RCG/Dave Pack Newsflash: The Kingdom Comes on March 18, 2026! Oops. Let's Change That to February 2. Uh Oh. I Really Meant February 1.

 


RCG/Dave Pack Newsflash:

The Kingdom Comes on March 18, 2026!

Oops. Let's Change That to February 2.

Uh Oh. I Really Meant February 1.

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God enjoys the thrill of finding the day that cannot tarry after ten long years of toil and disappointment. Ever-rushing to call out recycled malarkey, the Pastor General is mentally and physically exhausted as he continues to hunt his religious white whale across the stormy seas of Bible prophecy.

Dave knows that unless he can deliver the goods by nailing down the date for the arrival of ANYTHING biblical, he is just another wacky former Ambassador College graduate with a non-credentialed degree in outdated theological tomfoolery.

Just like his doppelgänger, Gerald Flurry, unless he accurately discovers the real start of the Kingdom to Israel, or the Kingdom of God, the return of Jesus Christ, the beginning of the 1335, or actual worldwide calamity, he will need to face the reality that he is not a prophet, not an apostle, and God had nothing to do with the decades of his blowhard meanderings.

With each prophetic failure, the picture must shift to continue the illusion of legitimacy. Keeping brethren perpetually on the hook, he and his enablers sell the concept that their journey's end is just over the horizon. They just need to hang on and endure one more shift in understanding.

The Kingdom Will Come on March 18, 2026!


Dave was all piss and vinegar, stewing in his spirit-inspired certainty during “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 615)” on January 3, 2026, when he landed back on Abib 1 for the fourth year in a row. 

Part 615 – January 3, 2026
@ 00:42 Only when all competing dates passed before the last possible date can you have full confidence a date cannot tarry.

@ 07:58 But I do know absolutely and completely when the this Kingdom [7-year] comes, and we're gonna go home knowing that much today. Absolutely. I waited, I was suspicious, I've been suspicious. And I'm gonna show you we finally are gonna reach the date where it's impossible that it's wrong, and you'll know that.

It must give the brethren the warm fuzzies when Dave gets all absolute about his current belief. Here are words Dave likes to say that never age well:

@ 13:17 But I I will I will stake everything on what I'm gonna tell you…

@ 13:40 How about it's about time to say the 7-Year Kingdom begins when all the others did on Abib 1. So if you want to write it down, put down March 18th.

He went on and on and on about how March 18 was the day they had been waiting for. Abib 1 is “the day that cannot tarry,” because this one is as hard as diamond, and the brethren will be “absolutely unable to doubt March 18.”

The brethren were unable to doubt it longer than Dave was because he shifted his tune the following week during “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 616)” on January 10.

The Kingdom Will Come on February 2, 2026!


Dave started off with manipulative word games to lull his worshipers into a false sense of security.

Part 616 – January 10, 2026
@ 01:06 We are seven years for a kingdom right here [7 glass on table]. In that regard, March 18th is locked with 1335 days thought to be within it. Abib 1 is a hard date. But it's the fifth day of a week. Aren't we to look for a third day?

David C. Pack is the master of mixed messages, blending reassurance with the introduction of doubts to lead his audience into seeing things his way. He chips away at his own teaching from the previous week and takes 37 more minutes to get to the punchline.

@ 38:24 There wouldn't have been a 1335 in their mind because we're learning that's fiction. We have it wrong. We're not waiting for March 18th. We're waiting for 45 days before that.

Dave returns to a three-kingdom structure, convolutes the 1335, 1290, and 7-Year Kingdom, then invents a "clever" nickname for the 45 days before March 18, “the Sour Grapes Kingdom.”

David C. Pack has no qualms about taking the Lord's name in vain each time he puffs his chest, claiming God's authority.

@ 51:53 The 1335, on God's authority, I'm telling you, is not in the in the seven years. If it is, we could never know it. It would be utterly contrary to all the things I've told you.

He serves up humble pie to smash in the members' faces.

@ 1:09:11 I don't take any credit. I couldn't possibly figure any of this out without the help of God.

David C. Pack figured nothing out. When he soon abandons the 45-day First Kingdom before it gets close, he will refuse to consider how many times he spoke in God’s name while teaching it and gave God the credit for putting it in his head. He can never face the implications of doing this for ten years running.

