Dave Pack: Strange Leading the Strange

 

Strange-r Danger

David C. Pack is an expert on the topic of strange ideas. He is obsessed with distorting Bible doctrines, perverting them into an abomination of his own corrupted imagination. The Pastor General of The Restored Church of God clearly sees the reasons for his prophetic failures and dwindling membership. None of those reasons have anything to do with him because the answers are always external.

The wicked spirits in high places are very active in The Restored Church of God. Just not the way David C. Pack thinks.

According to him, the reason brethren flee his spiritually bankrupt organization always has some outside, nefarious cause. The devil seduced them. Their spiritual weakness revealed itself when their human nature pulled them away. They just followed their dumb wives out the door. They just want to go off and sin and eat pepperoni pizza.

They lack the faith to accept “The Greatest Unending Story!” Series is God ending the Mystery of God through His chosen human vessel. They lack patience because “This is taking too long.” They are high-minded because “Mr. Pack can’t get all the tiny details right.” They are rigid and unable to accept revealed knowledge because “This isn’t what Mr. Armstrong taught.”

He thinks leaving The Restored Church of God, “is as easy as sipping a cup of coffee.” Since I understand firsthand because I lived it, strange ideas like that broadcast that David C. Pack has no idea what he is talking about.

David C. Pack wants to believe every reason under the sun for why brethren leave RCG except for the one that is true: David C. Pack.

The Pastor General is a hypocritical blaspheming liar, false apostle, false teacher, and false prophet preaching antichrist doctrines that defy the Word of God. He weaponizes the Bible to manipulate minds and control them with fear. Love has waxed very cold inside RCG, and it stems from the central vortex of bitter madness: David C. Pack.

There is a thick darkness permeating Headquarters. The Series will never end because God is not guiding David C. Pack to teach his doctrinal debauchery. The Holy Spirit does not move David C. Pack to utter the words that cause him deeply troubled discomfort. He preaches a foolishly meandering, confusing cesspool of doctrinal filthiness presented as honey dripped from heaven.

People leave The Restored Church of God because they read and believe their Bibles. Hearing what David C. Pack says should be all anyone needs to discern if he preaches the truths of God.

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 506),” on April 9, 2024, David C. Pack seized the opportunity to warn members from leaving the organization because they would forfeit their salvation and make the biggest mistake of their existence.

After proving for months that the Kingdom of God would arrive on Abib 1, April 8, 2024, only to have nothing happen, he knew he had to address the potential for even more people to flee.

Part 506 – April 9, 2024
@ 01:19:34 I I wonder if there is a very difficult period. I wanna inoculate you. If we do go through a very di–difficult period, Matthew 24 and Luke 12 have always suggested (let's hope I'm not reading it right) that some yet leave and kindle a fire and do not abide the day of Christ coming.

Matthew and Luke foretold some would leave RCG and cause trouble for them. Interesting.

@ 1:20:42 So, do Matthew 24 and Luke 12, some say, “My Lord delays his coming.” Kindle the fire is that the last unbelieving hypocrites among us who were purged by God?

A great David C. Pack irony is that he has been preaching for eight-and-a-half years that "My Lord delays his coming." With each prophetic failure, he has to preach why God gave the members more time. When David C. Pack moves the Kingdom of God's arrival from Abib 1 to Abib 15 to Iyar 1 to Tammuz 1, he is preaching to the brethren of The Restored Church of God, "My Lord delays his coming."

He is also letting people in the chairs know that if they leave, God is purging them. They are not leaving because they discern a fool and depart from his presence. They are not leaving because the Bible instructs everyone to not be afraid of false prophets. They are not leaving because Paul warned of false teachers. No, they want to leave because Jesus Christ is vomiting them out of His mouth.

This is cultish mind control. If you stay in your seat, you are NOT being purged by God.

@ 1:20:58 I watch people leave for for reasons so silly I I just can't even fathom it.

He is saying brethren who leave have no legitimate reasons for doing so. That is a lie. David C. Pack belittles anyone who disagrees with him because he cannot accept the reality that he is the direct cause of anyone's departure.

None of this is new.

Flashback Part 499 – March 21, 2024
@ 32:40 I watch people leave the church. We just had a little cluster of people leave the church because a serpent bit all of them. And and I watch ‘em, again, just like a a sip of coffee. They just let their salvation slip away. But, let’s read. I mean, would people do that? Did they hear the 500 hours? And the answer’s No. What then, why where they here? And they leave over some of the dumbest things.

Fleeing from a documented blaspheming liar false prophet is what the Bible teaches. People who DO hear the five hundred hours have more than enough information to discern the wisdom of leaving David C. Pack and The Restored Church of God.

