed in time!
ReplyDeleteYou want some prophesying? I'll prophesy and it has more cred than all those Millerite declarations. And is totally based on watching trends. No inspiration claimed. Gary, delete this if necessary.
ReplyDeleteIn the USA, White people are terrified. Soon they will be in the minority. People of color can soon out vote them. White people can't deal with it. Obama was a warning signal. Democracy has become something evil under those circumstances. That is why all the arm-waving about Trump destroying democracy has no effect on the MAGA base. They want democracy to go away because that is the power of the majority and White people won't be the majority any more. Terrified White people don't want gun control. They want guns to be proliferated among White people so when the civil war starts, they can blow the hell out of people of color. White people want a president who will push Hispanics, citizens or not, back into Mexico and they wanthe Blacks shipped to Liberia. Apply this theory to the national news and to the behavior of Maga base and you will see it fits.
You don't need to be afraid of the "Assyrians". You need to be afraid of some of your neighbors.

I hate to break this to you, Optimator, but you have totally ignored the moderates, and have drawn your thesis from the extremists on either side. White people elected President Obama, and he turned out to be a damned good president. There are, for certain, enough Black people to influence the outcome of a national election, but not enough to unilaterally elect a president without a whole lot of White people to vote along with them. It is obvious that xenophobic Caucasians are scared, and are easy fodder for the extremist right wingers who fear-monger them. There are myriad Whites who welcome multiculturalism and social engineering, and make them viable as concepts.
ReplyDeleteHave you not noticed that rabid extremists simply grab each others' slogans and battle cries, and rather than being original, co-opt them and throw them back at one another, just like little kids on the playground? Most of us "Crackers" realize that if you get rid of minorities and send them back to some mythical homeland, what would we ever do without the exciting foods, music, styles, slang, and novel perspectives which are gifted to us by those who are different from us? We live in wonderful times, times in which the people we used to study in our Social Studies classes in school are now our neighbors and we can actually have discussions and form friendships with them. The fear mongers would like to deprive us of that enrichment.
I have a confession to make. There are people whom I detest. They are the haters, the racists, the mean people who blame those who by pure chance in the birthing lottery drew other skin pigmentation than white. People who suppress and deprive others, and then blame them for the crime they learn in the impoverished neighborhoods in which they are forced to live. I personally fear ethnic cleansing, perpetrated by the elected officials who fear monger and scare people into voting for them and making America White (supposedly) again. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of ignoramuses, and I fear that we are about to get a bitter taste of that for some years until the lesson is learned. I can even foresee moderate White people forming protest groups patterned after BLM to counter the hard right.
I'm just glad that I was born and have lived my life during one of history's sweet spots. It has been that way because people sacrificed for the greater good, and were happy to compromise so the other guy got some of his needs met, too. Power was shared, and transitions were smooth and not revolutionary. People realized that for every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction, so were very careful about dumping gasoline on the fire.

ReplyDeleteI would very much like to see the moderates take a stand. So far, they have been unable to deal with D. Trump. He has been able to use their own system against them because the checks and balances never foresaw a President who would be an insurrectionist - and a President who has stacked the Supreme Court.
It is such a leader that you have failed to factor into the equation. Hitler rose to power abetted by an irresolute Von Hindenburg. When Hitler stepped into office, he was not an absolute dictator but he quickly became one because the checks and balances of the Weimar Republic were not adequate to stop someone with the effrontery to tread on the German constitution with jackboots. When Hitler became Chancellor he soon got the Enabling Act of 1933 instituted. After that, the familiar Germany disappeared and the Germany of Kristallnacht ensued.
If you do not find some haunting similarities between this sad era in Germany and the current USA, you need to wake up and smell the coffee. I look for Trump to win in 2024 and to soon implement his own version of the Enabling Act and the USA as we have known it, will be lost. The home of the brave and land of the free will even vanish from history texts - like the idea of political moderates.
Optimator
I do have contingency plans. If Trump is elected, or takes power through underhanded means, basically we're screwed. Screwed means no future. So, might as well have fun because certain things won't matter any more, so we may as well do some of the things we once enjoyed. I exited the interstate today and briefly dropped by the rez smoke shop to pick up a carton of Newport 100s. It's safely tucked away in my closet, and I'll make a decision on whether to actually indulge on election night.
ReplyDeleteI also plan to reread the Freedom Outlaws' Handbook, by Claire Wolfe, which I actually do reread anyway from time to time. Lots of great fuel to help me deal if worst case scenario kicks in.
Just a thought, but I believe you may find that many middle of the road white people will be helping to fund the enemies of the hard right white nationalists. Jeez, there must be half a dozen very powerful and extremely active organizations all of us can think of, starting with BLM.
I also believe that international corporations will not cave to a rogue president on many of the high roads they have chosen to take. When President Trump sought to decimate tight environmental standards in the auto industry, global car companies made it known in no uncertain terms that they would stick with the stricter standards for the good of the planet.
What does concern me is that if a POTUS were to impose tariffs and sanctions on other sovereign nations, we may see additional new disease epidemics developed and spread. In fact, I'd have to believe that the mere election of former President Trump would send scientists scurrying to their labs.
So, you see, all hope is not lost! There's plenty of stuff we can do. Obviously, my hopes would be that we get a moderate president, and democracy remains safe, but we'll see what happens. The funny thing is, I was actually pissed at all the demonstrators who took to the streets to protest Trump starting on inauguration day, 2017, but his remarks following Charlottesville turned me, and it all went on a toboggan slide down hill from that point forward!
