People of The Restored Church of God: Please Consider...


 


Please Consider

 

Four David C. Pack prophetic failures have occurred this week, with a fifth to occur tonight at 11:35 PM. No matter what sunrise or sunset is in Jerusalem, the disappointments for The Restored Church of God shall continue because the Pastor General is not a goodman.

 

 

Please Consider:

 

God is about to culminate His plan that has been in motion before the Garden. This plan included His Son coming to earth in the flesh to die horribly on a stake so that mankind could have a Savior. God and Jesus Christ waited another two thousand years to get to the next few hours.

 

David C. Pack gives up a world-class swimming career to attend the unaccredited educational institute, Ambassador College of The Worldwide Church of God.

 

Due to apostasy and then church corruption, David C. Pack established The Restored Church of God in 1999. This house will be where the truths revealed by Herbert W. Armstrong will be preserved and taught until Jesus Christ returns. Without compromise. That is a promise.

 

Well, until 95% of that understanding needs to be snatched from the dead man’s clutches. This is by grand design, so just accept it.

 

David C. Pack was divinely inspired in 2005 to understand he is an apostle. Not only that but Joshua, the High Priest of Zechariah 3. As if being mentioned in the Bible once was not enough, this same man is also Elijah the Prophet of Malachi 4. A type of John the Baptist. The Seventh Angel of Revelation. A type of John in Revelation. A type of Ezekiel measuring the temple. He is the righteous from the east. He is the faithful priest. He is the twig. He is the man in linen talking with Daniel. He is David. He is a type of Moses.

 

Jesus Christ is not That Prophet. David C. Pack is.

 

David C. Pack is all of those biblical figures because it was revealed to him that it was so.

 

His speaking fulfills prophecy dozens of times. He reveals the Man of Sin a few times. He unseals Daniel a few times. He unseals Revelation despite John being told not to seal it.

 

The man possesses no fear of God when he adds to and takes away from the words of the Bible because it is revealed to him that he has the authority to do so. Definitions bend to his will. Numbers are readily manipulated with verbal magic turning lead into prophetic gold through arcane alchemy.

 

"The Greatest Untold Story!" is required for salvation. The 416-plus epic reveals the Mystery of God in a definitive way using inarguable proofs laid out in a way impossible to misunderstand with metrics that break if another year passes, which utilize stone-cold mathematics.

 

The coming of the Kingdom of God is the next most-significant occurrence in human existence. The Father knows when this will occur, and He cannot let it fail. David C. Pack is charged with teaching these hidden truths accurately. The Kingdom of God cannot come until His chosen servant correctly prepares God’s people. 

 

Everything in Creation had led to a specific day: Shevat 4. That is today. January 26, 2023.

 

Today, the 45-day Kingdom of God begins, followed by a 10-day Tribulation that ends on March 22, 2023. That day is Abib 1, when the Day of the Lord starts, precisely 55 days from today.

 

God needs this to come together in perfect harmony with all the scriptures so His Word is not broken.

 

 

And yet:

 

God does not give David C. Pack an utterance for certainty’s sake. God removes His servant’s dunamis and never allows him to show any signs of an apostle. He blinded the man instead. God played a few ruses along the path just to see who would leave and who would stay.

 

David C. Pack confessed to speaking presumptuously. Early parts of the Series have been permanently removed from the Sermon Library in Member Services due to the rampant errors and their “uninspired” nature. God allowed His apostle to set false dates by tricking him into seeing patterns in the Bible that were never there. God inspired David C. Pack to spend hours studying, preparing, and delivering knowingly-fraudulent teachings. By grand design, so just accept it.

 

His servant claims, “On God’s authority…” on matters later proven false. His servant sometimes thinks he is Elijah the Prophet, but at other times, he will be raised as Elijah in the future. David C. Pack is telling, not foretelling. He is prophesying but understood only as “inspired preaching” once the office of prophet is demystified.

 

The words of God’s chosen vessel are so contradictory and error-filled the Bible needs to be ignored just to tolerate him. He has proven to not be a man of his word. He cannot be trusted, even when he quotes himself. Fact-checking and dictionaries are thorns in the flesh for David C. Pack. He has been caught lying, fabricating, and embellishing. He has a proven record of not being faithful with even the little things. As the Bible describes, he is the antithesis of a faithful preacher of righteousness.

 

During this process, the faithful sheep are left distraught and confused. Some to the point they quit and give up everything. The cowards at Headquarters dare not leave the 99 remaining because it was only one stupid weakling who wandered off that was probably a tare anyhow.

 

Let the devil have them. When the Lake of Fire appears, they will be sorry because David C. Pack will be proven right. This is the plan of God in motion.

 

 

And yet:

 

The brethren of the Restored Church of God must continue to believe Pastor General David C. Pack no matter how many failures and proven falsehoods are laid at his feet.