Do not walk away. Run.

@ 38:14 And you’ll wonder how could anybody ever leave the only church who knows the things I’m showing you.

Things he would later show them are inaccurate, and have to re-invent the wheel as he has been doing for years.

@ 1:13:36 I’ve watched scores of thousand, I’ve said this over and over to people who will sit and hear me say it and blow it off like they never heard me say it. They must have a way of lying to themself.

When brethren finally do escape The Restored Church of God, it is because they DID hear the words of David C. Pack.

Another great David C. Pack irony is he lies to himself all day, every day. It is the only way he can stare perfect, consistent failure in the face and still cling to the lunatic fantasy that God is guiding him.

@ 1:14:57 We’ve had to wait twenty-five years. No wonder. Attacked, lied to, lied about, lied to, attacked. And people just, “Yeah, I’ll leave the church.” Like they snapped their fingers.

Since June 2022, the exrcg.org website has been dedicated to accurate and honest reporting on the happenings inside The Restored Church of God. David C. Pack is quoted correctly and in context. Video clips are provided when his delivery is coherent enough. He is not being lied about from here.

Flashback Part 500 – March 23, 2024
@ 1:47:01 You think you wanna be in this world? [chuckles] You know, we got people just too stupid to be a First Fruit—What? What? They leave. But I've watched it my whole life.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, and the heart of a loving shepherd just burst forth.

Flashback Part 501 – March 30, 2024
@ 10:47 And I've searched diligently, but somebody was supposta understand. You think if you think, “Well, I’m not the one,” well, then you better wait for some other David. Some people wouldn’t wait. “Mr. Pack, you figure out what thousands of prophets over centuries of their lives knew nothing of. If you figured out and if you don’t, I’m gonna leave.”

David C. Pack has a disturbed perception of the people who recognize his wickedness and depart from him. The paradoxical Pastor General is both an arrogant narcissist and a whimpering victim. He knows how to attack and pout at the same time.

 

Near the end of Part 506, Dave felt more comfortable laying harsher criticisms upon those who had already left as a warning to anyone else in the audience who might dare to follow.

The Romans crucified criminals and staged their bodies along the main road as a warning.

David C. Pack adopts the same philosophy.

Part 506 – April 9, 2024
@ 1:33:08 Eight and a half years just seemed too unreasonable, too strange for the self-righteous among us who were just above this, and they left. Followed their own lusts. They left. And I I started all of this to tell you a few more might. And what we've done is not so strange or hard, and that people who've quit, you should not think that's strange because people have been walking away from the way of God since the Garden.

@ 1:33:45 No other church on Earth knows about this Kingdom. 

The Kingdom that did not come on April 8. The Kingdom that has been changing for over eight years.

@ 1:34:21 This is 506 or 7, I guess. I could do it in a hundred messages and speak much less often. Maybe fewer people had left, but that iddn't, apparently, what God wanted. I kept thinking it was right and it was wrong. 

David C. Pack has NO IDEA what God wants. His consistent failures prove God is not backing him up.

@ 1:35:24 Life would've been more normal and maybe more people would've stayed that God did not want to stay because we had to be willing to go through this difficult period.

Could people remaining in The Restored Church of God thwart God's purpose? Imagine the implications.

@ 1:35:43 To leave the only church that sees it is far beyond foolish. One who does this is without excuse. You know what they believe? They reject the whole thing.

 

STOP
Do not miss this next sentence.

This is clinical proof that David C. Pack possesses a warped mind entirely disconnected from reality in 3…2…1…

@ 1:35:57 The fact that I got a date or two right wrong or something, or some detail wrong, but saw a kingdom nobody else could see.

A date or two? That perfectly encapsulates the mentality of David C. Pack. Talk about lying to yourself.

The homepage of exrcg.org hosts a tally of 79 failed dates proclaimed by David C. Pack, and that is only as of Tammuz 1, 2022. If there were "only two," not including the day before Dave uttered that stupid comment, we could start where it all began on Elul 24 in 2013 and throw in Esther's Fast “Night Watch” in 2019.

It is sometimes hard to fathom that David C. Pack believes his own words, considering how filled they are with lies. David C. Pack does not just speak lies. It is who he is.

@ 1:36:06 And you leave the only church that says that, you're probably gone. There is a fire that devours before the Father got here. There are people who are gonna be cutting two. They had to have rejected the whole thing because, you know, because “Mr. Pack couldn't get details right, I'm gonna go back into the world,” and most of 'em do go back into the world.

The Father will devour those who leave RCG with fire or cut them in two. That is a strong motivator to stay. According to David C. Pack, we all left because we rejected the details. What a foolish, deceived man he is.

