Dave Pack: All Eyes On Passover (Eight Years And Counting...)

 



All Eyes on Passover

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God has made a career of teaching dates for the arrival of the Kingdom of God and blowing them off before they pass. For his Abib 1 private interpretation, he proclaimed the discovery of Jesus Christ’s birthday as proof of the legitimacy of his latest biblical illusion.

Was that knowledge from God, or did David C. Pack make it up?

Inside RCG, enabling revisionists lure questioning brethren away from reality with a soft brush of manipulative words to coax them into passive, forgetful submission. This insults discerning members who remember what the human idol said.

Part 559 – February 22, 2025
@ 04:18 But, I’m more certain this week than I was last week. In fact, it’s just so utterly, absolutely, totally, and completely impossible that it is not Abib 1.

@ 37:28 But the important thing to understand is we’ve absolutely got the right day. We have it even named. [Pounds on the table] We absolutely have Christ’s birth date right. [Pounds on the table] We’ve got it right. It’s Abib 1.

Part 558 – February 15, 2025
@ 2:02:45 And we found it. We were seeking the truth, and we found it. Abib is a great discovery. A long time coming. WHAT God is going to do is now joined by an absolute WHEN.

As March 29 approached, Abib 1 turned out to be not-so-absolute. It was not the truth despite what David C. Pack preached while invoking God’s name and authority.

Part 564 – March 22, 2025
@ 1:16:57 I’m gonna just tell you: Nothing’s gonna happen next week because I I always I sh–wrestle–I’ve got too much material. I can’t finish it.

David C. Pack magnanimously dissolved twelve sermons spanning two months in just eleven seconds. But since he cannot remove the false carrot from the manipulation stick without attaching another lying carrot, he shifts all eyes onto Passover.

@ 1:17:11 I I became convicted about Passover and decided not to wait. But rather to eliminate all doubt for us all. If Passover can be proven absolutely, the 1335, if ya never did understand it, must fall inside the Kingdom. It has to.

@ 1:40:28 This is why you guard Abib. Not because Abib 1 is important. But, observe the month of Avib and keep the Passover. That’s the immediate emphasis. That’s the immediate emphasis. It points to Passover. That’s why you’re watching Abib.

Jesus Christ Returns on Passover
April 11 at 8:02 PM ET

RCG brethren comfort each other, repeating the lie, "Mr. Pack only has to be right once." He will never be right because David C. Pack is a blaspheming hypocritical liar, a false prophet, a false apostle, and a biblical fraud.

Dave can refine his malarkey seven times, but it is still just worthless malarkey.

Foolish members are again distracted from deleavening their hearts because their Pastor General arrogantly imprints himself into the annual myth that the Kingdom of God will arrive when he says.

All eyes are now on Passover.



Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread are annual events as much as David C. Pack inserting himself into the Holy Days to keep the brethren at the edge of their seats with naïve anticipation and feigned excitement.

The lies have been piled so high for so long that even David C. Pack cannot remember them all.

Part 558 – February 15, 2025
@ 02:43 First, WE thought maybe it was from Pentecost, and WE might've even wondered if it was Passover. I can't recall. We have thought Passover in years past, but that's when WE thought there were two or three muh-more kingdoms.

He also cannot remember disproving the day he will shortly thereafter reclaim.

Part 560 – March 1, 2025
@ 1:27:40 Try to make it Passover to Passover, and God just absolutely trampled His own Passover. Trampled His Son say, "You come right on into the Night To Be Much Observed.”

@ 1:28:08 You make it Passover to Passover, and it just as false.

Despite the trampling falsehoods, Dave gave himself wiggle room with the Abib 1 or Passover conundrum.

Part 563 – March 15, 2025
@ 35:59 But, I’ve come to believe it is going to be either the 29th 15 days on top of 2,580, and that takes you to bang, Passover to the minute. Or, or it’s going to be Passover to Passover, which would be a real simple kingdom.