 

He surrounds himself with the weakest, most compromising men he could possibly find. These hirelings care not for the sheep but love their ceiled houses increased with goods, who have need of nothing. They are enablers that support the system of deceit for their own gain.

 

This is The Restored Church of God.

 

Is David C. Pack the man God has chosen?

 

Does David C. Pack speak with God’s authority?

 

Is this the way God always intended His plan to be carried out?

 

Does any of this sound like the God of the Bible?

 

If it is all true, is this a God you want to worship and spend eternity with?

 

And be like?

 

Or David C. Pack is just a man more lost than anyone in The Restored Church of God.

 

 

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God is not an apostle. He is not Elijah. He is not a goodman.

 

If this were Old Testament times, he would be asleep under a pile of rocks. Do not stone him, but pray he repents. And think about not giving him any more of your money.

 

Following his teachings are chasing after mirages in the desert. Your thirst only increases, and when you get there, you find barren sand because he has already moved on to the next distant hill.

 

The man tells you everything you need to hear to know if he is true or not. Listen to him closely. Pay attention to his words. Did the Kingdom of God arrive today?

Dave Pack Pulls A Bob Thiel: Prophetic Timing Has Built-in Wiggle Room


Wiggle Room

 

Monday, January 23 @ 10:04 AM ET

Tuesday, January 24 @ 10:05 AM ET

Wednesday, January 25 @ 10:06 AM ET

Thursday, January 26 @ 10:07 AM ET

Maybe Thursday, January 26 @ 11:35 PM ET ?

 

According to David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God, prophetic timing has built-in wiggle room. Precision is hard to nail down, so thankfully, the Bible provides a way to fudge expectations this way and that. Over 20,000 hours of Bible study will make anyone an expert in biblical loopholes.

 

Somehow, Dave’s Spidey-Senses start tingling long before an event is set to occur. This has been proven helpful over the years as deadlines approach. God’s Holy Spirit haunts him. He is uncomfortable. And oh, the chest pains. 

 

This phenomenon is quite curious. Even after hour upon hour of inarguable proofs and metrics that build a case so strong even the Supreme Court would be astounded, deep down, David C. Pack is not convinced.

 

All of God's math and over two hours of untaught material proved that the Kingdom of God begins today, Shevat 4 (January 26). This rock-solid, immovable 55-day period ends on the Day of the Lord on March 22, 2023.

 

Or maybe not.

 

This was issued yesterday.

 

 

Prophecy Update – January 25, 2023

 

Brethren, we are all expecting Christ at the 1,335.

 

The date seems beyond all argument.

 

The only problem that just will not resolve itself has been how to get around the numerous verses about a delay, such as we've done the will of God, but it is still "for yet a little while"—you do not know the hour—you cannot think the hour—statements like it could be the 2nd watch, it could be the 3rd watch (blessed no matter when)—and finally, an initial judgment that appears to be in a hurry (Luke 12:36-38) seems to culminate later in a dawn/rising of the sun when all men are actually present.

 

Every servant would know the day his master is returning from a wedding! But the hour could remain in question every time.

 

Night in Jerusalem is about 13.5 hours this time of year. So then, again, the date seems beyond all argument. The hour appears unknowable.

 

In Christ’s service,

 

David C. Pack

 

 

The man really does not believe his own teachings. Even the unpresented stuff.

 

The date seems beyond all argument.”

 

It is 100% guaranteed that David C. Pack will be the one to argue against Shevat 4. He will point out how it was "never gonna be" today, and it was "impossible" for it to happen.

 

Remember, a non-prophet/non-psychic is calling that out. Not a real one.

 

To further invoke the powers of Magic 8 Ball, I predict timing will revert back to February 10 being “the day” so Dave can unshred his “proofs Elijah rises before February 10.” The remaining 30 points of the list about a 40-day period before March 22 can be resurrected from the garbage bin and re-ordained as inspired knowledge.

 

This will buy him two more weeks. He should have taken my advice to go on vacation and catch up on his much-needed sleep. Tend to your marriage, Dave, and leave the churching to Brad. He loves to be in charge.

 

 

“…the numerous verses about a delay…”

“…it could be the 2nd watch…the 3rd watch…”

“…seems to culminate later in a dawn…”

“…the hours could remain in question…”

“The hour appears unknowable…”

 

Wiggle room. Wiggle room. Wiggle room.

 

The New Testament repeats that no man knows the day AND hour. But as with all things David C. Pack teaches, there is wiggle room.

 

This entire update is utterly worthless. The push into the sunrise in Jerusalem will not make matters any more accurate. All it will do is have David C. Pack fail twice in one day. Achievement unlocked.

