Dave Pack: "I've studied the length of Christ's ministry more than anybody else." Therefore, I know he returns "Jerusalem sundown on April 8th"


 

The Greatest Unending Retcon

Pastor General David C. Pack drags the brethren of The Restored Church of God on a meandering journey through prophetic nonsense and biblical misunderstanding. He is a documented false prophet and arrogant liar, proudly knowing nothing. He is ever-learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. That cannot and will not change.

Harboring doctrines of antichrist, the ravening wolf disguised as a lamb speaks words of a dragon cursing death upon the sheep that wandered off. He seeks none. He heals none. He feeds none. Eating the Common flesh of the fat, he makes merchandise of the brethren and wipes his mouth, “I have done no wickedness.”

“The Greatest Story Never Told!” began on November 14, 2015. Nobody could have imagined the blasphemous horror show it would become. The joy-crushing relentlessness of constant revisions, reversals, modifications, clarifications, and contradictions are sustained by gaslighting, shaming, deception, manipulation, and intimidation.

The weak hireling enablers at Headquarters, including Bradford Schleifer, Ryan Denee, Edward Winkfield, Jaco Viljoen, Carl Houk, Salasi Jezhi, Frank Lydick, Andrew Holcombe, James Habboush, and very lastly, Raymond Garb, are culpable in allowing the madness of David C. Pack to continue.

The unpaid field mollusks like Brian Jackson, Larry Cockshutt, and Wulphert de Graaf are complacent puppets supporting RCG’s fraudulent delusions.

A YouTube playlist for historical preservation titled If More Time was created to illustrate a point. Only fools believe the words of David C. Pack. And not even David C. Pack does that.

These two clips are crossing the one-year mark, proving nothing said in them came to pass.




Flashback Part 422 – February 18, 2023
@ 35:33 I’m not a hypocrite. I can’t stand up here and undo what I said in the last message.

By his own mouth, he has said it. That summarizes what he has been doing for the past eight years.

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 494)” on February 24, 2024, David C. Pack sat up there and undid what he said in the last message.

The Kingdom of God structure of 4-100-1000 is now 7-100-1000.

69 Weeks of Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy have already occurred.

The last prophetic 7-Year Week will begin on Abib 1, 2024.

 


Words David C. Pack still has not learned to stop uttering in 3…2…1…

Part 494 – February 24, 2024
@ 33:49 I hope I'm going slow enough, being careful enough that this can’t be misunderstood.

The man who most claims to see reveals himself to be blind.

@ 35:26 The only week left is the Opening Kingdom. That it is the Opening Kingdom that is seven years. But, I’ve gotta show you how we reckon this. So, one week.

I think he meant to say, “I’ve gotta show you how we retcon this.”

According to Merriam-Webster, “Retcon is a shortened form of retroactive continuity, and refers to a literary device in which the form or content of a previously established narrative is changed.”

David C. Pack is a biblical time traveler who insists on rolling back the clock to create a new branch of RCG doctrinal reality that he prays the brethren will not notice.


More than just eating words and eating more words, the perpetual retcons are a cautionary tale describing the majority of “The Greatest Unending Story!”

Part 494 covers Daniel 9’s 70 Weeks Prophecy and how a 7-Year Kingdom starting April 8, 2024, will complete the last whole prophetic week.

So, the “proven” 4-Year Kingdom from Part 493 was just poppycock. While claiming God's authority on His Sabbath, how can David C. Pack so shamelessly retcon all these statements?

Flashback Part 493 – February 17, 2024
@ 00:37 This will be an astounding sermon. Even though we’ll cover just two things that no one ever saw. No one (even through this long Series) ever dreamed that we could come this far…but you really don’t expect either of the two things that I’m gonna tell you now.

An astounding sermon that needed to be 50% retconned the following week. For the sake of new readers, it is often reported on exrcg.org that more than half of the Series is correcting the other half. This has been consistently proven.

