Infallible Crackpot Prophet Condemns Wade Cox As A False Prophet


It is another glittering day in the sparkling paradise that is COGland—truly, the excitement never stops. Behold, God's Own Most Infallible Prophet™ (patent pending), the greatest seer to ever grace the planet with his holy footsteps, is currently experiencing a full-on public meltdown because Wade Cox—gasp—dared to exist. Yes, he has bravely declared Wade a "false prophet." Shocking revelation, we know; no one saw that coming in a million years.

But wait—plot twist!—there's apparently an even juicier scandal bubbling under the surface that even our flawless Bwana Bob can't quite memory-hole. Ever since Wade casually announced that Sosten Libungwa was sniffing around his Malawi franchises looking for a better parking spot, our dear Infallible One has thrown the most dignified, prophet-level hissy fit imaginable, complete with frantic denials and righteous sputtering.

Look, as colossal a fraud as Wade Cox may be (and let's be honest, the bar is subterranean), I'd still trust his version of the Sosten soap opera over Bwana Bob's any day of the week. Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows Sosten treats church groups like an all-you-can-eat buffet: spot the next generous Muzungu sugar daddy, latch on, drain resources, repeat. Bonus points if he can work two or three franchises simultaneously—our Infallible host apparently being one of the lucky winners. Sources (the kind that actually talk) whisper that Sosten is now being questioned about his loyalty in Bobville, and—miracle of miracles—even Wade is side-eyeing him. Who knew?

Funny how so many of these sharp African church leaders can spot a COG delegation from outer space… yet somehow still swallow the honeyed promises hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, and fisherman. But fear not: the fault lies not with the dear, sincere regular members just trying to follow God. No, no—the real stench is coming strictly from the top-tier "leaders," especially the ones cozying up to the various Infallible Bwanas Bob. Stay tuned; I've got some spicy emails in the queue. Just waiting on the holy green light to unleash them.

The absolute best part? Our Infallible Bob can spot a "Satan-deceived false prophet" at fifty paces when it's Wade Cox, Ron Weinland, Dave Pack, or Gerald Flurry. But ask him to turn that laser gaze inward? Suddenly the mirror is broken, the lights are off, and wow, would you look at the time—he's the single most righteous, truthful, accurate, end-time prophet the world has ever been blessed to endure. What a coincidence. Truly the humility is overwhelming. 

Infallible Bwana Bob writes:

For over a decade, I have denounced wrong chronologies and other matters from CCG’s Wade Cox

He then goes onto list several of Wade Cox's false prophets (all of which we have highlighted on thsi blog inteh past):

2018- 2022 Two Witnesses of Revelation 11:2 prophesy over the same time and the earth is subdued by the wars of the fifth and sixth trumpet at the same time. Trumpets The Heavenly Signs 
 
2022-2024 Advent of Messiah 
 
2022-2024 The fall of the nations and the battles of Armageddon. … 
 
2021-2022 Passover is the probable last time for the two Witnesses to be in place in Jerusalem. Droughts of the two Witnesses commence. 
 
2024 Probable last date for the return of the Messiah …

And this:

2018-2024 Period of the Witnesses and the Advent of the King-Messiah at Jerusalem. 
 
2027 Jubilee of the end of the age. 
 
2028 Millennial rule from Jerusalem.

1916-1948 Establishment of the Jewish homeland. 
 
2021-2027 Return of the King.

2027 The fortieth Jubilee of the Sign of Jonah. Every rule and every authority and every religious system of this world or of this age is destroyed. 
 
2028 The millennial system commences under the Law of God.


2022-2025 Messiah intervenes and subjugates the nations. 
 
2027/28 Fortieth Jubilee year. Messiah takes total rule of the planet. 
 
2028 First year of the Jubilee of Jubilees since the Reading of the Law with Ezra and Nehemiah.

2023/4-2026/7 Witnesses arrive and teach for 1260 days; they are killed and lie in the streets for three days. They are resurrected and rise to meet Messiah. False prophet killed; First Resurrection of the dead.

2026 and 2027

2027 Subjugation of the planet under the seven vials of the wrath of God and the battles of Armageddon. The European system is destroyed then the kings of the East are brought down over the dried up basin of the Euphrates to the valley of Jezreel.

