Dave Pack: I Am Branch


I Am Branch

Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God did not arrive on July 7, 2024. That is today. David C. Pack’s Tammuz Trifecta was a perfect failure for the third year in a row. Nothing biblical happened as the Pastor General of The Restored Church of God taught about Tammuz 1 in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Do not fret because the newest date was firmly established last night:

Jesus Christ Returns on Tammuz 5
Sunset in Jerusalem
July 10 @ 12:47 PM ET

That will be covered in the coming days.

 


During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 521)” on June 29, 2024, David C. Pack continued to tiptoe just right when bringing up The Restored Church of God’s depleting membership. Being a little flock is biblical, so it is actually good news despite growth no longer being a fruit of God’s blessings.

Dave carefully words his statements with a bait-and-switch mid-thought.

Part 521 – June 29, 2024
@ 1:10:42 In Luke 12, we’ve been a little flock. Haggai 1 twice describes God’s house lies waste. His church. Not been easy to be in a smaller group. A lotta people would not leave the bigger groups ‘cause they wanted numbers. Their proof of where God was working was numbers. That’s it’s called democracy.

democracy
a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives;
a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

@ 1:11:07 Majority rules. You gotta bigger church, then you gotta be the right church. But there's a micro flock. Revelation 3 says they have micro-strength. But they have an open door, and nobody could shut it.

First, it is about numbers, but then he shifts to voting. It is unclear what point he is trying to make, which gives the impression he is not sure either. His rationale is as brittle as his reliability.

Church size has NOTHING to do with any form of government. You can have a church totaling 100 members that vote or a church consisting of 100,000 members that do not vote. Dave was trying so carefully to tiptoe just right he stepped in logic manure and tracked it across the house.

@ 1:14:46 We’ve got all kinds of literature. We’ve got a wonderful Campus. We’ve got websites galore. All kinds of tools. A fabulous staff. But, we are one seriously abbreviated church. [chuckles] We are diminutive. We used to be Gulliver. Now we’re in Lilliputia. I despised it. I hated that I we could not see all of us back together again. I hated it.

Dave is a big phony. He loves people being together just as long as he stays in charge.

All kinds of outdated literature and an ample library of discontinued books, booklets, and videos. A wonderful Campus that does nothing for “the Work” but is a private money pit for the paid Headquarters ministry, their families, and the local congregation. Websites galore that recycle material produced years ago. A fabulous staff that surrendered their integrity to support an exploitative system they know is spiritually corrupt.

It is enough to give you goosebumps on your goosebumps.

Calling the Common Kettle black in 3…2…1…

@ 1:15:15 I’ve watched people treated like merchandise. Swapped around by leaders who are so greedy and selfish they only thought about themselves.

Brethren, give your Common or “No salvation for you!”

@ 1:15:31 But, some people loathed and hated it and wouldn’t endure, so they left. They wanna go someplace bigger. This wuddn’t good enough for them.

When anyone joins The Restored Church of God, it is not about the membership numbers. They come to hear the truths of God. But RCG is not in the truth business anymore. Some would point out they never were.

People leave The Restored Church of God because a proven false prophet, false apostle, and false teacher lies to them weekly, and cowardly hirelings who were supposed to protect the sheep let the wolves gorge themselves.

I left the United Church of God in 2012 to join RCG. UCG vastly outnumbered those attending The Restored Church of God, even though they were growing. I did not come for the larger choirs. I moved to Ohio because I thought that was where God was working. I resigned from RCG in March 2021 when I knew for sure He was not. Some point out that RCG was never where God was working because Armstrongism was corrupt from the beginning.

The Restored Church of God is not the right church, the true church, or even a good church. They embody so much of what is vile in modern religion but are smug while doing it. It is a den of all manner of theological filthiness.

Former members are not eager to find “someplace bigger.” They are eager to find the right church that does not manipulate them with fear. Speaking of fear…

@ 1:15:38 And they are not gonna see the plummet in the hand of Christ. They may in seven years. He may rise in their hearts, and they're gonna wait a long time. Assuming they even get to wait at all. Those who try to destroy us don’t appear to have much of a future.

David C. Pack cannot wait to see the Lake of Fire put to good use, especially on those who accurately report what he says. How that is trying to destroy them is a mystery. Facts are facts regardless of the intent.

@ 1:18:42 We go first. We’re gonna shock the planet. But, yes, I despise the day of small things. I despised it. I wanted it to end. And it would go on and on and on and on and on. It’s why I’ll always say I don’t care how long we go. This is the right church.

