TALE OF THE FALSE PROPHET AND FAKE APOSTLE:

AND A CALL FOR UNITY


Chapter 4


Tale Of The Fake Apostle David Pack


Now let’s hear the tale of a fake apostle named David C. Pack (DCP), Pastor General of the Restored Church of God (RCG).

DAVID PACK’S BACKGROUND

First some background on DCP and his history in God’s Church. He has been a minister in God’s Church since 1971 and was particularly close to HWA, because his wife had been HWA’s personal secretary. He was also an Olympics level swimmer, and HWA had hopes that he might win an Olympic gold medal or two for the little Ambassador College (AC - the college run by WCG, with 500 students), putting AC on the sports world map. Even though those hopes were belied, he still remained close to HWA. Another reason was that his congregations experienced growth due to his innovations, such as introduction and popularizations of intramural sports, educational programs for young children from the ages of 5-12, and others.  

HWA also discussed doctrines with DCP and spoke with him on the phone often to get the point of view on various issues from the field perspective. HWA appreciated DCP’s frank and honest opinions, even though they sometimes differed from his own.

After HWA’s death on January 1, 1986, his successor Joseph Tkach Sr and his son Joe Tkach Jr changed all the doctrines and truths God had restored through HWA. DCP refused to preach the changes and was fired from the WCG in March 1993. He joined the Global Church of God (GCG), headed by Roderick Meredith which had split from WCG the same year. 

Because of disagreements with Rod Meredith, he was suspended from the GCG. Before any further action could be taken on his suspension, Rod Meredith was fired by the GCG Board in late 1998, who then went on to form the Living Church of God (LCG) with about two-third of the ministers and members from the GCG. DCP’s services were terminated by the GCG in May 1999, but it may have been more of a resignation rather than a termination.  

By that time, Joe Tkach Jr and his close associates had asked WCG Church members to send all the literature written by HWA in their possession to headquarters because headquarters wanted to keep it as a record of his legacy. Then they burnt all that the members had sent in a bonfire. It became clear that the Tkaches were engaged in destroying all that HWA had written and suppress its distribution. Because Joe Tkach Jr was under surveillance by the government due to prophecies preached by God’s Church, this deed became known and the government decided to help preserve all of HWA’s writings and teachings.

Since Tkach Jr and his fellows thought that GRF was the only one adhering to all that HWA taught, the U.S. government decided to help him print and distribute all of HWA literature. GRF started doing so. WCG then filed a lawsuit for breach of copyright laws to stop him from printing and distributing the literature. Ultimately a compromise was reached in which WCG agreed to sell the rights to about 18 of HWA’s key books and booklets to GRF’s PCG for $3 million.   

However, many of the former WCG ministers were not favorably disposed towards GRF and PCG. So I believe DCP was not actually fired by GCG, but was encouraged to start RCG immediately after leaving GCG in May 1999 and start printing and distributing books and booklets authored by HWA, and preserving what HWA taught. It was felt that he had been the closest to HWA in the ministry and had discussed doctrines and other Church practices and policies with him many times.  

DCP re-wrote all the books and booklets authored by HWA to preserve what he taught, and the truths that he restored to God’s Church. He has done an outstanding job of that.

His output in the form of books, booklets, articles, sermons, videos etc. is prodigious. His ability to research the Bible to find answers for all kinds of questions and explain complex issues is highly praiseworthy. He has performed a very valuable service for God’s Church. Since DCP was supported by many ministers and considered to be an Israelite and a genuine devoted minister, he was helped liberally out of the funds the government has kept for me, just like GRF and PCG were. This enabled him to publish a vast amount of literature, preach on many TV stations, start a minister training center, and build a fine campus for all the activities.

DCP understands prophecy as explained by HWA very well. HWA was able to trace his ancestry to British royalty. This was needed because a lawgiver had to be of Jewish ancestry. DCP claims in his authorized biography that he is descended from the British royal family, hence a descendant of King David. He has provided a great deal of detail on his ancestry and is therefore probably telling the truth. But he also has some German blood in him. 

WHEN DID DAVID PACK GO BAD

I did not know who David Pack was until a minister in UCG pointed out to me that I should also read his writings. The year could have been 2007. So I started reading his literature on the RCG web site. Since I had started my messages on December 02, 2006, I found his website very useful for research. My direct contact with him came in 2010 when I wrote him a letter about uniting God’s churches.

I have never met DCP. But I have wondered when he started going bad, particularly in relation to me. I am making educated guesses.