2027 The second exodus of Israel. Subjugation of the planet under the seven vials of the wrath of God and the battles of Armageddon. The European system is destroyed then the kings of the East are brought down over the dried up basin of the Euphrates to the valley of Jezreel. 
 
2027 The fortieth Jubilee since Messiah and the forty-ninth since the second Temple and the restoration under Ezra and Nehemiah 
 
2028 First year of the Jubilee of Jubilees; the beginning of the Millennium

Infallible Bwana Bob then adds:

There is no possibility that the millennium can begin before 2033. Many of the other events pointed to have simply not happened. Wade Cox will be proven wrong on the millennium, jubilee, and other matters. Certain events that Jesus pointed to have not yet occurred which render Wade Cox’s dates impossible. 
 
Some have been critical of me pointing out false predictions from people who claim to be Church of God, but who are probably not truly COG, but instead are false. Because of its denial of Jesus’ divinity, I do not consider that CCG is truly a COG. 
 
Truly, in the grand hierarchy of Armstrongist enlightenment, there is only one beacon of unerring truth: Infallible Bob. Everyone else—literally everyone—is tragically, hilariously wrong. Always. Forever. If poor Wade Cox doesn't qualify as a real COG (shocker), then obviously Bob's own charisma-free personality cult doesn't count either. Rules for thee, but not for me—classic.

And the sermon rolls on! Our humble prophet graciously reminds his dwindling band of readers that he—and he alone—is the sole living embodiment of Jesus' righteous smackdown style when it comes to handling those pesky false COG leaders. What a selfless servant. How very Christ-like to call out every other self-appointed apostle, false prophet, and end-time pretender by name… while somehow forgetting to glance in the mirror and notice the guy wearing the exact same crown of infallible self-appointment. Pure coincidence, I'm sure. The humility practically radiates off the screen.
 
Remember how Jesus dealt with religious leaders (Matthew 7:15-23) and/or Laodiceans (Revelation 3:14-19). If the claims seem improperly prophetic or exceptionally bold, I tend to cite 2 Peter 2:1-3. 
 
Should we be concerned about false and heretical leaders? Should they always be ignored? Should we focus on the positive about them? What did Jesus do? What does the Bible teach? 
 
Many people do not seem to understand what Jesus was really like and what He really taught.
While it is true He taught, “love your enemies” and to “pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44), it is a misunderstanding to believe that Jesus taught that one could never point out the problems of religious enemies (and yes, we should still pray for them). 
 
And lo, the Infallible One presses onward in his sacred duty, dutifully compiling the exhaustive, irrefutable, mountain of positive "proofs" that—surprise, surprise—his little flock is, in fact, the One True Philadelphia Church of God. Not just any Philadelphian remnant, mind you. The real deal. Infallible. Untouchable. Beyond even the faintest whisper of reproach. Truly, the heavens themselves must pause in awe.

In a moment of peak self-anointment, he crowns himself yet another glittering title: modern-day Jude, defender of the faith, righteous thunderbolt of condemnation. Picture it: our humble prophet charging across the COG landscape like a one-man inquisition, zealously running around pointing fingers and pronouncing doom on every other group that dares to exist outside his perfect jurisdiction. How very Jude-like. How very… selective. Because nothing says "contending earnestly for the faith" quite like making sure everyone else is wrong while your own track record remains miraculously spotless in the mirror of your mind.

The consistency is almost artistic. Almost.

...Jude was not afraid to tell the truth about some false leaders who claimed to be Church of God Christians as well as about leaders who are mainly intent on building a following after themselves. 
 
That said, while I doubt the conversion of various false ones like Wade Cox, David Pack, Gerald Flurry, and Ron Weiland and do NOT consider that they are truly COG, some people attempt to practice the “guilt by association” game. This is an old Satanic tactic. The Bible teaches that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:9-10), and we have seen his allies do the same as some like to lump the true in with the false in order to try to tarnish the true.

And just when you thought the sermon couldn't get any more gilded, the Infallible One trots out his trusty emergency backup validator: none other than Norm Edwards, the ever-reliable heretical apologist whose end-time prophecy credentials are apparently so rock-solid that quoting him instantly confers prophetic legitimacy. Because nothing screams "I'm God's one true mouthpiece" quite like leaning on a fellow traveler who's been comfortably outside the mainstream COG tent for years. It's the theological equivalent of saying, "Trust me, bro—Norm says I'm legit, and Norm's basically an oracle." Pure, unfiltered gold-star self-endorsement.