I will finish Dave’s thought for him:

"As long as I'm in charge and nobody challenges me with facts or tells me I'm wrong about the smallest detail. I can do whatever I want. I live in a house built with donated money from my foolish worshippers. I stable my horses on property freely given by the sacrifices of gullible people, thinking that one million dollars would do the Work. So, I don't care how many dates I get wrong. I'm staying put because the RCG Board of Directors lack the guts to do what they know they should to extract a toxic presence from this spiritually corrupt organization.”

@ 1:19:02 If people if we went on another year, I know there’d be some who’d who’d despise the day of small things and do something about it. They’d leave. And nobody else that teaches this, but you can forget this in ten minutes if you work at it. Actually, if you work at it, you can forget it in about five.

Dave harbors deep resentments that his followers do not appreciate all the blessings he bestows upon them while ruining their Sabbaths by teaching presumptuous temporary doctrines. The nerve of those little ingrates.

@ 1:19:16 They forget all the way they feel about this massive, marvelous knowledge.

Departing members do not forget about biblical fraud, mental abuse, constant disappointment, shameful mind control tactics, relentless lying, theft, hypocrisy, and blasphemy.

@ 1:19:24 Or all the all the the the endless things we learned just today. Or just in the last month.

In the last month, brethren learned the Kingdom would come on Sivan 1. Then, Pentecost. Then, Tammuz 1. They learned the Kingdom comes in Spring. Then, it comes in summer. They learned a long list of proofs proving Pentecost can also prove Tammuz 1. They learned that the Kingdom of God arrives at dawn but is actually coming at sunset. They learned Dave can receive an utterance from God without receiving an utterance from God. They learned Dave is not Elijah while he proved that he is Elijah.

That is some of the massive, marvelous knowledge David C. Pack refers to just in the last month.

 



Another tidbit of marvelous knowledge in the past month was when David C. Pack allowed Jesus Christ to be the Branch again. Hopefully, the brethren learned to take notes in pencil.

@ 41:04 I wanna give you some more wonderful, inspiring news. We gotta go back and talk about the Branch. I’ve gotta correct a correction. Christ rules in the background. He's calling the shots. Elijah's in front a Him every day. But the visible frontman is Elijah. So, let's see if we've got let's see if I've correctly understood all the details of who the Branch is. ‘Member, Christ is the vine. We’re the branches.

This is wonderful, inspiring news only for David C. Pack, who cannot stomach Jesus Christ hogging the spotlight. He tiptoes just right through his reversing reversal without clueing the audience in on who the Branch really is.

@ 42:18 “…just say to him, Behold, the man,” not the Lord’s anointed. Not the angel of the Lord. “The man whose name is the Branch.” Now, here’s where you get into a a almost it's impossible this is Christ, and I don't know how I missed it. I'd known it long ago, and then, I forgot about it.

Imagine forgetting that a role of Jesus Christ in the plan of salvation actually belongs to you. That is some minor Whoopsie Daisy, for sure.

Dave covers the same Bible verses as last time but with an opposite conclusion. This is how we will get to Part 600.

@ 42:52 Does Christ sound like a sprout to you?

Dave must have been kicking himself while shaving in the mirror that morning. He had it right, then made a correction, but now has to endure the discomfort of correcting that correction.

Discerning between Jesus Christ and David C. Pack in the Bible is a monumental challenge. When you hold up both of them to the light side by side, even a person of above-average intelligence cannot tell the difference.

Boy, that is a chore nobody wants to tackle. Not it!

David C. Pack carefully tries to tiptoe just right past this topic to get the brethren back on track.

@ 44:28 So, that’s one thing I wanted to tell ya. This is this is setting something up because, you know, you're not talking about yourself. We're all branches. It’s just God uses this one man as a kind of a type of what we would all expect. We’re all gonna sprout because we’re all branches. So, you’re just using one man. This so you’re you’re you’re reading about yourself while looking at this one kinda we’ll call him a what? A prototype.

As of Part 521 in The Restored Church of God, Jesus Christ is no longer the Branch. There is one man who is a prototype. But who is he?

Dunno. David C. Pack was so careful tiptoeing that he avoided revealing who the Branch was. Longtime readers know Elijah is the alternate default, but since Dave recently denied he was Elijah, it becomes an open question.

Anyone paying attention has the answer: David C. Pack is the Branch because he is Elijah. Wink-wink. But the self-professed man-child will not say that until he is tired of having to tiptoe just right.