David C. Pack shouts, pounds his fists on the table, leans back in righteous certainty, and waves pages of listed notes proving how much his god is revealing to him. If only his god had been a better communicator, years of confusion and doubt could have been avoided.

But all eyes are now on Passover 2025. For now.



“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Passover 2019 in Retrospect

Part 175 – March 29, 2019
@ 1:29:13 I had a couple wrong dates. Been hearing wrong dates for decades, but you know, I had a couple wrong dates: Esther’s Fast and Passover. God either allowed them or maybe even inspired them.

Part 177 – June 6, 2019
@ 1:50:27 You gotta wash your mind clean. This isn’t Esther’s Fast revisited or “Mr. Pack thinks Passover’s when Christ is coming.” I didn’t know enough yet. We’re way ahead of where we were, and I hope I get some credit for that. This is kind-er hard. But I think I got it.

Passover 2020–No Way

Part 242 – March 28, 2020
@ 19:33 Now, I don’t believe for two seconds that Christ is coming on the Passover or on the Night To Be Much Observed.

Passover 2020–Yes Way

Part 246 – April 4, 2020
@ 10:31 It’s telling you that day is the Passover. It’s indisputable, unassailable, inarguable. You cannot see it any other way. And we barely started. That just locks it down.

Part 247 – April 9, 2020
@ 00:56 The number of proofs goes on and on and on and on that Christ is coming on the Passover.

Passover 2020-Plus in Retrospect

Part 269 – October 3, 2020
@ 52:52 I thought over the past two years about the Kingdom coming on a feast day. I I thought Pentecost is it. Is it a couple of years ago? Is it is it Passover? Is it Unleavened Bread? I could see feast tones here and there. Last year, I thought it might be on the Sabbath during the Feast [of Tabernacles]. And then I thought it might be the Last Great Day last year, but there was so much I didn’t know.

Just because David C. Pack cannot learn from his past mistakes does not excuse the brethren. Keeping all hopeful eyes on Passover again this year is not very wise.



Passover 2021

Part 297 – March 17, 2021
@ 13:37 I’m gonna throw some knock-out punches here that removes all doubt about Christ arriving on Passover.

@ 18:14 I’m gonna give you what I would call another locked-down proof that the Lord Jesus Christ comes the night of the Passover.

Passover 2022

I resigned as a Headquarters employee and member of The Restored Church of God in March 2021.

My personal year of release ended in May 2022, and the exrcg.org website launched in June. From the accounts of brethren who attended RCG during that time, David C. Pack taught Jesus Christ would return on Passover, but no transcripts are currently available.

For those interested in listening to Parts 342 through 366, write exrcgwebsite@gmail.com.

Passover 2023 On Time

Part 432 – April 1, 2023
@ 40:00 So, Christ comes to start Passover. Goes back to get His own Kingdom for the second half of the week. And then comes with His own Kingdom at the end of Passover. Now, that’s simplicity in Christ. And it’s utterly and absolutely inarguable.

Passover 2023 On Delay

Part 435 – April 15, 2023 
@ 06:38 So, you may have thought, and I hope just with this first couple points, I’ve alleviated all doubt about whether the Passover is gone and it’s too late. It is not. In fact, I will show ya this was never ever going to be the Passover of Abib 15. That’s impossible.

Passover 2023 On A Bigger Delay

Part 479 – November 11, 2023
@ 1:23:40 And on the next Tuesday, April 16th, God accepts them. And, then six days later, they’re keeping the Passover on April 22nd next year. It’s inarguable. I tried to be faithful to when I thought years began.

When David C. Pack is wrong, it is best to blame God.

Part 479 – November 11, 2023
@ 1:24:29 And, obviously, God allowed me to go down that road, or we’da we’da been looking for the wrong year or the year we could say, the right year at the very, very wrong time.

When David C. Pack is wrong, it is best to accuse Jesus Christ of blasphemy.