Meanwhile, the Bible—poor, overlooked thing—lays out one embarrassingly straightforward test for guys who keep announcing themselves as prophets: get even ONE prophecy wrong and you're done. Not "mostly right," not "spiritually fulfilled in mysterious ways," not "it'll happen any decade now." One swing and a miss = false prophet, full stop. Deuteronomy 18 doesn't mince words; it just hands out the red card.

So how's our Infallible Bob doing on the prophecy batting average? A pristine, gleaming .000. Zero hits, zero walks, zero anything resembling accuracy. The man has swung for the fences on dates, events, timelines, and dramatic fulfillments… and somehow managed to whiff every single time. Yet here he stands, still waving the prophetic bat like it's Opening Day, still quoting his cherry-picked cheerleaders, still declaring himself the last man standing in Philadelphia while the scoreboard flashes nothing but goose eggs.

At this point, the only miracle left is the sheer stamina required to keep pretending the mirror doesn't exist. Infallible? Sure—if the definition of infallible is "never once been right, but never once doubted himself." Ladies and gentlemen, that's not prophecy; that's performance art. And the COG audience keeps buying tickets. 

In the meantime, back to reading the letters about Sosten. More delicacies to come!

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.

Brother Against Brother: Why Is The Church of God So Divisive?



Why is it that so many of the people lecturing us today on how great they are at restoring "the truth once delivered" turn out to come from families with damaged relationships? Consider Herbert Armstrong, who alienated all of his children; Bob Thiel, with his damaged relationship with his father and family; Dave Pack, who alienated all of his children and grandchildren; and now the Kitchen family.

Samuel Kitchen has spent years waxing poetic about what an amazing father and mother he had, and how they faithfully stuck to the roots of Herbert's message without ever straying, despite numerous ministers and government officials who tried to silence them.

After Samuel's epic failure with his Petra escapade several years ago, his relationship with his brothers deteriorated. He shared too much information about them online, which caused an estrangement with his brother Tim. 

Now Samuel has written a song about his wayward brother, who is now part of the United Church of God. Tim now runs exclusive control of the Worldwide Church of God archives site, which previously was managed by both him and Samuel.

It is truly sad to watch those who take Armstrongism to the extreme and see how it destroys families and relationships. Instead of turning the hearts of the children to their fathers and the fathers to their children, it has built a huge wall that separates them.

Dear lord I come before you now
On my knees, before you I do bow
I pray for a brother who just does not see
Any worth or value that you see in me

Let my rival learn your love and your way!
Let my rival learn your peace and how to be brave 
Dear lord please bless him I don’t want to see him hurt
Oh show him what you do for me every day
He may be my rival, but not for long, for him I do pray…

Dear lord, I am hurt by his words, 
Oh how I ache to see him return
He is my family and he just doesn’t see
All the worth and value that you see in me

Let my rival learn your love and your way!
Let my rival learn your peace and how to be brave 
Dear lord please bless him I don’t want to see him hurt
Oh show him what you do for me every day
He may be my rival, but not for long, for him I do pray…

What can I do to heal this breach?
What can I change to help my brother see?
I seem to be his enemy, but here I pray 
Humble me and keep me in thy way

Let my rival learn your love and your way!
Let my rival learn your peace and how to be brave 
Dear lord please bless him I don’t want to see him hurt
Oh show him what you do for me every day
He may be my rival, but not for long, for him I do pray…

Let my rival learn your love and your way!
Let my rival learn your peace and how to be brave 
Dear lord please bless him I don’t want to see him hurt
Oh show him what you do for me every day
He may be my rival, but not for long, for him I do pray…

You can listen to his video here: My Rival

I was looking at some online sites about why churches are breeding grounds for unbalanced beliefs and actions, and why they treat each other so badly. This is some of what I found:

Some churches appear unbalanced in their beliefs (e.g., extreme doctrines, black-and-white thinking, or rigid rules) and in how they treat people (e.g., harsh judgment, control, division, or lack of compassion) because certain groups function more like high-control or authoritarian religious environments than healthy, balanced faith communities. This imbalance often stems from structural, psychological, and social dynamics that prioritize power, conformity, and exclusivity over grace, mutual respect, and relational health.