David Pack may have heard about me when he was in the GCG from 1993 - 1999. Then in May 1999 he started RCG. Initially he was extremely busy rewriting HWA’s literature and getting RCG going. I would have been far out of his mind for a few years. I was also doing no work of any kind of preaching the gospel at that time.

After he had rewritten a great deal of the literature published by HWA by about 2004, he then started devoting himself to building RCG membership, in addition to increasing his literature library. That would have gone on for about 2-4 more years. He looked at the Church landscape and knew that the best source of increase in membership would come from other Church Of God organizations that had separated from WCG. These included WCG, UCG, PCG, LCG, and other smaller organizations. So he developed s splinter-packet, as he calls it, for members who were attending these Churches but wanted to explore what other organizations were doing. In his splinter packet, DCP had started claiming that the RCG was the only true remnant of the Philadelphian era of God’s Church, and all others were lukewarm Laodiceans. This did not sit well with any of the leaders in the other Church of God groups. At that time he did not claim to be an apostle. This is also exactly what GRF claimed about PCG.

DCP would have been forced to pay attention to me when I started delivering my weekly messages on December 2, 2006, which every human being could hear in his or her own language.  

In 2010 UCG split and COGWA was formed by about one-third of UCG ministers and members. That year we had our first contact in the form of the letter I sent to him in my effort to unite the various Church groups into one organization. RCG did respond to my letter in a general way. But nothing came from that effort.

DCP was also forced to consider my other views. I had made a judgment around 2002 that German masqueraders in the USA, British Commonwealth nations, Israel, France and all other Israelite nations should be exterminated, man, woman and child, for the horrendous crimes they have committed in our countries. Since DCP has some German blood in him, that may have concerned him somewhat, but not in a major way, as he has much more Israelite, and royal blood in him.

THE CONSPIRACY

I also strongly believe that DCP got involved in a conspiracy against me, instigated by one of his in-laws who came from a Middle-eastern country, and was a minister in the UCG. The conspiracy could have started about 14-15 years back. The cause was my position on the presence of people of different races in the USA and other Israelite nations. I had taken the position about 18-19 years ago that people of different races should be allowed to return to their countries of origin. I came from India and know what people of other races think about whites. I foresaw that in 2-3 generations people in America and Britain would be looking like Italians and other South Europeans, or even Middle Eastern people. Ezra and Nehemiah had to deal with something similar. 

I saw that through nearly four millennia, God had preserved Israelites as primarily the purest white race. Some white Israelites had always mixed with local people in their wanderings. God let those people remain in the countries in which they intermarried, like the Punjabis, which includes my ancestors in India. God filtered those that remained racially pure through various countries and brought them to Europe and north America. I realized that this needed to be done again. That’s why I suggested to the American leadership that people of various races should be allowed to go back to their countries of origin.  

Because of this declared policy, some people in God’s ministry worried about what the decision about them would be. That included the particular in-law of David Pack, who felt threatened that he might be asked to leave the USA with his family.

I believe David Pack and his activist in-law chose to take the matter into their own hands in an attempt to influence most of the ministry to reject me as any kind of a prophet or anyone with whom God would work. They hatched a conspiracy to malign me so that I would never be able to hold any office to make decisions about implementing the suggestion to let people of other races return to their countries of origin. I don’t think they were colluding with GRF at PCG. But motive of each of them was to make himself Number One in God’s Church.

DCP exploited HWA’s views on anyone receiving direct revelation from God, or through His angels. Mr. Armstrong made this statement in the Tomorrow’s World magazine, June 1972: 

“Emphatically I am not a prophet, in the sense of one to whom God speaks specially and directly, revealing personally a future event to happen, or new truth, or new and special instruction direct from God - separate from and apart  from what is contained in the Bible. And I never have claimed to be.

“There is no such human prophet living today!

“The Bible is the written word of God - and, for our time now, it is COMPLETE! Never have I believed or claimed that God reveals to me new truths contained in the Bible - in addition to, or apart from the Bible.”

GRF and DCP greatly emphasized this view of HWA. The implication of this view was that any who claimed they had direct revelation from Jesus Christ, or heard the voice of an angel had to be false prophets, or having communication with demons. Since I claimed that God had delivered messages to me through angels, it was easy for them to malign me by calling me demon influenced. 

