Elephant in the Clouds
February 3, 2024 | by Marc Cebrian
David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God is a professional religious theorist. He spends all his time studying the Bible to be the first to discover new truths hidden since the dawn of time. Part of his delusion is believing that God is guiding him to see special knowledge that no other human being has ever known.
When normal people look up at the clouds, they might see animals and faces floating by. When David C. Pack looks up, he sees the divine revelation of Bible prophecy meant only for him to receive and communicate.
The pages of the Bible are like clouds to him, and The Greatest Untold Story! is his personal platform for sharing the ever-changing visions in the sky.
Spoiler Alert:
After being promoted to Elijah status,
David C. Pack will personally be involved
in building God’s Temple
before April 9, 2024 (Abib 1).
Pastor General David C. Pack is perpetually stricken with acute Jerusalem Syndrome. He believes God specially chose and trained him to lead His people into the Kingdom of God just over the horizon.
The debate whether or not this is true is already over. David C. Pack has never been right about anything he has taught about when the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ would return. He never stops but just keeps pushing the date further into the calendar.
According to the Bible, you have one chance to be proven a true servant of God. David C. Pack repeatedly failed that test long ago, yet manages to keep his job because broken people in denial willingly pay to have him lie to them. Fraudulent doctrines are safe and familiar in The Restored Church of God.
A frequently submitted question is: Does David C. Pack know he is a false prophet?
My educated opinion is Yes and no. He is aware he lies but persists anyway because he lives in constant denial. He understands he would be a proven liar only if Jesus Christ never returned when he said he would, even on Attempt #203.
See, he was right all along. It just took a while to get there. That is the RCG philosophy.
David C. Pack must keep the prophecy game running. If he ever stops playing, the last spot landed on would be False Teacherville. At that point, even he would have to accept that he embodies everything the Bible warns about.
David C. Pack is much like Russell Crowe’s character in A Beautiful Mind. He is a specially gifted man who sees patterns nobody else can, and his remarkable talents are coveted by those in need.
As a kid, I enjoyed lying on the grass, looking up at the clouds. I would sometimes see shapes and figures, faces, and animals. But even as a child, I understood they were not real, and my mind only perceived them that way.
David C. Pack is an unfortunate soul who looks at clouds and sees God’s personal guidance. But really, it was just an elephant.
Wikipedia
Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.Psychology Today
Pareidolia is a phenomenon wherein people perceive likenesses on random images—such as faces, animals, or objects on clouds and rock formations. It is not a clinical diagnosis, nor is it a disorder. The brain has a tendency to assign meaning wherever it can.
PsychCentral.com warns of the dangers of this perception trait for an unstable mind.
Patternicity: What It Means When You See Patterns
Apophenia is the perception of meaningful patterns in any unrelated information, including sounds, sights, or experiences. It includes the visual-specific phenomenon of pareidolia.Apophenia and pareidolia are common occurrences…challenges often only present when someone becomes fixated on specific patterns or details that others perceive as random.
Seeing patterns in the world can be natural. But a fixation on patterns or assigning meaning where there is none may mean something more.
Problematic apophenia that interferes with your functionality or daily life may be due to more than an active learning process.
“There are a few mental health conditions that can be characterized by seeing excessive patterns, such as OCD, schizophrenia, and autism,” explains Dr. Harold Hong, a psychiatrist from Raleigh, North Carolina. “Still, it is crucial to note that not everyone who experiences these conditions will see extreme patterns.”
As a Type I cognitive error, apophenia may also appear alongside conditions that feature symptoms of psychosis, according to research from 2020 Trusted Source. This can include false beliefs and inaccurate sensory experiences.
Apophenia may also be the result of physiological brain abnormalities or damage that affects the areas of the brain responsible for learning.
David C. Pack is an extreme prophetic apopheniaist. The following article hits closer to home. Well, closer to Headquarters.
Apophenia: Does Everything Happen For a Reason?
When apophenia becomes extreme, it may be a sign of psychosis. Psychosis is a mental state characterized by losing touch with reality. Psychosis is a symptom of several different mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, severe depression, and schizophrenia.The greatest concern with apophenia is that it can be a symptom of unfolding psychosis. Signs of psychosis may include:
• False beliefs, such as believing that people on the internet or TV are trying to send you a hidden message
• Hallucinations, which means seeing or hearing things that aren’t there
• Paranoia
• Withdrawing from friends and family
• Having strange, nonsensical ideas
• Not taking care of oneself or engaging in personal hygiene
• Extreme changes in sleep patterns
• Having trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality
• Difficulty communicating, changes in speech patterns
• Inability to function in everyday life
• Trouble attending work or school
That is not Elijah floating overhead, Dave. It is just an elephant.