What should we expect from a church that worships at the base of the altar of the law and which flippantly discredits grace? When did the Church of God leaders EVER exhibit mutual respect? I could count those times on one hand, even after having all of my fingers amputated. When has the church, from its leaders down to its members, had relational health?

Armstrongism often results in deep personal, familial, and relational damage precisely because its unbalanced beliefs create a high-control environment that prioritizes doctrinal purity, absolute loyalty to the leader/group, and separation from the "world" over healthy relationships, grace, and emotional well-being.
These unbalanced elements—rooted in absolutism, fear-based obedience, and rigid hierarchies—don't just lead to theological extremes; they actively erode family bonds and human connections in ways that many former members describe as devastating. 

Here are some of the points why this happens so consistently:
    "Us vs. Them" and Isolation from Outsiders — Armstrongism teaches that mainstream Christianity is deceived or pagan-influenced, and only the group holds the "true" restored gospel. This fosters extreme separation: members are discouraged or forbidden from close ties with non-believers, including family members who don't join or who leave. Holidays like Christmas, Easter, or birthdays are labeled pagan, so families who celebrate them face pressure to cut contact. The result? Marriages break, children are alienated from parents/siblings, and extended families fracture—often justified as "obeying God" over human ties.
    Strict Obedience and Authority Structures — Leadership (especially the founder or current "apostle/prophet/chief overseer/pastor general") is seen as God's direct mouthpiece. Questioning doctrine or leaders is equated with rebellion against God, leading to harsh discipline like disfellowshipping. This creates fear: members may report on each other, avoid associating with "dissidents," or prioritize church loyalty over family. Former members frequently report that family members were pressured to shun relatives who doubted, left, or were deemed "Laodicean" (lukewarm). This directly contradicts biblical ideals like turning "the hearts of the fathers to the children" (Malachi 4:6), instead building walls of division.
    Divorce/Remarriage and Family Rules — Historical doctrines (e.g., strict rules on divorce/remarriage, sometimes requiring people to leave second marriages) caused immense pain. Even after some changes, splinter groups often retain rigid views that prioritize doctrinal conformity over reconciliation. Combined with tithing demands that strained finances, this led to poverty, stress, and broken homes for many.
    Fear, Guilt, and Cognitive Dissonance — Prophecies of imminent end-times (e.g., failed dates like 1975) created urgency and fear. When prophecies failed or leaders showed hypocrisy, members often doubled down on extremes to resolve inner conflict, becoming more judgmental or isolated. This mindset justifies harsh treatment of "backsliders" or worse, "Laodiceans,"  which may include family, as tough love or necessary separation from sin.
    Patterns in Leadership and Splinters — Herbert Armstrong had documented family alienation, including rifts with his son Garner Ted (who was ousted amid scandals). Many offshoots show similar issues: leaders like Dave Pack have faced accusations of alienating children/grandchildren through disfellowshipping or control; others like Bob Thiel or various Kitchen family dynamics reflect strained relationships tied to doctrinal disputes or group loyalty. Ex-members' accounts (from forums, books, and sites like The Painful Truth or ex-WCG communities) repeatedly describe ruined childhoods, lost family ties, emotional abuse, and generational trauma—often because the group demanded total allegiance.
In healthier faith communities, beliefs allow room for grace, forgiveness, doubt, and family priority—even amid strong convictions. Armstrongism's unbalanced emphasis on exclusivity, control, and "restored truth" at any cost turns relationships into battlegrounds: loyalty to the group trumps blood ties, compassion gives way to judgment, and love becomes conditional on doctrinal alignment.
The irony is painful: a theology centered on God as a "family" (the God Family doctrine) often produces the opposite in human families—division, estrangement, and lasting wounds. Many who leave describe it as finally finding freedom to love and heal without the fear-driven walls. If this connects to personal experiences, it's a common story in Armstrongist circles, and recognizing these patterns is often the start of recovery.

Dave Pack's Regret-O-Meter

 


David C. Pack's Part 617 Regret-O-Meter

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God created a doctrinal minefield when he delivered "The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)" on January 17, 2026. Part 618 was given on January 24, and the Pastor General completely decimated the relevance of the entire previous message. The substance of Part 617 was gutted, creating very uncomfortable moments and regrettable statements when watched in the context of what came after. The Regret-O-Meter counts some of those examples, all taken from a single message.

