Dave Announces August 30, 2013 As The Day of Reunification

You had better get your luggage ready.  In two months item you will be leavening your COG group to go over to Dave's side.

Haggai Fulfilled—When Reunification Occurs

Most are by now probably wondering: When will the events described in Haggai take place? Before which Feast of Tabernacles (remember, Haggai means “My Feast”) will brethren be reunified? The answer is found by returning to Haggai 1. Verses 14 and 15 state that “all the remnant of the people…came and did work in the House of the Lord of Hosts, their God, in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.” We saw in an earlier announcement that this is the 24th day of the sixth month (Elul) in God’s sacred calendar.

For now, I will merely state that the prophecy applies to THIS SUMMER—August 30, 2013. Next week I will present MANY reasons.

Dave Says He Learned His Identity Four Years Ago And Will Hand Over The Church to Christ

The Hebrew for keep brings powerful meaning: “to hedge about (as with thorns), guard; generally to protect, attend to…be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep (-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch (-man).” Charge means “office, ordinance, watch or duty.” The Hebrew for “places to walk” means “a walking (in a collective sense), access.” Joshua has a certain course to walk, and he will make it through if he continues to follow God. But the primary meaning is that, as leader of God’s House (Church), it is his duty to be sure the WHOLE CHURCH walks in God’s ways. I worked alongside Mr. Armstrong (Zerubbabel) while he was putting the Church back on track. In fact, I worked most closely with him during that period. It was enormously important to spend these hours on the phone with him in the late 1970s as he put doctrines discarded by the liberals back into place.

In order to walk in God’s ways, whoever would be Joshua must clearly understand ALL of God’s ways. He must know without a doubt what was restored by Mr. Armstrong (Zerubbabel and Elijah). He must be someone who will not compromise ANY of God’s ways. I take this instruction very seriously—and the record of my life PROVES this.

It should now be obvious that Joshua leads the Church until Jesus Christ—the Stone—returns. The leader stands behind the stone that lays before him. Now get this! If no one fulfilled the modern role of Joshua, there would be no leader of God’s Church awaiting Christ’s Return. The final leader of God’s Church is present when Christ ushers in His government over all nations! This Joshua is led by Christ, Who stands in front of him.

Accept the facts from God’s Word! The honest reader will at least admit that someone fulfills the role of Joshua today. Someone, somewhere—one man—must do this. And realize that this man would (so obviously) be the first to know who he was. Imagine Joshua not knowing he was Joshua. I learned my identity almost four years ago. Haggai’s prophecy means you must learn it now. 

Dave Pack: I Will Bear The Sins of the Church

Davey has been struggling for months and months trying to figure out what the:filthy garments" are that he is supposed to have.  Try as he might he cannot do it.  Until now......since he is without sin it cannot be him, so it has to be all the sins of others that he has to bear.

Looking into the Hebrew words for “thine iniquity” brought clarity. First, the word thine was added by translators. It is not in the Hebrew! The iniquity is NOT Joshua’s. As did Mr. Armstrong on a couple occasions, our Headquarters ministers asked leading rabbis if this verse was referring to Joshua’s sin. This phrase was not obscure or hard to determine for the rabbis. They knew immediately. Many preeminent Jewish commentaries and scholars explain that this has to do with the nation of Judah having fallen into sin. Also, anciently, Ezra describes (in what is a helpful type) how the men of Judah had married foreign wives. As with Solomon’s foreign wives, this led to the worship of false gods. Notice: “And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel…” (Ezra 6:21). Also read chapter 9, verse 11.
In summary, it became clear that Joshua’s filthy garments were connected to his role as HIGH PRIEST.