During "The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 491)" on January 20, 2024, the Pastor General was privileged to teach something nobody had ever seen before. He sold this concept hardcore.
Part 491 – January 20, 2024
@ 00:53 Last week, I knew we were still missing something or things, but what? I wasn’t sure what. I was uncomfortable with certain things, and it eventually, by the end of Sunday night...a subject popped into view that was enormous. We never saw it in eight years and two-plus months. Never saw any of it. You haven’t heard [chuckles] a word about it.@ 08:15 How is that temple begun? What a story now unfolds. What a story. Something none of us saw, and yet, it's everywhere. You're gonna hear a series of verses, and you're gonna say, “I saw that.” Then, we're gonna go to another one and say, “I saw that.” …There may be a dozen of them or more, and you’ll say, “How in the world did I not recognize what I was seeing?”
It was not time for Dave’s god to reveal that information until time was short enough to make it relevant. The only person on the planet destined to get all of this straight was David C. Pack.
While reading about how special all of this is, keep in mind that David C. Pack has been silent since. Not one peep in two weeks from Headquarters regarding this topic.
Part 492 may be delivered today, but be sure that more significant changes are afoot.
@ 11:29 “…and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Now, there’s way more in that verse than anybody has ever seen. And I been reading it for almost 58 years.
@ 12:18 That's an astonishing story. Something none of us ever saw, and I’m gonna develop it for you.
At that moment, the audience wept aloud. They were so filled with appreciative joy for their benevolent Pastor General blessing them with unveiled mysteries that have never befallen upon human ears since the Garden. Amen. Halleluiah.
Well, that is the version of reality David C. Pack sees when he looks upon his adoring fans.
@ 19:25 It’s an astonishing story. If I'd have known it on that Opening Night eight-plus years ago at the Feast in 2015, I would have never questioned whether there are three or four kingdoms. There have to be four. There have to be, and I'm gonna show you the greatest reason that could never change.
After over 490 Parts, most normal adults would learn never to utter those words again. The Greatest Unending Story! is about a confused, conflicted man stringing fabricated doctrines together that will never change until the next time he opens his mouth.
David C. Pack accurately describes his entire prophetic teaching career in 3…2…1…
@ 35:46 Now, chapter 6 [Zechariah]. I saw this, and I never understood what I was reading. I read it over and over and over again.
A false christ and human idol unintentionally spoke ironic truth.
@ 1:45:40 But, this is vastly more than anybody else has ever understood. I’m honored to just be able to finally see things coming together.
The brethren can now fully appreciate the critical magnitude of staying in The Restored Church of God. It would be terrifying to consider all they would have missed out on if they had left prematurely. After all, where else can they go?
That is the deceptive trap of The Restored Church of Another god. The Fear of Missing Out is not just for social media addicts. The brethren negotiate within themselves, “If I just hang on a little longer, then IT will happen.”
The IT never comes. David C. Pack changes his tune continually because he makes it up as he goes along. His ideas shift with the clouds.
He will never be right. He can never be right. Or the Scriptures would be broken.
As a coping mechanism, many brethren no longer listen to his messages. They willfully skip him, knowing the picture will soon change again. Why bother believing or agreeing with anything that will be obsolete the next time you hear his voice?
Even the All-Believing Zealots are flummoxed when someone presses them to explain what they just heard. Sure, they will toot their Excitement Horns among each other and in their chat groups about “what Mr. Pack taught.” But they cannot explain it because nobody can.
Field brethren should not bother writing to their unpaid Faker Mollusks because they cannot explain it either. Even if they tried, the “understanding” changed again before they hit SEND.
David C. Pack sees Elijah when he looks in the mirror. He sees his own name printed on the pages of his Bible. He understands the Bible patterns nobody else was ever led to.
Electrifying clarity strikes David C. Pack when spontaneous understanding pops into his mind. Every idea is a revelation from God. Every theory is accurate. All his words can be trusted.
Standing on what David C. Pack says is like trying to stand on a cloud. The folly of such an endeavor is instantly realized when attempted.
The Restored Church of God is held together by illusion. The illusion that it is the One True Church. The illusion that David C. Pack is an apostle and God is revealing knowledge to him.
It is a temporary image in the clouds that anything is “on track” there. The vapor shifts in the shape of “all is well at Headquarters.” Gentle breezes manipulate moisture to manifest the “all the ministers agree” flag.
All that is an illusion of the mind trying to make sense of nonsense.
“God is leading Mr. Pack” is just a flat-out lie.
All this time, David C. Pack believed he was seeing Bible prophecy unfold in the clouds. As it turns out, it was just an elephant.