@ 1:36:28 So, I wanted to say all of that because we might go through a bumpy period. Do what will not be strange is unbelieving hypocrites. Hypocrite means, in the Greek hupokritēs, it means a stage actor. There are people who are stage actors. Some are really good, like Judas, and you just cannot know it. 

Documented hypocrite David C. Pack is really bad at being a Judas because we can spot him easily.

 

Dave was proud of his 15-minute “strange” angle during Part 506. He set up why the Series was moving closer to nine years without the Kingdom of God in sight. It was not strange that people were leaving RCG because God wanted that. Just as God wanted the Series to drag on.

@ 1:21:07 First, let me say it's always seems strange to me that God required the Series to be so long for me to finally get the picture right. Always just seemed strange.

That would require God to be behind the Series. He is not. It would also require David C. Pack to “finally get the picture right," and he has not. Part 509 set an exclamation point above that.

Every week, he changes the picture and explains why the last right picture was actually the wrong picture because the new right picture is better than the last right picture, which is now wrong. Right?

@ 1:22:12 Now, speaking of strange, I want you to, God has us go through strange things. Isaiah walked for years with his bare bottom hanging out. Strange.

Dave frolics through the Bible to point out all the “strange” things God had people do. In his conclusion, he exploits these instances as a cover to explain away his own failings.

I will list a few of his points, let him conclude, then defeat his entire fifteen minute argument in a single sentence. Well, Dave actually defeated himself, but he did not realize it.

“Strange” Bible Occurrences
•  Isaiah walked bare-bottom
•  Jeremiah hid a belt in the rocks
•  Hosea married a whore
•  The Two Witnesses will walk in sackcloth
•  Ezekiel ate a scroll
•  Jonah was in a whale's belly
•  Israel marched around Jericho for seven days
•  Noah built an ark
•  Abraham instituted circumcision

You get the point. Dave presented fifteen minutes of that. And he was so excited about the perfect logic of it all and how warm that blanket must have felt while doing it.

@ 1:23:24 Those are all strange things that God has asked His people to do.

@ 1:26:23 Eight and a half years learning about a kingdom isn't all that strange.

@ 1:28:54 Those are the strangest things you get. That's why a lot of people laugh at the Bible because it's a God who requires things of people. Eight and a half years for a Series. Can you imagine the persecution I get that I don't even tell you about?

David C. Pack drew a line between strange things in the Bible and the Series creeping along. He had built for himself a sure house of excuses. Watch him defeat his entire argument in one of his own sentences.

@ 1:23:24 Those are all strange things that God has asked His people to do.

God did not ask, direct, command, commission, charge, instruct, inspire, or even suggest that David C. Pack teach any of the content in the Series. There could be ten thousand strange things listed in the Bible, but none apply to David C. Pack. God did not send him, yet he ran.

The greatest tool for defeating David C. Pack is accurately quoting David C. Pack.

That is not so strange.

The United States and Britain in Fantasy by Peter Ditzel

A Short Critique of Herbert W. Armstrong’s British-Israelism

The United States and Britain in Fantasy Peter Ditzel

Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986), one of the most popular and controversial radio and television evangelists of the twentieth century, was one of the better known proponents of the teaching known as Anglo- or British-Israelism.1 His most popular book on the subject was The United States and British Prophecy. According to this theory, there is a distinction between Jews and Israelites; the descendants of the Israelites are now the white, English-speaking peoples of Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc., as well as the majority of the people living in northwestern Europe; the above nations are the Israel of Bible prophecy, and the British Royal family is Jewish and descended from King David of Israel.2

If any Worldwide Church of God doctrine can be considered Herbert W. Armstrong’s pet teaching more than any other, perhaps this is it. Armstrong was not, however, its originator. According to Ruth Tucker, the idea that British ancestry could be traced to ancient Israel originated in the seventeenth century with a man named John Sadler.3

Later, Canadian-born Richard Brothers (1757-1824) claimed a right to the British throne based on his assertion that he was a descendant of King David of Israel. Brothers was committed to an asylum. In 1840, a man named John Wilson published a restatement of Brothers’ ideas in Our Israelitish Origin. This restatement of the probably mentally deranged Brothers’ ideas served to popularize the view. In 1902, J. H. Allen wrote a book called Judah’s Sceptre and Joseph’s Birthright. J. Gordon Melton writes: "Through the efforts of Merritt Dickinson, who had read and accepted the arguments in Allen, Anglo-Israel thought entered the Church of God (Seventh Day) [though it was not accepted as an official teaching of that church]."4 Armstrong, once associated with the Church of God (Seventh Day), based his book The United States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy (later renamed The United States and Britain in Prophecy) largely on Allen’s book.