One week after Part 617, David C. Pack reversed or erased his teachings, including which day the Kingdom comes, the arrangement and timing of Daniel's 1335/1290 days, the relevance of the Hebrew month Shevat, crediting God with what he taught, and how the Mystery of God was ending with his "big" revelations. Part 617 became a worthless hole of doctrinal errors, and the Regret-O-Meter tallies them.

Dave Pack Comedy Show: The Kingdom Will NOT Come on February 1 or 2, 2026!

 


RCG/Dave Pack News Flash:
The Kingdom Will NOT Come on February 1 or 2, 2026

Proving how often the prophetic picture changes in The Restored Church of God, even David C. Pack cannot remember what he taught the week before. During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 618)” on January 24, 2026, the Pastor General boldly announced that the Kingdom and the 1335 of Daniel would NOT begin on Shevat 16, which is February 2, 2026.

This is theological comedy since he changed the date anticipated for God's plan to kick into motion to Shevat 15 on February 1 during Part 617. This is what happens when you have to keep throwing out your notes. But it looks especially bad when even the guy who teaches this malarkey forgets what he just said. 

Maybe Dave is not getting enough sleep because studying the Bible until 2 AM is so effective.

Either way, Part 618 is loaded with “proofs” why nothing will happen until Abib (March). Even after presenting all the evidence why things will NOT happen in February, he refused to formally announce a new date. He typically does this when he is stalling.

The Kingdom Will NOT Come on February 1 or 2, 2026!


Many do not like watching these videos because they cannot stand Dave. I get it. But it illustrates the worsening theological conditions inside The Restored Church of God and Dave's mental deterioration. The Pastor General cannot keep track of what he teaches, embarrassing himself throughout the message, and renouncing the wrong date.

The fact that he never realized this proves that exrcg.org keeps a better track of Dave than Dave does.

Because of the drastic changes in Part 618, Dave’s apostolic fist pump in Part 617 aged as well as expected and is funnier today than it was then, ready to achieve viral meme status.

Flashback Part 617 – January 17, 2026
@ 01:32:00 
We got it. We got it!

Um. Not so much.

Part 618 is chock full of regrettable statements and embarrassing moments when compared what he said the week before. Dave spent the first 30 minutes telling grossly distorted stories about members who just left, and he formally marked former RCG minister Ken Orel and his wife for reasons he refused to make fully clear. Ken's status being upgraded to "evil," and the inaccurate stories of the people who left recently will be covered later.

Part 618 – January 24, 2026
@ 55:37 Watch how simple this is. It's gonna shock you. You're gonna know, you understand. You 
you're gonna know and know that you know, in about two minutes, when the date we're waiting for.

@ 58:02 Now, if the other two ends are a civil year in the middle and Abib at the end, then the Kingdom has to begin on AbibIf you knew nothing else, it's impossible to read it any other way.

David C. Pack from last week disagreed. The Kingdom table blocks were shuffled and reshuffled for the third week in a row, adding a confusing visual component to a confusing explanation.


@ 59:37 It’s impossible. Oh, and there's so much more to learn. It's impossible that's not the length of the Kingdom [1290/1290].

@ 1:00:10 There are two ways that God can show me whether the 1335 is in the Kingdom. He can prove it's impossible, that it's outside. That would do it. But He could also do it by showing certain new things that proves it's inside. …So I just proved to you, it cannot be in front of the Kingdom. We cannot be waiting for the middle of Shevat. It's impossible.

Multiple Commandments broken in 3…2…1…

@ 1:01:08 But could the 1335 be in the [7-Year] Kingdom? …I've learned, it has to be. It has to be.

Flashback 616 – January 10, 2026
@ 51:53 
The 1335, on God's authority, I'm telling you, is not in the in the Seven Years [Kingdom].

Once again, David C. Pack shows no fear of God while he blasphemes, swears falsely, and takes the Lord’s name in vain. This will not be the last time. May God have mercy on him.

Part 618 – January 24, 2026
@ 1:12:45 The Kingdom cannot come ‘til March 18th.