Part 488 – December 30, 2023
@ 1:48:59 I’ma tell ya. This list is ironclad. There’s no shifting it anymore. Or Christ’s first great act is to break the law of God and blaspheme the Passover. Virtually slander His own day.



Passover 2024 To And Fro

Part 489 – January 6, 2024
@ 1:06:43 Okay. Now, let’s imagine. Let’s imagine that everything started on Passover night. Just WHAM! That’s it. Here’s the here are the here are the problems with that. Let’s just imagine. This is just Abib 15 Passover to Abib 15 Passover. WHAM! Here that's so fraught with problem, I could I could go another hour.

Part 490 – January 13, 2024
@ 50:44 What was never clear to me is the Passover locks everything. Forever. And we’d been it all the way back to the Garden… Every year will start at Passover. That’s why God had to, over these recent weeks, get me to see that.

Part 492 – February 3, 2024
@ 00:28 When do years begin? Were WE right to think that it’s Passover? Is this right? Or is it close?

@ 06:13 And I it bothered me terribly. But I was trying to be faithful to the Passover.

@ 11:14 And that bothered me terribly. How could that be? Utter chaos. Utter chaos on the Passover.

Passover Admission With Denial

Part 505 – April 6, 2024
@ 04:29 Okay, for a long time, often muh-more muh-maybe a couple times couple years, WE believed that this would happen on Passover.

@ 1:15:37 My enemies will say, “He prophesied this date.” I did not. I taught you that as surely as I taught you, I teach you to keep the Sabbath.

Sooner Than Passover 2024

Part 506 – April 9, 2024
@ 15:44 So we we we can't get beyond the Passover. We know that. You know that. That's impossible. But the question becomes, do we get to the Passover? We can't get beyond it. Impossible.

@ 34:01 So believe me, believe me, [chuckles] I'm telling you, and I’m we're nowhere near done. But believe me, you can lock this down as Passover. That's what can't tarry.

@ 1:01:10 I'm glad, in a way, I got it wrong because it allowed me to go back and look much more deeply at some exciting things we're gonna get into.

Later Than Passover 2024

Part 509 – April 20, 2024
@ 42:40 But, you want the truth. My job is to tell the truth. And I and I'm just gonna tell you you know enough now if I stop, there's no possible way every iteration of God's Kingdom doesn't come on a New Moon. So, God shifts the Passover to what looks like Iyar 1.



Brethren experiencing great discomfort with what David C. Pack teaches are not being tricked by the devil, suffering from a lack of faith, or wrestling with a stubborn heart. They are aware that what is presented from the Main Hall at Headquarters is saturated in confusing deceit in overwhelming amounts.

Rediscovering A Previous Discovery

Part 506 – April 9, 2024
@ 29:30 So I I. It struck me just like a ton of bricks. Wait a minute, observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover of the Lord... You're guarding the month because of the Passover. Now, that hit me like a ton of bricks.

Part 564 – March 22, 2025
@ 1:40:28 This is why you guard Abib. Not because Abib 1 is important. But, observe the month of Avib and keep the Passover. That’s the immediate emphasis. That’s the immediate emphasis. It points to Passover. That’s why you’re watching Abib.

Passover 2025 All Over Again

Part 560 – March 1, 2025
@ 25:50 Now, I could stop in a in essence and just say, “Look. We we’ve proven that the Day of the Lord is Passover.”

Part 564 – March 22, 2025
@ 1:17:11 I I became convicted about Passover and decided not to wait. But rather to eliminate all doubt for us all.

@ 1:22:59 And you you just a as ya as the as the evidence piles up, see if you think it’s remotely possible. I mean the [mumbles] that it’s not Passover.

The evidence that David C. Pack is not led by God to teach any of this continues to pile up. What the brethren perceive is fair, accurate, and authentic, but fear keeps them locked into their seats.