As founder and "apostle" of the Worldwide Church of God, Armstrong considered British-Israelism to be one of most important doctrines in his church. Writing in the late 1970s of what he considered the treasonous watering down of the church’s teachings behind his back, Armstrong criticized those who tried to minimize this teaching: "Church teachings were being changed. The most resultful booklet of all, The United States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy, was attacked, greatly deleted and later put out of circulation."5 Armstrong ordered that the full-length version of the book be circulated once again.

As is all Anglo-/British-Israelism, Herbert W. Armstrong’s belief concerning the modern identity of Israel is heavily based on a mix of sloppy scholarship and pure myth. Yet, incredibly, Herbert Armstrong called this fantasy "the vital key necessary to unlock closed doors of biblical prophecy" and "the strongest proof of the inspiration and authority of the Holy Bible!" Armstrong even went so far as to claim, "It is, at the same time, the strongest proof of the very active existence of the living God!"6

The United States and Britain in Prophecy was one of Armstrong’s larger works and to refute it point-by-point would take a good-sized volume. Fortunately, it is not necessary for our purpose to go into every particular to prove Armstrong’s claims false. Picking out only a few points will suffice.

First, an examination of some of the myths that Armstrong preached will help convey the flavor of this wild hypothesis. One was that the tribe of Irish mythology that Armstrong continually misspelled as the "Tuathe De Danaan" or "Tuatha De Danaan" was Israel’s tribe of Dan having migrated to Ireland. Armstrong claims, "Tuatha De means the ’people of God.’ The name Dunn in the Irish language, for example, means the same as Dan in the Hebrew: judge."7 The implication is that the name of this Irish tribe identifies it as the biblical tribe of Dan.

In reality, Tuatha Dé Danann (correct spelling) means "people of the goddess Danu." In Irish legend, the Tuatha Dé Danann were the fourth race to invade Ireland. According to Françoise Le Roux and Christian-J. Guyonvarc’h writing in The Encyclopedia of Religion, "They came from the north, according to a very old Hyperborean tradition."8 Israel is, of course, not to the north of Ireland.

The accounts of the Tuatha Dé Danann sound like they are straight out of "sword and sorcery" fiction. Apparently so as not to ruin his

2

credibility, Armstrong never related the entire legend. Notice these far-fetched highlights from the Encyclopedia of Religion: The Tuatha Dé Danann invade Ireland, take it from the Fir Bholg, and "defend it against the demonic Fomhoire." They divide the land with the Goidels, "the Goidels on the surface of the earth and the Tuatha Dé Danann within the hills and beneath the lakes...symbolic and concrete representations of the otherworld." When Lugh (the shining one) enters Tara, the Tuatha Dé Danann’s royal court, "he enumerates all his abilities to the doorkeeper druid and is allowed to enter precisely because he possesses together all the capabilities of the other gods."9

We have gone this far with the description only to impress the complete fantasy with which we are dealing. Yet this is one part of a doctrine that Armstrong says proves the existence of God!

After saying the tribe of Dan went to Ireland, Armstrong says that the prophet Jeremiah later joined them. According to this story, Jeremiah brought with him a stone that is supposedly the stone beneath the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey in London. British monarchs spend part of the coronation ceremony sitting on this chair with the stone beneath them. According to legend, this stone is "Jacob’s pillar stone," the stone upon which Jacob had his dream of a stairway to heaven on which angels were ascending and descending (Genesis 28:10-22).10 In reality, this stone has been proven to be from Scotland.11

Jeremiah also brought to Ireland, according to Armstrong, the daughter of Zedekiah, king of Judah. When this daughter married the son of the king of Ireland, the Jewish royal family descended from King David was successfully transplanted to the British Isles. Eventually this Jewish royal lineage entered the British Royal family. The lineage of Queen Elizabeth II, then, goes back to King David of Israel.12

All this is a twisted version of various legends. Yet, by this, Armstrong tries to prove that a descendant of King David is still sitting on a throne over the people of Israel (according to Armstrong, the British). This is based on Armstrong’s understanding of Jeremiah 33:17: "For thus saith the Lord; ’David shall never want [fail to have] a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.’" After also quoting verses 25- 26, Armstrong writes: "Unless you can stop this old earth from turning on its axis—unless you can remove the sun and the moon and stars from heaven, says the Almighty, you cannot prevent Him from keeping His covenant to maintain continuously, through all generations,

3

FOREVER, from the time of David and Solomon, a descendant of David in one continuous dynasty on that throne!"13

Armstrong’s conclusion is completely unsound, however. Jeremiah 33:18 continues from verse 17: "Neither shall the priests the Levites want [fail to have] a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually." Armstrong admits that the Levites do not offer sacrifice today: "But Jeremiah prophesied that Levites would always be available—in existence—who could offer sacrifices if there were a temple."14 Armstrong cannot have it both ways. If verse 18 refers to lineage and not activity, then so does verse 17.