@ 29:01 So, the idea that there is a seven-year kingdom is as dead ‘n gone as yesterday. I mean, that’s gone with the wind.

@ 31:19 And many, many, many questions you have are gonna just die.

Like Lazarus, the 7-Year Kingdom and many, many, many questions were resurrected by David C. Pack standing outside the tomb uttering, “Come forth” before the people.

@ 31:03 …in the First Kingdom, which we now know is not one year. It's not one year. I'm gonna tell ya exactly how long it is. And you're gonna be shocked. You're gonna be in awe of what it means to go first. They’re gonna go away. They’ll be gone with the wind when we understand these things.

The shock and awe for the All-Believing Zealots of an exactly 4-Year Kingdom was “returned to sender.”

@ 1:57:02 It’s simple. 4-100-1000. Not 1-7-1000. 4-100-1000…Simple. No Elijahn period other than a man who would be here explaining all of this. There is simplicity in Christ. The picture is easy.

Just not easy enough to get right.

It seems the non-biblical Elijahn period is fulfilled when a man explains all this totally wrong. Okay, not wrong. Just in need of some intense retcon.

 


During Part 494’s introduction, Dave could not stomach revealing he was about to retcon vast swaths of the last message. Instead of being honest, he alluded to more extraordinary things as a form of verbal lubrication to manipulate the path leading to significant corrections.

The words of his mouth are smoother than butter and softer than oil.

Part 494 – February 24, 2024
@ 00:36 Well, WE learned new numbers for the years, iterations before the Millennium. WE saw four years in front of a hundred. Now, a single giant item will be covered today… And I suppose WE’d been allowed to be coming to this place in a sense for a long time.

@ 01:17 Something shockingly simple came to light. And I’ll make it easy. And I mean really easy. I could not have dreamed I would see this so suddenly, and it would be so simple and so easy.

@ 01:44 So, let’s see God’s plan made easier and better.

Instead of Part 493 being a waste of time, it was merely preparation for a better plan.

@ 02:09 I don’t know if I’ve ever been as excited to give a message as I am on this one. This is the game changer. And again, it’s something we’ve been coming to for a long time.

It remains to be seen how much of Dave’s excitement survived when he gives Parts 495 and 496 today.

@ 02:19 So, let’s be sure that we’re thorough and accurate. I’m gonna show you something and then bring one powerful proof after another, and after another, and you will never walk out so inspired but also so deeply sobered as you will at the end of this message…

Dave spoon feeds 100% medical grade malarkey whipped into nutrient-free fluff. He said nothing, and it meant nothing. He preconditioned the brethren to accept whatever vomit he was about to spew.

The retcon of prophetic doctrines has never been so wonderful but required reminders in case some brethren were not swallowing it.

@ 09:52 We're gonna read it, and it’s gonna hit you like an anvil outta the sky.

@ 17:33 But, I promise you. Scholars don’t know.

@ 20:18 Truly, it’s this prophecy that has been sealed to the time of the end. And I’m gonna unseal it in powerful fashion before we leave tonight.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

David C. Pack unsealed a prophecy. Not God. Sometimes, he lets his guard down just enough to betray a glimpse of who and what he really is. Ignore that at your own peril.

 


@ 35:58 He'll do it for one week, and none of that week is in the past. I'll tell you in a minute why Worldwide got confused about it.

The Worldwide Church of God, the impersonal disembodied corporate entity, got confused. No, not Dave's beloved "Father in Another Gospel," aka Herbie Got-Nuttin-Right Armstrong. Dave is careful not to upset the fading old timers in case they are sitting on postmortem funds.

Due to his own flawless record, David C. Pack is the most qualified WCG Monday Morning Quarterback on earth today. Grant him all the honor he is due.

This next section is skimming fodder for the bullet points crowd, but it is meat and potatoes for the Daniel 9 “70 Weeks Prophecy” enthusiasts.