Some value the social club aspect rather than RCG being “the one true church." As long as members continue paying their tithes and Common, their reason for remaining makes no difference to the hirelings at Headquarters. A doubter's money spends just as well as blind zealots.

Brethren of The Restored Church of God, hear and remember the words of your Pastor General.

Part 206 – September 30, 2019
@ 58:22 I could hope it was Trumpets. I could hope it was Pentecost or Passover, but it we didn't know, and I I don’t ever try to say the day anymore.

The members of The Restored Church of God desperately seek comforting counsel from their field mollusks or remotely honest answers from the cowardly hirelings at Headquarters, but no words are of any satisfaction. There is a reason for this.

David C. Pack is a documented blaspheming hypocritical liar, and the enablers at Headquarters knowingly support his prophetic fraud. Their apologetics are thin and lack substance because what they protect lacks substance and biblical truth.

All eyes are on Passover 2025, but only the foolish believe David C. Pack.


Marc Cebrian:

Will Aaron Dean, who is responsible for the spiritual condition of the Church today, truly repent this Passover and return to the one True Church?

 

The sun is shining brightly in California as another crazy day in the wackiness of Armstrongism marches forward in all its heretical glory.  Currently, Samuel Kitchen, the self-appointed overseer of the one true Worldwide Church of God, is galavanting around Jerusalem, preparing for the arrival of the true faithful to stream into the holy land as they seek protection in Petra before the coming calamities soon to hit the world, particularly to those sinful heretical losers in the United States where Germany will soon be setting up concentration camps.

Despite the Kitchen family's posturing to be the true church and to claim they are NOT its leaders, they essentially are the leaders, but yet are rudderless in a sea of heretical splinter groups who are in direct apostasy from the true church. Someone needs to arise to lead the wayward followers of Herbert Armstrong OUT of the hundreds of splinter groups back into the one true faith, the Worldwide Church of God.

Sadly, the man most favored to do this is committing spiritual adultery by being a member of the United Church of God, a fornicating harlot of the one true faith. That man, Aaron Dean, needs to be cleansed of his sins and it just might happen this Passover if he takes it in true humility and deep repentance.

If Aaron does this, then we will see the emergence of the greatest work the world has ever seen as the TRUE Worldwide Church of God marches forth in power and authority with the TRUE church government power structure in place. The world will receive a witness never seen before.

This Passover promises to be HUGE!!!!!!!!

