52 Pickup
January 5, 2023 | by Marc Cebrian
David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God announced a new date for your calendar: Tevet 21.
Depending on how you calculate, it could start at 5:21 PM ET on Friday, January 13, or at 9:21 AM ET if this is based on Jerusalem time. That remains a mystery because he did not say. He just threw the date out there and walked away.
That is the most significant point of "The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 413)," given on January 4, 2023. So, if that is all you have time for, thank you for stopping by.
Dave opened with five “interesting” little points he discovered recently. They will not be listed. However, the first one was strange for a few reasons.
Part 413 – January 4, 2023
@ 00:54 Everyone knows that the Two Witnesses are going to prophesy in Revelation 11, it says, in sackcloth. In sackcloth.@ 01:24 We know they’re in the God Family, and they're dressed in black cloth, more than sackcloth. Now, the reason people think that is no one, including me and I’m sure none of you ever looked up the word “sackcloth.” Did any of you ever do that? Anybody ever look up “sackcloth?”
How the Two Witnesses are in the God Family and yet, will be murdered three and a half years into their testimony is something I missed from previous parts. Have fun thinking about that, though.
This is another contender for entry in David C. Pack’s Gallery of Stupid for stating that no one ever looked up the word “sackcloth” in Revelation. Do not make me Google search that, please.
The most fascinating angle was the classic Dave-taking-a-poll maneuver. The former members at Headquarters remember this well. If you could even understand the question, raising your hand could have consequences if he did not like the response.
With the way this question was worded, if NOBODY in the room raised their hand, he would have commented because it would have shown how correct he was. With neutral questions in the past, if some raised their hands, he would comment, “Okay, a few.”
He already set this up as an absolute he was sure of. The pressure was on for members at the front of the room to decide whether to make him look foolish by expressing the truth or quietly be still and deny it.
If some did raise their hands, Dave could not comment, “Okay, a few,” because it would have thrown egg on his face and stolen his thunder.
The audience is not visible, but I theorize at least one raised their hand because he opted to move on without commenting. (Dr. Ranney, let me know if that is true. If not, I will retract it.)
Of course, people in RCG looked up that word. The Packian Triad of Fraud are not the only ones deeply studying their Bibles. What a goofy and condescending thing to assume on Dave's part. He is the only one in any room who cares about whatever it is he cares about. That is stupid.
This poll is another Dave all-or-nothing concept. If he never read it, nobody else ever did. If he never looked up the word, nobody else ever did.
If you let the moment pass by, it may seem insignificant. But this is unfiltered hubris at work.
Due to his unique office, his superior mind was moved by the Creator of All before any other human being on the face of the earth to see that the Two Witnesses are dressed in Angora goat hair. Incredible. Why the members of RCG are worthy of such bestowed knowledge is beyond me.
This quick moment is a flash of light, exposing what kind of man he is.
Part of me thinks he used his five points to pad the message to show the brethren how much he has been studying the past week. “See how legit I am.” You are such a good boy, Dave. Because you doodie in the toilet, not in your pants.
This is a summary for those who want to know what their family members are learning.
@ 13:25 So, the Mystery of God is already resolved. I mean, it simply is. It’s done.
@ 14:04 The plan of God is ten days, seven years, a thousand years, and winter. That’s all inarguable. But timing would just never settle down. It wouldn’t. Partly because it took us a while to figure out the number of Kingdoms and durations. But, integrating many timing points was sort of like Einstein having to sort out relativity.
Dave is a Biblical Einstein, and his fraudulent prophetic construct is as factual as relativity. Ha.
Even he admits the challenge all along has been timing. Harold Camping feels your pain, Dave.
Meat Puppet explained on Saturday how difficult Bible prophecy can be. It is more challenging than competitive chess but also ever-changing, with infinite possibilities like a kaleidoscope.
In Part 413, Dave uses an unintentionally laughable analogy.
@ 16:30 So, sorting out all of the timing points was like 52 Pickup. If you open the deck, there are all the diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades. All lined up perfectly. Shiny and new. But, once you play 52 Pickup which is what God did when He threw all these timing points into the Bible. There they were. And I was left with, “How do you sort these out?”
Wow. Just…wow. Sackcloth is not the only thing Dave never looked up before.
52 Pickup
52 pickup or 52-card pickup is a humorous prank which consists only of picking up a scattered deck of playing cards. It is typically played as a practical joke, where the "dealer" creates the false impression that a legitimate game will be played, then simply throws the entire deck into the air so the cards land strewn on the floor and instructs other players to pick them up.