@ 1:20:50 But I been wrong on timing, so it's not Esther's Fast. Seven years ago. I wonder. Wow, seven years ago. We fast in 2019. …A case for Shevat 16. So let me just tell you, nothing is gonna happen on Shevat 16 or Esther's Fast. But there's there was at this enormous and ever-growing, constantly growing case for Abib developing in the background.

@ 1:22:44 And I no longer see any Kingdom case before Abib. So it's over. And you just only know a fraction of what I'm gonna yet go on to tell you.

David C. Pack loves toying with the brethren, leading them on, teasing them, and manipulating them. It is bad enough when some few still earnestly try to understand his malarkey. Even though the All-Believing Zealots are still in his corner, the Pastor General likes to spit in their faces because he can.

@ 1:31:31 But are we also looking for something before Abib that no one anticipates? Before Abib? I'm not saying we are, but I'm way, way, way beyond suspicious about how to reconcile about 35 to 40 verses with the current picture. And as as the picture sits, it won't fit. But Abib 1, March 18th, the fifth day of the week, cannot bend. And if that's what we have to wait to, fine. I'm very suspicious of something else, and we now know it's not a First Kingdom, so.

Part 618 exemplifies the Series's blaring contradictions and why nobody in RCG, except for Dave’s inner circle, has any clue what he is talking about or what is considered the present truth. It is no wonder that field mollusks Ernesto Velarde and Richard Lee cannot explain the Series to concerned brethren. One man who just left RCG told me Ernesto said, "I have the same questions," and he tried to defer him to Jaco Viljoen at Headquarters. The member decided to bail out instead, despite Andrew Holcombe’s best efforts. Wise man.

With three additional Parts given in just the last four days, rest assured, there will be more changes, more bungles, and more confusion. I am curious to see if David C. Pack will remember what he just said.

Restored Church of God Members Are Already Godlike


Imagine belonging to a church that proudly proclaims its members possess godlike qualities—that they actually resemble God Himself—yet the very God they claim to follow apparently isn't sharp enough to clue their infallible leader, Dave Pack, in on the correct date for Christ's return to Wadsworth. Seriously, how divine must that deity be if He keeps fumbling the biggest announcement in cosmic history, week after week, year after year?

Is that really the kind of God you aspire to emulate? The one whose "image" includes getting the return date wrong so many times it's practically a hobby? I'd take a stadium packed with ordinary Christians—hands raised, hearts humbly aware they've never quite measured up, yet utterly confident in the grace and mercy that's been lavished on them anyway—over a smug little enclave of self-righteous, pompous pseudo-saints in Wadsworth any day. The ones who keep spinning fresh lies to their followers, sermon after sermon, failure after failure, all while preening about how superior and godlike they are.

Now, be honest: which group actually looks more like the real God— the humble, grace-dependent crowd, or the perpetually wrong, endlessly self-congratulating one?


We Are God-like - Carl Houk (The Restored Church of God) Carl Houk is a minister under David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God. This was a sermon titled "Becoming "Profit-able" Servants" given on September 27, 2025. He claims the world is full of ungodly people following a false Jesus while they (members of The Restored Church of God) are God-like and resemble God and have the qualities of God. David C. Pack and his enablers teach firmly that they are God's chosen ones. Anyone outside of this church, therefore, is following Satan and is ungodly.

Dave Pack Changes His Mind again - New Date Kingdom Arrives Is February 1, 2026

 

RCG/Dave Pack Newsflash:
The Kingdom Comes on February 1, 2026.
But Don't Fall In Love With That Idea.

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God is the consummate fool, inventing his own folly. Desperately clinging to the notion that he is being led by God to teach the ever-changing nonsense falling from his lips, he reimagines his own discoveries for the sake of maintaining the illusion of prophetic relevance.

During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)” on January 17, 2026, the Pastor General shifted the arrival of the Kingdom to February 1 instead of February 2. Shevat 15 just fits better, don’tcha know?

The Kingdom Will Come on February 1, 2026!


The revised Kingdom sequence and clarified arrival date left the Pastor General intoxicated by his own supreme, apostolic confidence, even though he had to burn much of last week’s material.

In one of THE BEST David C. Pack meme-worthy moments, the faux Elijah grimaces and fist pumps his certainty of the revised Kingdom structure and that it will all begin on Shevat 15, February 1. This will undoubtedly become the most regrettable performance of his spiritually fraudulent career.

