Punting Prophecy
January 15, 2023 | by Marc Cebrian
Many patterns became clear before my departure from The Restored Church of God. Not only did I recognize that David C. Pack was a naked emperor, but I likened him to Lucy of Peanuts. Forever would he hold the prophetic football with promises of a clean kick for the brethren. Forever would he snatch it away, so they fall on their backs.
That is a pattern that can never stop. Charlie Brown will never be able to kick the ball. But Dave does.
David C. Pack finally catches on that pushing the return of Jesus Christ (and/or the Day of the Lord) two weeks at a time is not sustainable into 2023. Instead, he punts the date two months out to finally get some Me Time.
The Day of the Lord is Abib 1, which begins at 7:40 pm on March 22, 2023.
He also teases that in Part 415, he will prove that “Elijah arises before February 10th.” That would be another date to be on the lookout for.
It is a foolish act to believe anything David C. Pack says. Do not believe him if he looks out the window and tells you it is raining. He cannot be trusted with the little things. He cannot be trusted with the big things. Do not believe him even when he quotes himself.
Those choosing to believe the Pester General of The Restored Church of God are striving after foolishness. They are not accidentally slipping on a banana peel but willfully setting aside their Bibles and intelligence to believe the lies. They are purposefully joining him on a path of inevitable failure and agreeing to disappointment as an acceptable outcome.
Further disappointment shall surely come. Though it hesitates, wait for it.
“The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 414)” was given on January 14, 2023, during the Winter Social Weekend. The Day of the Lord was supposed to begin at sunset on Friday night. Setting travel plans in motion before that was an overt act of defiance and a vote of no-confidence in the Tevet 21 proclamation.
The fact that the Winter Social Weekend exists proves nobody inside The Restored Church of God takes David C. Pack seriously.
If Headquarters brags about the attendance numbers, count them toward the growing percentage of members who do not buy Dave's malarkey. And yet, those same folks choose to stay despite the ever-increasing proofs and metrics revealing their human idol is a false teacher.
Part 414 – January 14, 2023
@ 00:25 We’ve seen God slowly draw us forward. He’s constantly laying out more track…I know that many are sitting back enjoying learning what God intends to do…
The people enjoying this are the ones YOU should stay clear from. And I mean the YOU-folks still inside RCG reading this. Those enjoying the ride would not be on a website like this. That leaves the thinking people who know things are seriously wrong but do not know what to do. I know how that feels because I have been there. So have Jessica, Elizabeth, John, Richard, and many others.
Do you want to worship a god who plays 52 Pickup with you? Or blinds his apostle? Or one that keeps laying out more track?
@ 00:46 …but kind of if I can put it this way, “Waiting for Mr. Pack to figure out timing.” I know you're thinking that brethren, partly because that's exactly how I feel. Well, I’m waiting for Mr. Pack to figure out timing.
So much for inspired preaching. So much for God leading His servant into knowledge and truth. If you are in RCG waiting for “Mr. Pack to figure out timing,” then expect to wait until never.
The 60-point list that was so important last time has already waxed dull in Dave’s eyes.
@ 01:19 Our pursuit recently has been to figure out which metrics are true. 60-point list. Which must be discarded and which are still, we’ll say, foggy.
But it was hugely important in Part 413.
Part 413 – January 4, 2023
@ 17:03 I promise you, nobody has ever written down the list I'm about to fire at you like bullets out of a machine gun. But, I'm just gonna tell you, no one was ever led to do it.
There is a good reason for that.
Part 413 – January 4, 2023
@ 17:54 We’re just gonna see if we have run into a way that they all have come to harmony. But you won't appreciate it if you don't hear what we've been battling tooth and nail.
It has already lost the harmony solidified ten days ago, making the time and effort to come up with it and teach it worthless. Not entirely worthless, just somewhat mildly worthless.
In the mood for more medical-grade gaslighting?
Part 414 – January 14, 2023
@ 08:10 …and I probably should’ve started again as I often do. We’re still on time. Believe me, more than you could ever know. Everything’s still fine. Absolutely. Absolutely. More than I could have ever believed God could tell us in this most-exciting sermon conclusion. I can’t get it all said today, but I’ll get it all said very quickly.
