Dave Pack: Divine Exhaustion

 

Divine Exhaustion

As an unprecedented act of miraculous intervention never before recorded in human history or even in the Bible, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God was blessed by his god with divine exhaustion so that “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 621)” could be delivered on the correct day, as it was meant to be since Creation.

For the doubting, unwashed heathens, the one day that had to tarry was Friday, January 30, 2026.

If the Pastor General had not been wonderfully stricken with holy fatigue from on high, he might have accidentally preached erroneous information that could have had potentially embarrassing consequences, while also robbing the brethren of vital, time-sensitive knowledge held in secret since the Garden.

Instead, Part 621 was thankfully given on Saturday, January 31, 2026, guaranteeing that everything is right on track in the cosmos. And in Wadsworth.

Part 621 – January 31, 2026
@ 00:17 If you wanna know what canceled yesterday: fatigue. Exhaustion. I just realized that I needed to take a day off. I'm fine today, but I I also think God stopped me because I had some other interesting things to to see.

Dave is a guy who makes the most outlandish excuses for anything that could be interpreted as weakness. 

After all, this is the guy who contracted prophetic COVID-19 in October 2020, after mocking members of The Living Church of God at the Feast of Tabernacles because they took extra precautions to protect their members’ health by allowing people to wear masks and not sing during services.

Oh, how Dave mocked them. And then, got COVID.

Sure, he bragged about it afterward once he found a biblical angle, but it was very hush-hush at Headquarters while it was happening. I put the pieces together long before Dave finally admitted it to the church, but not without wrapping it in egotistical titanium. We are talking Hadron Collider-grade spin.

Flashback Part 273 – December 12, 2020
@ 01:38:13 I'm gonna even tell you why God held me back. There's actually a prophecy that says, and and I didn't put it together for a while, why I would not speak for a while. I got stuck, you know. I went a couple weeks after the Feast. Didn’t wanna speak again. Then I got COVID. I just never told anybody about it. And there was a several more weeks. And then I began to realize, you know, I'm putting things together in a way. And finally I realized there was a prophecy, I wudden’t supposed to speak till I put everything back together and gave what looked like, we'll talk about it, one final message after a hiatus, sort of, to quote Ezekiel 3, shut up in my house until the right time.

Since Dave got away with declaring prophetic COVID and nobody in the church blinked, he doubled down on that divine parachute one month later when he got laryngitis.  

Flashback Part 277 – January 7, 2021
@ 00:06 Thank you all for your patience with my voice. I think it's about 98%. I got [chuckles] Ezekiel 3 revisited upon me. I was shut up in my house. I've been I've been coming to work, but I I couldn't speak very well, and I I know why. I know God stopped my voice until these messages were ready, and this will become clear.

This illness-God-blaming became a staple in The Restored Church of God, and as of Part 621 five year later, it is here to stay.

Can you imagine waking up in the morning with the sniffles and thinking, "I wonder if this is prophetic in nature and God is guiding me in some way." Rather than admitting that time and chance happen to us all, and we all get sick sometimes when it is not our fault due to poor hygiene, lack of good health practices, or a lousy diet. All human beings just get ill, and that is what happens.

But not for David C. Pack. When he gets COVID, or the flu, or loses his voice, or has heart issues, it always has to MEAN something. He is not at fault because his god MADE this affliction happen to serve an all-important, righteous purpose.

Dave has often said that people get sick because of secret sins. Those around him in the office know how much he despises physical weakness. A woman at Headquarters told me, "Mr. Pack gets mad when he sees my hands shake." The woman has Parkinson's, and I noted this story back in August 2025 after Dave asked for a prayer request.

According to Dave, illness is due to eating too much sugar, not drinking enough water, or doing something privately you should not be doing, and you are hiding it. This applies to everyone but him.

Everything in Dave’s life is his god’s fault or his god’s will for his god’s purpose. Just think of all the prophetic hemorrhoids and immaculate wet dreams we never get to hear about. To hold such occurrences back is spiritual neglect because someone in the audience might be inspired to know that there is blood on the Seventh Messenger’s toilet paper after he wipes, too.

Talk about fitly-framed togetherness.

Please do not start the rumor that feckless enabler Ryan Denee was personally tasked with taking a mold of Dave’s hemorrhoids so they could be cast in gold and placed next to Herbert W. Armstrong’s typewriter in the Grand Hall display case at the entrance of the Hall of Administration at Headquarters in Wadsworth.

Buck up, Ryan. At least that would hold some legitimate biblical precedence, all thanks to 1 Samuel 5-6.

During Part 621, Dave reiterated that the Kingdom to Israel would arrive on February 2, just as he taught before. Then rejected. Then, he unrejected it just in time to watch it fail in real time. It's a lucky break that Dave relented to the hand of his god, holding him back so we could see
Bible prophecy more clearly.

But, Dave spoiled the fun by suggesting there "could be" a delay of up to one whole week. That means that some in RCG will have a half-eye "looking for" on Monday, February 9.

When Dave comes back to update his updated update, rest assured that, like his illnesses, the continued wait and more-perfect updates are just a necessary part of God’s plan.