Part 617 – January 17, 2026
@ 01:32:00 We got it. We got it!

For those who would like the raw, isolated video clip for your own creative purposes, please write exrcgwebsite@gmail.com.

There were quite a few gems sprinkled throughout Part 617.

@ 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.

@ 1:09:03 So, now comes the very greatest proof the 1335 comes in mid-Shevat and on the 15th, not the 16th. On, therefore, February 1st, what would be a Sunday morning here, not February 2nd, a Monday morning.

@ 22:06 Sort of like getting the 1335 out of the Kingdom and in front of it. You hafta to make sure that when you did that, you didn't build the 45-day kingdom in front of it. And the fact is, we did not, but I need to dissolve some of the things I thought were proofs.

“The Greatest Untold Story!” Series is wall-to-wall with what David C. Pack thought were proofs.

@ 40:30 I may not get everything right, but I come back around, and eventually, it's right, and it's clear.

@ 45:07 Now I can understand, and this is big that we're all fulfilling prophecy. It's one of the great proofs that we can't have very long.

Dave spent the majority of Part 616 reestablishing the three-kingdom structure by introducing a new 45-day First Kingdom, which he coined as the "Sour Grapes Kingdom." It was based on so much overwhelming biblical truth, inarguable proofs, and a correct understanding of the Bible that Dave recanted it seven days later.

@ 1:05:24 So there's no kingdom. You can just—I'm sorry you had to think for a for a whole week about a 45-day kingdom. I was tryin’ to figure this out. If you're trying to pin down what there has to be a year involved. Are we still waiting to March 18th somehow?

For a man who claims to fear God, he shows no fear of God as he continually credits the Almighty as the inspiration for RCG’s temporary doctrines. The most uncomfortable thing I experienced in The Restored Church of God was watching David C. Pack lie to the brethren during Sabbath Services, taking the Lord’s name in vain, bearing false witness, and blaspheming without hesitation.

During Part 617, Dave abandoned what he preached under God’s authority the week before. I wonder if he ever ponders the implications of publicly making his god a liar and a cruel trickster.

@ 03:25 God shocked me with sudden, massive evidence hidden in His word regarding the 1290 protection point in the Kingdomnot the 1335 days that would be to the Day of the Lord.

@ 1:26:39 It's incredible. It's incredible. It leaves me stunned. This brilliant Being. We serve the right God. This absolutely brilliant Being laid all of this out.

@ 1:30:44 It was a high hill to climb. But God just eventually said it was time to end the Mystery, because we're coming up on February 1st.

@ 1:47:02 So much was at stake in getting this right to the God who talks about trees all the time. You had to get it right, or you'd have chaos. You'd have confusion. God would have to establish it.

God is not motivating these doctrines. The Holy Spirit is not revealing any of these teachings. David C. Pack is a false teacher, a false apostle, and a false prophet inspired by his own thirst for legitimacy. The fruit of his works reveals the truth of this matter.

@ 1:56:09 More proofs of February 1 and and a few miscellaneous things will come next week. …Because the Kingdom begins Sunday morning. At least, Sunday morning our time.

The Pastor General cannot even be trusted with what he will do next week. The willfully blind joy and undeserved adulation from the All-Believing Zealots in The Restored Church of God were short-lived. One week later, the February 1 Kingdom bubble popped and vanished as quickly as Dave's credibility.

Part 618 – January 24, 2026
@ 1:00:31 We cannot be waiting for the middle of Shevat. It’s impossible.

Insert your favorite The Price is Right failure music here. And keep it on loop.

The brethren awaiting the kingdom their human idol preaches will not see it in Shevat or Abib or at any time henceforth. Holding on until the “next time” is how RCG brethren cope, and fewer are willing to do so. Four people left RCG this week, with more on the way. The trickle, trickle of tithe-payers out the door is a troublesome reality that even Dave cannot deny. More on that later.

I will Send Dave Pack To Restore All Things


 God promised he would send an end-time messenger, who is named David, to the world, and here he is! Woo Hoo!

Poor Bwana Bob. Here, he thought he was God's gift to humanity, and he has been usurped by Dave, of all people. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

Dave has restored the whole plan of prophecy and everything that had been lost since the Apostles.