After fear-mongering about Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia with a ridiculous "society is collapsing" proclamation, Dave tied the timing of world events to the proximity of the Kingdom's arrival.

@ 1:32:27 It can't go on. We're looking for a year where 45 days before an Abib it's a Tuesday. Or, if you will, a Monday night or if you will, a Monday morning here when it's Monday night, sundown in Jerusalem. Remember, you touch 1335. But just touch it. That'd be a Monday morning. February 2nd.

You know the drill by now. Dave will get suspicious, feel uncomfortable, make a startling discovery that changes everything, and set a new date that is certain to fail.

For those keeping score, February 2 and March 18 in chronological order will be David C. Pack's failures 139 and 140. The countdown timer is running on exrcg.org.

 

 

The Kingdom Will Come on February 1, 2026!

Update: During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)” on January 17, 2026, David C. Pack changed his story again and moved the date for the start of the Kingdom to February 1.

Part 617 – January 17, 2026
@ 01:23 It's critical we stay with proof of mid-Shevat. …you're gonna learn that February 1st replaces February 2nd. So, we're not waiting for Monday morning, February 2. We're waiting for Sunday morning, February 1. There's huge, massive proof of that. For now, until I can get to it, for now, just rejoice we’re a day closer.

The members of The Restored Church of God are no closer to David C. Pack being right than they were one week ago or ten years ago. He is a blaspheming, hypocritical liar, a false teacher, a false apostle, and a false prophet. With the abundant documentation of his deceit and failures, it is foolish to believe anything the Pastor General says.

Didn't Mr. Pack declare last year that an Abib 1 return was "immutable... settled church doctrine" in RCG?

Soon the Web will be full of deep fakes of Jesus and Dave will be obsolete.

I'm so happy Dave has brought back the shot glass. I cant tell you how much that means to me, thanks Dave. Oh, by the way how are the Horses doing at the compound Dave?

Dave lands on Abib 1 for a spell every year. Since the exrcg website started, I track this as his fourth year in a row, but I've heard from members he did this in 2022 before I started paying attention to RCG in a regimented way. Since I have yet to go back and pull the quotes, I cannot verify it is 5 years in a row. If I look at my personal notes, it might be every year for longer than that. There are the "usual suspects" that glow with importance when they come around each year. You can almost set your watch to them.

Feb 1 does not work for me. I am getting my hair cut that day. Can we change it to the next day?

Surely by now, with all the numbers he has racked up, falsely predicting that Jesus is coming on specific date after date is the only thing for which he will be remembered. If I were one of his children, I would make sure it is on his tombstone!

Satanic Mess #2: David C. Pack

When David C. Pack started his RCG cult in 1999, he claimed that he was going to restore everything that Herbert W. Armstrong had taught at the time of HWA's death on January 16, 1986.

Then, David Pack went on to promote himself to Apostle, Joshua the High Priest, Elijah the Prophet (after posthumously promoting HWA out of the way to the office of Moses), and even That Prophet. David Pack's booklet that had previously proved that HWA was the one who had come in the spirit and power of Elijah to restore all things got deleted. David Pack's booklet that had previously proved that Jesus Christ was That Prophet also got deleted.

David Pack came up with a big August 31, 2013 prophetic guess that totally failed in spite of his 56 proofs for it. Rescheduling it for a spring fulfillment did not help. David Pack later went on to prove that, for all practical purposes, none of his hundreds of so-called “proofs” for things ever really prove anything.

Since David Pack's RCG cult was a tiny fraction of the size of the Worldwide Church of God, he had to get more than the usual tithes and offerings to support all his big plans. So David Pack claimed to have restored a “common” doctrine that everyone had to faithfully pay virtually everything they had (cash, savings, retirement plans, houses, possessions, etc.) to him, “or no salvation if you don't.” David Pack glibly reassured everyone that doing so would not leave them destitute. None of this “common” money goes to help those in need in David Pack's RCG cult.

David Pack now spends his time, and wastes his followers' time, telling his new, weekly, wrong, prophetic guesses to entertain his followers' itching ears with The Greatest Load Of Nonsense Every Told.

Moral rules were invented by people like Dave so they could take advantage of naive followers.

Reminds me of an old joke! What do you call it when you have your first-born son circumsized? Getting an heir cut!

More like moral laws can be co-opted and used for exploitative or nefarious purposes.