The denial is astounding. He makes this statement on the very day of his latest failure. January 14 is Tevet 21, the beginning of the Day of the Lord. Per ten days ago. People sitting in the audience were expecting to receive salvation but, instead, get to hear Dave tell them how "still fine" it all is.
He is counting on people to be stupid and gullible. He is relying on blind faith to keep the warm bodies in the chairs. He is depending on brethren turning off their brains to accept his insult as an expression of comfort.
As an aside, Dave needs to look up the word "conclusion" since he informs them more is coming on another day. That means this is NOT a conclusion. Oh, man. He cannot even get the littlest things correct.
David C. Pack is not a man of his word. He should not be believed even if he tells you what he had for breakfast. Somehow, it will be factually inaccurate.
Dave finally gets closer to the point of Part 414.
But while trying to do so, he repeatedly does that annoying parenthetical interruption to his own prepared statement. It is one of those things that once you see, you can never unsee. Just like I can never unsee the "arrogant sniff tick" he does that a former Headquarters person clued me in on. Yeah, you will now catch those in the video clips, too.
@ 48:24 Is there a chance that after all this time, the Bible directly tells us, if I could be dramatic, the Bible sort of looks us straight in the eye and directly tells us by naming the Day of the Lord? Exactly what day it comes.
It was one sentence. One simple sentence and Dave could not spit it out.
@ 48:48 Is it possible that we missed something? We can literally sit here this afternoon and know what this day is we’re talking about.
We is up to their old shenanigans of missing stuff and getting stuff wrong. What a disappointment We is.
@ 49:04 I’m gonna tell you something I did.
I doodied in the toilet, brethren, not in my pants.
@ 49:07 I will often get the ministers and tell them things I’m learning. But what I found was so plain. So shockingly clear and indisputable that I told five ministers…"I want you to read the following two verses, and you come back and tell me which day is the Day of the Lord."
@ 49:39 All five of them said, “It was a no-brainer. It was just that simple.” So, I'm gonna remove the mystery about the Day of the Lord, and I'm gonna tell you exactly when it is…
::cough:: Abib 1 ::cough::
Sorry, I forgot to put "Spoiler Alert."
@ 50:56 We’re only layering in the foundation today…and you [will] know exactly what day is the Day of the Lord and that it’s inarguable, it will give you a warm and peaceful and wonderful feeling…
That sounds way better than being haunted by God’s Spirit or having chest pains. But if history is our guide, those uncomfortable feelings will return as any date he sets closes in. The warm fuzzies will be replaced by the cold sting of disappointment when brethren again realize Dave has no idea what he is talking about.
I wonder if this is more “inarguable” than Tevet 21 was. Me thinks Dave needs to look up that word, too.
As it turns out, Ezekiel 45:18 was the hidden key he was looking for. Seems as though the ruse by Dave’s god had a purpose after all.
@ 1:07:49 So then, what did the Bible just directly tell you is the Day of the Lord? Abib [Nisan] 1. It’s impossible to argue with that.
@ 1:08:26 The altar was cleansed before God forever, starting on an Abib 1. If I may just say, 67 days away. All right, let that catch your breath, and then wait for the rest of the story.
Whose breath could possibly be taken away that Jesus Christ is going to return in 67 days…when as of last week, He was going to return the day they heard these words? People are sitting IN THE ROOM that were not supposed to be there because the Day of the Lord was to be ON THE DAY in which they are seated.
They were excited one day ago, but now they should be excited for 67 days from now? That is utter insanity. Talk about some next-level foolishness. Foolishness to say it and foolishness to buy it.
The folks who need to catch their breath are not the ones YOU should be talking to. Yes, YOU-folks still in RCG.
@ 1:10:24 So, Abib 1 is March 22. One day, by the way, after winter is over. Meaning flight would be in winter…So, God is gonna start years almost dead-on within a day of spring? Well, if He does it this year, He would. Next year, it’s different.