He has restored ALL things.


During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)” on January 17, 2026, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God explained how he fulfills the role of Elijah the Prophet mentioned in the Book of Malachi, who is sent by God to “restore all things.” 

When the Pastor General mentions Elijah or speaks of a biblical figure from the third-person perspective, he is referring to himself. RCG members are well aware of this. The green arrows assist when he appears to be speaking about someone else, but is in actuality, preaching about himself. 

This 13-minute video illustrates what The Restored Church of God teaches behind closed doors and does not want non-members to know. Despite the numerous videos and literature offered on the RCG website, none of the information taught on January 17, 2026, is available for public review. 

David C. Pack and the ministers at The Restored Church of God teach that these verses are about David C. Pack: 

Malachi 4:5—Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD 

Matthew 17:11—And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Dave Pack: Its Now February 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 


Societies are breaking down in Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, and it all comes to an end on February 2nd!
Oh noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron Dean: Most Of You Failed The Test When HWA Died

 

Screenshot credit from a retired highly placed NASA employee

Oh, pray tell, how is it possible that all you miserable, Laodicean-leaning reprobates—you who have so callously and wickedly spurned the sacred truths of Armstrongism—still can't wrap your spiritually-blinded little heads around the obvious fact that you were supposed to cling desperately to the ONE TRUE FAITH, exactly as the saintly, unflinching Aaron Dean has done with such superhuman loyalty all these decades?

I mean, really? You failed the test. Spectacularly. Catastrophically. Woe unto you, you wretched, backsliding, lukewarm Laodiceans! The clock is ticking, judgment is at the door, and you have but a pitifully short sliver of time left to fall on your faces in tearful, gut-wrenching repentance and crawl back to the one true faith before the Great Tribulation turns you all into crispy spiritual toast.

But—hold everything—which glorious "one true faith" would that even be, exactly? Enlighten us, O wise ones! Is it the dusty remnants of the original Worldwide Church of God (you know, the one that politely imploded and became Grace Communion International overnight)? Or perhaps the United Church of God (where Aaron Dean himself actually serves, because apparently that's where the purest remnant landed... or did it?)? No, wait—surely it's the Living Church of God, with its endless video sermons and dramatic warnings? Or the Philadelphia Church of God, guardians of the sacred copyrights and Malachi's Message? Maybe the Restored Church of God, where Dave Pack is still busy "restoring" everything by demanding your house, your savings, and your firstborn? Or how about the Continuing Church of God, Bob Thiel's ever-growing YouTube empire of "continuing" what everyone else supposedly lost? Don't forget the Church of God International, or any of the dozen other microscopic splinters claiming exclusive divine appointment.

Go ahead—pick one. Any one. Because surely one of these glorious outfits has managed to set a shining, consistent Christian example of grace, love, humility, forgiveness, and actual brotherly kindness without descending into yet another round of lawsuits, character assassinations, power grabs, doomsday date-setting, or thinly veiled demands for your tithes so the "work" can continue (mostly by buying more TV time to scream about the same work).

The sheer irony is almost too delicious: Here are all these groups proudly proclaiming they've preserved "the truth once delivered," the very doctrines Mr. Armstrong restored through divine revelation... yet somehow they've misplaced the minor details like "love your neighbor," "bear one another's burdens," "by this shall all men know that you are My disciples—if you have love for one another," and—oh yes—that pesky "fruit of the Spirit" thing that doesn't include constant division, finger-pointing, and declaring everyone else a tool of Satan.

If Aaron Dean—or anyone else—has managed to stay loyal to the original vision without descending into the same patterns of strife that plague so many of these groups, perhaps the real question isn't "Who has the purest doctrine?" but rather "Who is actually bearing the fruits that prove they are Christ's disciples?"

So, to all you who walked away in disgust: Examine your treacherous hearts and REPENT! UCG is ready to welcome you with an open arm, while the other is tugging at your wallet.

And to all you who remain loyally clustered in your chosen splinter: Do the same—quickly—before another "new revelation" or leadership purge hits.

Time really is short. Repentance is still on the table. Genuine love might even break out one day.

But only if everyone stops pretending their little group alone has cornered the market on God's favor while treating everyone else like spiritual lepers.

Tick-tock, brethren. Tick-tock.

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.