Jeremiah 33:17 simply means that the lineage of David would be preserved, not that there would be no interruption in its ruling over the house of Israel. The reason it was to be preserved was to prove, as shown in the genealogies of Matthew and Luke, that Jesus Christ was of the line of David. And with Jesus Christ, Jeremiah 33:17 reached its ultimate fulfillment because the living Jesus Christ is the living, legitimate Heir to the throne. If the British monarchs were really sitting on the throne of David, they would be usurpers!

Armstrong’s entire case rests on his argument that the ancient northern Kingdom of Israel consisted of 10 of the tribes of Israel and that these were captured by the Assyrians and never returned. Armstrong emphasizes that while "Israel" might mean any or all of the tribes (including the Jews), "house of Israel" refers exclusively to the tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel. The house of Israel remained distinct from the tribes living in the southern Kingdom of Judah—called Jews—and became known as the lost Ten Tribes.15 If we can prove that the house of Israel did not remain distinct from the Jews and that there is no such thing as the lost Ten Tribes, Armstrong’s teaching in The United States and Britain in Prophecy falls apart.

In Acts 2:14, Peter begins his inspired speech by saying: "Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem." A few verses later, in the same sermon and to the same people, Peter says, "Ye men of Israel, hear these words" (verse 22). He ends in verse 36 by saying to the same audience, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, Whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." To Peter, the men of Judæa, the men of Israel, and all the house of Israel were one and the same. Notice also that Peter equates those who crucified Jesus with all the house of Israel. Peter could not do this if the house of Israel were not even in Palestine at

4

the time. The Jews were not just the tribes Armstrong says lived in the old southern Kingdom of Judah. The Jews included "all the house of Israel."

Even the words of our Lord prove that Armstrong’s distinction between the house of Israel and the Jews is false. In addressing the twelve apostles before sending them out on a mission, Jesus said in Matthew 10:5-6: "Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Notice that the apostles were not to go to the Gentiles or Samaritans. These instructions must have been for the immediate mission at hand. They could not have applied to the apostles’ mission after Jesus’ resurrection because after His resurrection Jesus instituted through the apostles a ministry to the Gentiles.

Since the apostles could not go among the Gentiles and since they could not go into any city of the Samaritans and because they had physical limitations where they could go during this short mission, it is evident they went to the Jews in their immediate area. It is the Jews whom our Lord called the "lost sheep of the house of Israel," not tribes of Israel outside Judea.

Similar proof is found in Matthew 15. When approached by a Canaanite woman asking Him to heal her daughter, Jesus at first said nothing (verse 23). Then in verse 24 He answered, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." As can be seen throughout the Gospels, Jesus’ personal mission was to the Jews. Yet in Matthew 15:24, He calls those to whom He was sent the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." Jesus Christ considered the Jews to be the lost sheep of the house of Israel.16

But if, instead of being Israelites scattered among the nations and who had lost their identity, the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" were Jews who knew their identity, how were they lost? The "lost" refers to spiritual condition, not geographic disorientation. In Isaiah 53:6 we read, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." This agrees with Jesus’ parable in Luke 15 and Matthew 18 of the sinner symbolized by the lost sheep. As Jesus said in Matthew 18:11, "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

5

Contrary to Herbert Armstrong’s pet idea, then, there is no distinction between the Jews and the house of Israel. And "lost" is a description of the spiritual condition of the house of Israel—the Jews—not of their physical whereabouts. How appropriate that while The United States and Britain in Prophecy is full of "fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith" (1 Timothy 1:4), the truth points to Jesus’ mission of salvation.

One last bit of evidence before closing this subject: After Jesus’ resurrection, God opened salvation to the Gentiles. But most members of the Worldwide Church of God and its daughter churches are white, English-speaking people and the people of northwestern Europe. This means that—using Armstrong’s British-Israelism definitions—most "true Christians" (that is, according to Armstrongism, members of the churches that teach the doctrines of Herbert Armstrong) are Israelites, physical descendants of Jacob (Israel). This contradicts the biblical teaching "that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in" (Romans 11:25; see also 10:19; 11:11, 32; and Matthew 21:43). But the fantasy world of Herbert Armstrong aside, most Christians today are Gentiles, just as the Bible says they would be.