The leading man of the two witnesses, is following after Zerubbabel, who had the seat of Moses, and was NOT A PRIEST. He was used to restore the ministry!
So you see Christ cleaning up the ministry, who vacated the Worldwide Church of God, through an individual who will lead the other Witness when he is cleaned up.
God is still working one man at a time. It is the second witness who leads the Laodicean era(those who repented too late), during the tribulation and brings the close of the church era.
This is why you see through Joshua in Zechariah 6, along with the faithful, finishing the temple or church age.
Also remember, Joshua was the assistant to Zerubbabel. Like Aaron was assistant to Moses.
Although Aaron was the elder.
So for me, for the man who will fulfill the second witness, it has to an assistant to Mr Armstrong at some point.
So the only one I can think of is Aaron Dean. He is attending with another church, committing fornication with this world, and unable to fulfill ministerial duties in the Worldwide Church of God because he is in another group.
It was Aaron Dean, if you believe his testimony, that Mr Armstrong said “God wants you” concerning the next Pastor General, and it was Aaron Dean who moved things towards Tkach Sr.
Now back to what I believe Tkach Sr seemed to be a Thyatirian, God said the latter work would be greater than the former(Rev 2 says this).
Aaron Dean wrote the January 10, 1986 letter that appeared to have come from Herbert W Armstrong! Mr Armstrong didn’t write it. Aaron Dean wrote it, and in that letter Aaron Dean wrote “the greatest work lies ahead”. It is this sentence that motorized Tkach and every splinter group! They all use it for the reason they Incorporated a new organization!
So Aaron Dean is responsible for the spiritual condition of the Church today.
So he stands in filthy clothes as in Zechariah 3. But he cannot be used until he repents and comes back.
If it isn’t Aaron Dean, I don’t know who it would be. It would be someone of the ministry. Let is examine the fruits.
The first witness God used is outside of the ministry like Zerubbabel was outside the priesthood! The second witness represents the ministry, like Aaron the brother of Moses.
Aaron Dean also cowrote with Mr Armstrong the book Mystery of the Ages. Which I feel is the greatest book outside of the Bible.
So I’m just a laymember of the Worldwide Church of God, but I’m advocating for the restoration of the ministry that has vacated, because they learned through Tkach to fornicate with the civil governments and create new churches.
So I warn the people of God and call for their repentance.
I’m not setting out to start a new group. But I am calling people to return to the original group that Christ organized through Herbert W Armstrong. That Spiritual Temple called the Worldwide Church of God!
Will God soon clean up the individual destined to fulfill the Joshua type in Haggai and Zechariah prophecies?
God points certain things out, and the necessity of REPENTANCE, and the necessity of Christ’s blood to make one clean and ready for the job!
Perhaps Passover 2025 is that year?
Concerning God inspiring Mr Armstrong to choose Tkach Sr as Pastor General…we must examine what was stopped through Tkach Sr.
Under this man in Church Administration, his son Joe Tkach Jr and assistant Victor Kubik, added a new REGIONAL STRUCTURE above the field ministry, designed for the purpose of giving the ministry a voice, plus input towards church decisions. That is something Victor Kubik admitted in his “Ground Zero” series on Kubik.org.
This new structure had a roadblock. Through the concentration of power and authority to one man, which Jesus Christ gave to Mr Armstrong and passed on to Joseph Tkach Sr, that “regional structure” was unable to take over the Worldwide Church of God! Yes, Tkach sinned against God and departed from Jesus Christ, but he was chosen for a purpose.
When Victor Kubik ran into this roadblock, he exited and vacated the Worldwide Church of God, taking that regional structure and forming a new church called the United Church of God!
And so we see the roots of every departure the United Church of God has came from this new regional structure!
They were forced to exit and form a separate church using such a structure! Otherwise it would have taken over the Worldwide Church of God! Made it more democratic, just like the liberals in the 1970’s attempted to accomplish through GTA!
We can’t ignore the fruits of this tree.
And Mr Dean has been seduced into this group, unable to perform his ministerial duties within the Worldwide Church of God, and only dealing with the younger next generation as Dean of a College.
It’s something to discuss, pray about and to remember.
Because Satan has been clever! He wants to destroy this Church! But let us remember and always recall, that God is restoring, and building! His Word can never be broken!

AI-COG: Comparing Cults: Armstrongism vs. Hebrew Roots Armstrongism and the Hebrew Roots Movement: Two Peas in a Legalistic Pod

In the same vein as our previous article about the Sacred Name Movement, we also wanted to expose the similarities of Armstrongism with the Hebrew Roots Movement.


When one cultic movement isn't enough, why not jump to another one that preaches the same legalistic gospel? This is precisely what many former Armstrongites do when they leap into the Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM). The transition feels seamless, almost as if Armstrongism were a mere gateway drug to an even deeper obsession with Old Testament legalism. In this article, we'll explore the striking similarities between these two groups, their shared disdain for orthodox Christianity, and why both movements ultimately fail to grasp the gospel of Jesus Christ.

A Shared Love for the Old Testament (and a Deep Suspicion of the New) Both Armstrongism and the Hebrew Roots Movement treat the Old Testament as if it were the pinnacle of God's revelation, while viewing the New Testament as a somewhat sketchy, heavily Greek-influenced afterthought. Sure, Jesus is acknowledged, but He tends to be relegated to the role of "law enforcer" rather than Savior. Instead of seeing Christ as the fulfillment of the law (Matthew 5:17), they see Him as the guy who came to make sure we all eat kosher and keep the Sabbath properly.