Out of David C. Pack’s own mouth, God played a prank on him and the entire ministry of The Restored Church of God. This admission is on the scale of Dave admitting God blinded him, he repeatedly spoke presumptuously, and called his own previous teachings ridiculous.
It really was a ruse by Dave’s god. That same god is a prankster playing practical jokes on all the members of RCG. I thought “The Greatest Unending Story!” was inspired preaching. So, inspired by what?
Are you reading this RCG on-the-fencers? Did you hear what the man said? Do you consider his words?
Here it is again, condensed:
@ 16:30 So, sorting out all of the timing points was like 52 Pickup…But, once you play 52 Pickup which is what God did when He threw all these timing points into the Bible.
Is this the god you want to worship?
52 Pickup is the PERFECT analogy. It is perfect. Ironic and spot-on. David C. Pack and the enabling hirelings at Headquarters are creating a false impression of a legitimate endeavor. They keep members away from preparing for the Kingdom by focusing on building holy, righteous character—but instead, get them wound up and off-balance by shoving prophecy and timing and date after date after date in their faces.
Now, get on your knees and pick up that mess.
The Greatest Unending Story is an unending practical joke. But this is serious business.
Consider for a moment that David C. Pack is God’s chosen apostle commissioned under penalty of death to teach God’s people the truths of the Bible and to reveal the Mystery of God so that Jesus Christ can return. Instead of carefully guiding and correctly inspiring him, God sends Dave running to and fro, never to get any date correct to the point some sheep are disheartened and leave the flock.
Instead of answering his prayers with truth and knowledge, God sent him on wild goose chases, keeping him and the brethren constantly confused and in motion. Then, He throws a cruel fake-out here and there, so His chosen servant works late into the night, struggling to understand and obediently serve Him.
Instead of rewarding the faith of His people, this god compels his apostle to falsely declare, “Salvation will come in November of 2022,” then takes a step back to snicker. This god whispers in Dave’s heart, “It’s Christmas. Totally Christmas. Look at the math.”
Boink. Got ya!
“It’s New Year’s Eve. Totally for real this time. New Year’s Eve. In the midst of the years.”
Dooh!
This is the god David C. Pack presents to the brethren of The Restored Church of Another god. This god plays practical jokes at your expense. This god is playing 52 Pickup with the Bible.
The most amazing things fall from the lips of David C. Pack. His own words expose what he is. His own words expose which spirit he serves.
There is the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error. Which one plays 52 Pickup with God's people?
Dave created a sixty-point list concerning timing that gave all the members a chance to rest their hands and ponder if the iron was left on this morning.
These all funneled into Tevet 21 being the start of the Day of the Lord.
@ 1:01:31 In other words, the 21st of this month [Tevet – January 14], which is next Sabbath, ten days away, not quite ten, the 21st begins the Great Tribulation.
@ 1:01:54 So, there's a three-and-a-half-day period that God carefully depicts as starting on the 24th [Tevet – January 17]. And it ends when the 24th does. And a new month arrives.
@ 1:02:23 A new moon and two weeks. 7th and 14th [January]. Longer than we thought. We needed patience.
And a healthy dose of denial sprinkled with willful blindness.
The reset of the month and year is still in play. Instead of Tevet 8 going back to Tevet 1, Tevet 24 now jumps to Shevat 1. Doc and Marty no longer have to worry about time travel paradoxes.
@ 1:03:43 Not next month and not last month, and not next year. It doesn’t even sit right in Tevet next year. These are the problems I balanced. I been studying the calendars for years to come. The next time all of just what I’ve told you lines up is 2034. But, the Mystery of God is over now.
@ 1:21:34 There is no math, none, that allows even one more week, or you burst into Shevat and "in one month" crashes. You only have five days left. You can't go another week.
This has to be it. No more chances, according to Dave. Yet, somehow I see Part 414 in our future.
As a professional unordained non-prophet/non-psychic, I use Magic 8 Ball and not a deck of cards. Maybe that is why calling David C. Pack a biblical fraud and every date he declares a failure before it happens stands at 100% accuracy.
Nothing will happen on or around Tevet 21 and I do not need 85 minutes to prove it.
I would never want to worship a god who plays 52 Pickup with his word or his people. Would you?
Part 413 coverage will continue tomorrow.