For the past seven months, we have all heard how the math and metrics do not line up for 2023. Now in January, we are hearing how the metrics will not line up for 2024.
Lucy is already positioning the football again.
The old “why-would-God-show-it-now” timing proof rears its ugly head again.
@ 1:25:10 Why would God show us Abib 1 in a definitive way? Absolutely inarguable.
I wonder if Dave remembers all these other absolute inarguables from the past.
Part 10 – January 9, 2016
@ 1:50:24 Try to imagine: we could not be told or shown too early about the First Dominion, or we would have read Revelation 22 before it was true...God, quite literally, could not tell us, or He would make Himself a liar. And He would have confused us and misled us, believing we were on a short clock when we were not.Part 211 – October 24, 2019
@ 10:19 Until God revealed this great story of one day, no man would have any chance to get straight what happens first. And He saved it for the end to fulfill a prophecy and so that his servant could, in effect, obey a command.Part 234 – February 12, 2020
@ 2:49:18 Why would God set us up with what is such a powerful case for what is not His timing?Part 297 – March 17, 2021
@ 1:19:10 Why would God reveal all of this to us now and then make us wait a year for bad math?Part 386 – August 22, 2022
@ 1:39:35 It’s possible that revealing it to me now is God sort of saying, “You get this after all these years…I’m revealing it to you.” So and maybe I’m supposed to realize it’s the beginning of being this prophet.
Oh, Dave. The lunacy is at least consistent enough to document.
Abib 1 was not the only date of note in Part 414. When you count 80 days from January 1, you get to March 22. Cut that in half to reveal a 40-day period. The halfway point is February 10. Boom.
That is the secret to "in the midst of the years," which is halfway between January 1 and Abib 1.
We are back to counting 40 days again. Surprise.
Part 414 – January 14, 2023
@ 1:28:49 I mean, it’s just basic math. It’s inarguable stuff here, brethren. That’s why I drove home Abib 1. And we had to figure out, “What do you mean ‘midst of the years?’” Boy, did we battle that one. Turns out, it really is dead-on.
So, he did NOT overread “midst” ten days ago?
Part 413 – January 4, 2023
@ 50:44 It’s [midst] just a general term…here’s where we might feel a little silly. But fun.
Walking back teachings from the previous Part must always be a little silly and fun, considering how often Dave likes to do that.
Part 414 – January 14, 2023
@ 1:29:19 Christ comes on a Sabbath. It just so happens; I'm sure this is a coincidence, right?...It just so happens that exactly 40 days before a Wednesday night Day of the Lord is a Sabbath.
@ 1:32:11 …did something happen before what would be February 10th, okay? February 10th. That's the middle of New Year's to March 22nd…
Dave still butchers the meaning of Habakkuk 2:2, which is one of many root problems as to why he fails continually. He fully activates Chicken Little mode because people in the future choose not to pay attention to his ravings.
@ 1:34:37 …before Christ comes, somebody is told, Make the vision, the whole forty days, make it plain on tables...and people blew it off. And it caused a lot of trouble on the planet…Which would explain why people are told, the sweet sheep of God in this room, would be told starting now, Don’t fear anything because there's gonna be plenty to fear between now and February 10th.
It should now be well-documented on the public stage why everyone should blow off David C. Pack.
FYI, he also meant more fear than just from a chicken egg shortage. He did not elaborate, but that was the impression.
@ 1:39:30 These dates are set, and I will say before God they can only change if the Bible can change. You cannot argue with “midst of the years.” You cannot argue with the Day of the Lord. And you cannot argue with the sheer massive proof I’m gonna lay on you next time that Elijah rises before February 10th. Enjoy your evening.
If things go wrong, the Bible is at fault. That is a well-planned fallback position.
Part 415 will be pure gold dipped in honey. The anticipation must be intense, but YOU should not lose any sleep waiting for it.
February 10 will come as surely as…well, no. Nothing biblical will happen on February 10, but faithful brethren seem determined to kick the football even though Lucy snatches it away time and time again. Good grief, Charlie Brown.
Just because Dave punted the prophetic timing two months down the field does not mean anyone has to keep running after it.