 

Now, the people of The Restored Church of God get to further defer their hope making their hearts even sicker late into this evening. Thanks a lot, Dave. I hope only very few stay up past their bedtime waiting for the clock to ring in a new disappointment.

 

Fear not. Part 417 will clarify what we missed because all is well.

 

Further wiggle room will suggest we are still on track.

Growing up as a teen in Philadelphia Church of "God"

 



There is an excellent yet deeply sad letter on Exit and Support Network from a young woman telling what life was like growing up as a teen in the Philadelphia Church of "God". Her story is similar to those who grew up in the Worldwide Church of God or any of the other hundreds of splinter groups out there. Just more proof of how unChristian and morally bankrupt the entire Armstrongist movement is at its core.

Here is a snippet from her story:

"When I started high school and developed a social life outside of the group is when things got out of hand. My father, still drinking, but this time able to hide behind the fact that he was a prominent member of “the church,” would criticize every one of my friends. They were okay to talk to at school but I was not to spend any time with them outside of that. This is not something a social teen can do. Kids need to experience growing up no matter what religious practices they have. So this turned into an ongoing and sometimes very dark battle between my parents and me. I went to PCG’s church camp and while I met a few people who were feeling the same way I was about the strict rules and the unanswered questions, most of the teens there were very cold-hearted and seemed to be in some sort of popularity contest over who was the best teen Christian. I soon found out that a lot of these so called “good kids” were not at all. They were manipulative, judgmental, rude, arrogant and selfish. A very few of them were sincere. 
 
More than anything I was confused as to why I couldn’t get a straight answer for anything. My father would always say, “Well, because that is the way God wants it.” I wanted to be in the school plays and was not permitted to because I couldn’t wear the stage makeup and also because me being in the “spot-light” was considered vanity. It’s a school play, for crying out loud, not a Broadway musical! I missed out on dances, choir events, friends, and more importantly, my high school years because of rules that didn’t make any sense. Social interaction wasn’t the only thing that suffered. My class work came after my Bible Lessons and since my father was sure the Great Tribulation would come before I even graduated, I never really had a great deal of interest in school work. In my sophomore year in high school I started to think about college and what I wanted to do after I graduated. Neither of my parents encouraged any kind of education after high school. They were sure things would come to an end before then. I began to work harder in school and managed to get my grades up to a reasonably good average and on a number of occasions was actually scolded for not paying enough attention to my “church-work.” 
 
Things began to get worse and I grew very hostile towards my parents as well as the PCG. Most Saturday mornings began with an argument between me and my father. I had my home personality, my school personality and my church personality.1 I had to live a lie at home to keep any sort of peace. At services I would just turn myself off and turn into the girl that everyone wanted and expected me to be. I took notes on sermons, I discussed topics with my peers and other members of the group. I acted like it really was my way of life. In all actuality, I wanted to cry when I walked into that place. I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs when the sermons would say things about how we need to make sure we are not judgmental and then turn around and flat out say that the world would be a much better place if certain people were killed. I hated feeling like I was supposed to be so much better than what I actually was. I began to sink into a deep depression and almost ended my life. My mother took me to the doctor (a very rare thing) and I was given an anti-depressant that would “make everything ok.” I took this hoping it would give me a few pseudo peaceful moments at home and at services, but in the long run it didn’t do a damn thing. I told my mother I wasn’t going to pretend that I didn’t know why I was upset all the time. I knew the reason I was crying every night in bed and why I couldn’t concentrate on anything. I was unhappy in the “church.” I did not believe it to be the truth. I was sick of living a lie and a double life. That next morning, my parents gave me the choice I had been waiting for years to make, and for the first time in my life, I did not keep the Sabbath." 
 
To this day I have an extremely hard time finding a place where I am comfortable. Some have called the WCG and the PCG a “cult.” I agree to this wholeheartedly. The typical association might not be the right usage but the idea is there. You have to be let into the group by an official, you have to strictly abide by the laws of the group; once you have been disfellowshipped, you are not to have contact with the people in the group, etc. In many ways it is a cult2 and the emotional damage is also very apparent in the people I have talked to about it, including members of my own family who were also raised inside. There were many ministers and deacons that I came across in the group that were very hard on the younger people. My little sister and I both had been told by Craig and Colleen Craig Winters that our clothing was much too poor to be worn to church services. Dennis Leap, at Philadelphia Youth Camp, would openly make examples of people at the camp that were doing things he didn’t see as appropriate. I was an example on one occasion. I had been injured pretty badly while playing soccer earlier that week and had been on bed rest for the last few days. His way of thinking seemed to be that physical injury and illness were a direct result of “spiritual sin.” He made a point to make sure everyone knew that the real reason I had been injured was not because of actual physical strain, but because I had sinned and was paying for it physically. Can you imagine hearing that? This is a small part of what I and many other young kids were subjected to at these camps.