The HRM, much like Armstrongism, teaches that Christians must keep the Torah, arguing that the early church went astray by abandoning its Jewish roots. This is remarkably similar to Herbert W. Armstrong's claim that "traditional Christianity" was corrupted by pagan influences, necessitating a "restored" understanding of God's truth (which, conveniently, he alone rediscovered).

The Obsession with the Sabbath and Holy Days If there's one thing Armstrongites and Hebrew Rooters can bond over, it's their shared disdain for Sunday worship. In both groups, Sabbath-keeping is not just a preference—it’s the ultimate litmus test for true believers. If you worship on Sunday, you’re practically bowing before the sun god Baal.

Armstrongism and the HRM both demand adherence to Old Testament feast days, claiming they are still binding. Armstrongites take their calendar straight from the playbook of HWA, while HRM followers often dabble in rabbinic calculations to determine when exactly to blow their shofars and bake their unleavened bread. Either way, both groups live under the illusion that God is far more concerned with whether you fast on the right day than whether you understand the gospel.

Dietary Laws: The True Measure of Holiness One of the most ridiculous ways both groups measure righteousness is through diet. Armstrongites won’t touch pork or shellfish, and HRM folks do the same—but with extra zeal, often adopting full kosher observance. In their world, nothing screams "true believer" like scrutinizing food labels for hidden pork gelatin while ignoring the weightier matters of faith, grace, and love.

Paul’s rebuke of dietary legalism in Colossians 2:16? Must be a mistranslation! Instead of reading Scripture in context, both movements cling to Leviticus 11 as if it were the gospel itself.

Hebrew Name Obsession In classic cultic fashion, both Armstrongism and the HRM have a thing for linguistic exclusivism. Armstrongites insist on calling Jesus "the Word" or "the Eternal," while Hebrew Rooters insist that only "Yeshua" (or some other variation like Yahushua) is the proper name for the Messiah.

Dare to say "Jesus"? You might as well be invoking Zeus! Never mind that the apostles wrote the New Testament in Greek and referred to Him as Iēsous—these groups prefer their own reconstructed "pure" names, as if God refuses to hear prayers uttered in anything other than the cult mandated terminology.

Authority Issues: Who Needs the Church? Another shared trait is a deep distrust of church history and traditional Christian doctrine. Armstrongism teaches that all churches except their own are deceived by Satan, and the HRM promotes a similar narrative—claiming that Christianity lost its way by embracing Greek philosophy and abandoning Jewish customs.

Both groups revel in being "set apart" from mainstream Christianity, convinced they alone hold the truth. This results in endless theological rabbit holes, as members constantly debate calendars, Hebrew pronunciations, and other trivialities while missing the entire point of the gospel.

Legalism vs. the Gospel At the core of both Armstrongism and the Hebrew Roots Movement is the same fundamental error: a failure to grasp the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross. Instead of embracing salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), they insist on returning to the yoke of the law, despite Paul’s clear warnings against it (Galatians 5:1-4).

Their obsession with Old Testament law keeps them from experiencing the freedom found in Christ. They see grace not as the power of salvation but as a mere "helping hand" to keep the law better. This is why so many who move from Armstrongism to Hebrew Roots simply exchange one form of bondage for another.

Conclusion: From One Cult to Another The Hebrew Roots Movement is, in many ways, just Armstrongism with more shofars and Hebrew terminology. Both reject the gospel of grace in favor of legalistic rule-keeping. Both see themselves as the "one true remnant." And both twist Scripture to fit their own pre-determined theological conclusions.

Ultimately, the real gospel—the one found in Scripture—teaches that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It’s not about feast days, Sabbath-keeping, or avoiding bacon. It’s about trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Anything else is just another dead-end road paved with self-righteousness and spiritual pride.