 @ 24:43 Well, the confusion ends now.

@ 26:26 Well, if you study the New Testament as I have and my brother has like nobody who’s ever lived (literally), and you cannot find when His ministry began in 27 AD or thereabouts, you’re stymied. You’re stymied.

@ 28:02 I’m gonna hafta show you what the Bible says it means when it says, “unto the Messiah.” I’m gonna show you. I’m gonna show you. And, yes, it does come off 457 [BCE]. And, yes, we are gonna find there are seven years left that have not been carried out.

@ 28:58 And I would think I've studied maybe more than my brother. I've studied the length of Christ's ministry more than anybody else.

@ 37:55 So, 1260 days or 42 months that are all 30-day months after the New Heavens and New Earth under the Eighth Head cannot be cannot be 1290 days before the New Heavens and New Earth. Impossible. I knew, and I’ve known for a long time without ever quite being able to pin it all down, this was eventually all gonna become math. Math.

Oh boy. More math. Dave needs to stay clear of biblical math like Harold Camping eventually learned. He also needs to avoid over-analyzing Hebrew and Greek. Even English is a challenge for him. In fact, it would serve Dave well to set his Bible down and go fishing for a few days to help clear that rotten mush in his head.

@ 38:50 And in the midst of the week at 1290 to go, I’ll explain midst. It doesn’t mean exact. I’ve done more research on the meaning of the word ḥēṣî than probably, you know, the Hebrew scholar who invented the word.

David C. Pack actually believes things like this. And there is nobody around brave enough to challenge him. Saying it makes it true in the candy glass doctrinal menagerie of David C. Pack.

He concluded that "unto Messiah" meant when Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. That was his super-big, exciting revelation. I apologize for underselling it with minimal verve.

@ 57:40 Now, we must accept 483 years to Christ's becoming the Messiah on faith in God's word, believing one week remains. And, as I said, seven years really is an eon… Making 69 weeks Christ's death, not His arrival, breaks the math and only leaves three years.

Faith in God’s word, not faith in David C. Pack’s fickle interpretation of God’s word. The depth of his convictions rings familiar with his continuous retcon of Daniel’s 1335 last year.


Dave fell down the 1335 rabbit hole for several months and could not climb out of it until he eventually gave up, rolled on his back, and exposed his belly and genitals in defeat.

He had to retcon Daniel’s 1335. How long until he retcons the 70 Weeks Prophecy?




What is the point of bragging you figured out what scholars for centuries did not if you cannot also reinforce a date for Jesus Christ’s return?


@ 1:04:26 We should expect an exact seven years from Jerusalem sundown on Abib 1. The other seven years, 69 times, were exactly seven years…

@ 1:04:46 So, when you get to the last seven years, you should expect an exact moment. And that's why I tell you I think I finally understand why. If the Goodman of the House had known in what hour and what watch the thief would come, he would've watched, and he woulda told his house. So, the only thing I can tell you is exactly seven years, Jerusalem sundown on April 8th is what we’re waiting for. …I'm sorry, it's another, you know, 43 and a half days away.

One fun fact is that as of Part 494, David C. Pack STILL has no idea there will be an eclipse in Ohio on April 8, 2024. Then, I consider poor Mrs. Pack. That will undoubtedly be an epic laundry day in the history of the Pack household.

After Dave finds out there will be 100% totality over the Wadsworth Campus during a new moon while it is Abib 1 in Jerusalem, he will soil his underwear. All three ways.

I giggle thinking of Dave standing with his hands on his hips, looking out the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium window at 2:45 PM on April 8, and only then noticing the daylight is not normal.

“What is going on out there?” “Oh, Mr. Pack, there is a total solar eclipse this afternoon.” “What? Did you know about this?” “Everyone knows, sir.”

How much mental rehearsing has Brad already performed, practicing the spin he plans to use on Dave when he storms into his office and slams the door shut? The ladies at their desks in the hallway will get an earful unless they are already outside with their eclipse glasses on.