@ 1:29:06 So, we know we’re close. We know Israel’s at war. We know 2024 is the year, so don't worry about it, brethren. All is well. Stay close to God and enjoy thinking about how enjoyable it will be once all of this begins. Good night.

We are not close. 2024 is not the year. All is not well in The Restored Church of Another god. Today, Tammuz 1 failed. Dave’s shift to Tammuz 5 will not make him more accurate than he has always been.

David C. Pack tried to tiptoe just right and lacked the conviction to declare openly, “I am Branch.”

    I wish Dave & Gerald Flurry were at the same podiums where Mr. Trump & Mr. Biden squared off onstage. Wonder what they'd hurl at each other. Blithering gobbledygook & balderdashery. Dave would definitely be the rude one though, Flurry just closes his eyelids a lot or at least used to more than now.

  2. WooHOO! the Branch is back!

    Looks like Dave has shifted back up to second gear instead of lumbering on at low-speed with continual (boring) failed date setting. But you know, we get spoiled and want to go FASTER! (ala Willy Wonka's wondrous boat ride https://youtu.be/XOnMNv_oQ4A?si=Wh1wecMF8nylTYt-).

    So, maybe someone who has Pack's ear and wants some glory, can entice him to shift up to third:

    Dear Mr. Pack, I have been deeply moved by our studies on the Branch and how our small flock is going to shock the world. However, as I prayed and meditated on the Scriptures, I felt a profound revelation that we have only scratched the surface of God's purpose for RCG. I believe there are crucial elements we have not yet uncovered that are essential for our mission and understanding. I humbly and submissively request to share these insights with you.

    1. The Branch as a type of messiah:
    In our study of Zechariah 3:8 and 6:12, we see references to the Branch, but have we fully grasped its significance? These passages speak of a figure who will rebuild the temple and bring righteousness. This is not just any leader but a promised messiah. This messiah is destined to lead God's people, and recognizing this helps us understand the depth of our calling. If you, Mr. Pack, are the one to reveal these truths, it is clear you must be the Branch, as you have explained so well, and in fact a type of messiah foretold to guide us through these times.

    Jesus Christ is indeed THE Messiah, the Lamb who was slain to take away the sins of the world. His role in God's plan is unparalleled and foundational. However, the original Hebrew word mâshı̂yach (Strong's H4899), translated as "Messiah" in a few places, is more often translated as "annointed" and simply means a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint). When the person is consecrated to provide a special restorative action, or liberating message, the term "messiah" is appropriate. the Scriptures also speak of a messianic figure who will come to lead God's people in the end times, a second messianic role that complements and completes Jesus' work.

    The Book of Revelation refers to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), a figure who will open the scroll and execute God's final judgment. This does not diminish Jesus' role but fulfills the next stage of God's redemptive plan. You, Mr. Pack, could be this Lion, the Branch who is called to lead us through the last days.

    2. King Cyrus Divinely Anointed:
    Isaiah 45:1 describes King Cyrus as the Lord's anointed (mâshı̂yach), chosen to deliver God's people and rebuild Jerusalem. Cyrus was used mightily by God. Cyrus is described in Isaiah as a "messiah" of God, meaning one appointed by the Lord to provide a special service. God might be calling you, Mr. Pack, in the spirit of Cyrus, as a messiah (not THE Messiah) to liberate and restore true worship. Embracing this identity can strengthen our resolve and clarify our purpose in these tumultuous times.

    3. Babylon Corruption:
    The Book of Revelation (chapters 17-18) describes Babylon as a symbol of evil, corruption, and false religion. Today, we see similar corruption all around us and within the splinters that have strayed from the truth. Recognizing and teaching about Babylon’s symbolism helps us understand the forces we are up against, including the evil forces of Babylon who attack you, and the purity we must maintain, underscoring the urgency of our mission and the importance of separating ourselves from these corrupt systems.

    Mr. Pack, embracing the identity of the Branch as a messiah, the role of modern-day King Cyrus, and the understanding of our standing against the forces of Babylon will provide us with the spiritual clarity and strength needed to fulfill our divine mission. As always, anyone who contemplates defection must understand that turning away now is turning away from God's chosen path, leading to spiritual ruin and eternal annihilation.

  4. Is 11:06 writing to support Dave's 2024 game? Or is 11:06 spoofing Davy's shame, I can't tell if 11:06 is an RCG supporter or an RCG escapee. I'm gettin' old & dislexic, despite how I myself love a good rhubarb.