 


The Greatest Unending Retcon will continue unabated and unfulfilled because David C. Pack does not hold God's authority and does not reveal divine knowledge. He can string together all the Bible verses he wants and create pointless lists numbered into the hundreds, but none will prove true.

The Spirit of Error celebrates a perpetual Mardi Gras at Headquarters with hysterical laughter as the false apostle winds himself up into a euphoric frenzy only to dismantle his own ideas soon after.

Nobody is more capable of relentlessly retconning the teachings of David C. Pack than David C. Pack. Sitting back and watching him destroy his own doctrines would be amusing if not for all the broken people trapped within the walls of that spiritually bankrupt organization.

There is much tragedy living in The Restored Church of God, and nobody can retcon the pain David C. Pack, and the hireling enablers at Headquarters have caused.

What shall be the end of these things? Nobody knows for sure. But it will not go well for David C. Pack, the adversarial Retcon King of his own follies.

  1. All this blarney and not a peep about the upcoming total eclipse over Wadsworth...

  2. Here's a hypothetical. What if you worked as a clerk in a supermarket, and an old man came in once or twice a week and made statements that were shocking, like that Jesus was coming within the next ten days. If the employees in the supermarket were just a little slow, maybe within, say, two months' time, they'd all have him pegged as some sort of lunatic, and would treat him dismissively. And, that's without him actually asking them for money!

    So! What's wrong with the RCG members and Dave's lieutenants? What is so different about the market employees who seem to have exponentially more common sense? The RCG members have all been exposed, as a primer, to the Armstrong prophecy mold. They've bought into it (literally, actually with their money and resources!). They believe the basic framework, that is a given. So, it doesn't really matter to them that the man they look to for spiritual guidance is constantly wrong, because every leader of the original RCG (Radio Church of God), and the successor splinters, has ALWAYS been wrong! But, they continue to believe the mold, so that pathology is by this point in time virtually a prerequisite for continued membership!

    "Welcome to Armstrongism! (But please don't call it that. Actually, we prefer that it be called God's Truth, because the name Armstrongism makes it sound as if it only came from a man.) This is a very special place in which we treat lying false prophets with reverence because they continue to give us hope that the proven lies from the past, lies that we gave our all to further, are not only still the truth, but their fulfillment is just around the corner! We can't wait to see the horrified expressions on all the mockers' faces when it all finally comes to pass and our beliefs and lives of sacrifice are finally vindicated! We love and fear our leaders, because they not only give us very special insider insights, but they also function as the gatekeepers for those of us who will be spared. We're not offended by those of you who can't understand the logic of what we do, we actually feel sorry for you! Just wait! You'll see, but then it will be too late!"

    And then, of course there are the churches Garner Ted started, who apparently believe that Donald Trump will actually succeed in making America great again, somehow avoiding the consequences of the Armstrong prophecy mold, but that's another topic entirely!

  3. David has clearly become burnt out and has to fill the void with obnoxious meaninglessness that is devoid of God. It must be a certain type of hell on earth to be living, working and trying to worship in and around his influence.
    It will not be so under Jesus's return. God speed that day.

  4. I would like to see interviews with his current5 church members - why they stick around in light of his continual false prophecies about the date of Christ's return.
    Is it because they gave away all their money to him, and feel they cannot afford to disbelieve?

  5. The so-called COGs were supposed to be the pillar and ground of the truth. They were supposed to be better than the Roman Catholic Church and its Protestant daughter churches. But now, satanic filth cults like Gerald Flurry's PCG and outrageous scams like David Pack's RCG are about as corrupt and fraudulent as anything else that Satan ever came up with.

  6. I'm commenting this in the half [Hebrew chetsiy - Daniel 9:27] of the week, now, on Sunday, to make the point that false prophets who think Dan 9:27 refers to Wednesday will maybe want in the future to disappear into the midst.