My being appointed to the office of a prophet was first revealed to the Germans in 1990 by Satan. That revelation did not come from God, or God’s angels. Since Satan is a liar, it was easy to disregard his revelation that I had been appointed to the office of a prophet. 

Another element was added to the mix around 1999 - 2000. Many people saw my face shine, in a manner similar to Moses’ face shining in the presence of Israelites as described in Exodus 34:29-35. This has happened in all the larger Church of God organizations that I have attended: WCG, PCG, LCG, RCG and UCG. In the PCG 500 members and ministers witnessed the phenomenon at a young adults gathering, whereas over 1,000 witnessed it in the UCG at the Feast of Tabernacles in September 2018. This evidence was completely disregarded.   

Then around 2001, God intervened in another way. I had learnt how German masqueraders had been murdering people of Israelite descent by poisoning them, or cremating them alive in electric crematoriums. I realized how easy it was to murder people in this age. So I prayed to God to prevent mass murders from happening. At that time, Satan apparently gave the order for German masqueraders to murder prominent generals, leaders, all IT people, and for German masquerader spouses to murder their Israelite spouses and their children. The order was carried out. But God intervened to prevent these murder attempts from succeeding. This evidence for my being appointed to the office of a prophet like Moses was also disregarded.

Also around 2001, Satan and the demons started broadcasting my thoughts to the world. The Germans saw that my business suggestions were making a huge difference for American companies. For example, my suggestion to use mathematics to design better software was implemented by Microsoft. Then IBM and Intel took the idea to make breakthroughs in producing faster computer processors. This breakthrough stunned the Germans. So they asked the German masqueraders employed in these companies what the reason was. Without hesitation they told them that my suggestion to use mathematics led to the breakthroughs.  

I had also developed a model of economic development and international trade and shared it with the world in 1996. In 1997 I explained how a currency becomes the reserve currency of the world. This prompted the Germans to request Satan to broadcast my thoughts in order to have access to my business ideas. Satan and the demons obliged. Since 2001 they have been broadcasting my thoughts 24/07/365 to every human being on earth that wants to hear them. However, I believe they broadcast my thoughts in the language I think them. These are not available to every human being in his or her own language.

But Satan and the demons are liars. For a liar to be effective, he must mix truth with error. If a liar always told a lie, then we would need to simply believe the opposite of what the liar stated and we would have the truth. Satan and the demons are also malicious and are destroyers. They will use all the resources available to them to malign with the aim of destroying a person or his reputation to make his life as miserable as possible.

Since God has allowed Satan and the demons to broadcast my thoughts, because of their nature, they simply first circulate some vile or negative discouraging thought into my mind and broadcast it as my thought. In other cases, they broadcast pure damnable, most vicious and hurtful lies as my thoughts. Many such lies are designed to turn people into my deadliest enemies. That way they have portrayed me as a sexual pervert, a person totally lacking in confidence, particularly of his intellectual capabilities, one who is always thinking malicious thoughts, and a whole host of other lies. This too has been exploited by GRF and DCP to the hilt to bolster their arguments that I am demon influenced and God would not use me for His work. The U.S. government also has used this “evidence” which has kept me in poverty for the past 18 years.

When I started delivering my weekly messages on December 2, 2006, initially the messages were delivered by Satan and the demons to every human being on earth for seven and a half months. When I had completed my messages of warning, Satan and the demons stopped delivering them! Since then God’s angels have been delivering them. 

It was easy for GRF and DCP to exploit this situation also and continue to malign me by claiming that my messages are probably still broadcast by demons, and not God’s angels. GRF continued to malign me by maintaining that he was the prophet (because I still defended him despite being disfellowshipped by him, and thought he was doing the work of a prophet as God used him to warn the Church to get on track with the Little Book mentioned in Revelation 10, which was his book “Malachi’s Message”) and I was a nobody who had little understanding of the Bible, whom God could not use for His work. 

Later I started writing my weekly messages in the form of books in which I explained further messages delivered to me by angels. Of course, for GRF, DCP and their co-conspirators, his in-law, and another minister who had been very close to Mr. Armstrong, who is also of mixed German-Israelite blood, and all those DCP’s in-law had convinced, this was further evidence that I was demon-influenced since HWA had stated many times that there are no prophets alive today to whom God or angels directly deliver messages; and anybody making such a claim is probably a false prophet. The minister who had been very closed to HWA, particularly in his last days would have corroborated GRF and DCP slander by saying that it was his opinion that if HWA was alive today, he would consider me a false prophet, and not at all the kind of person whom God would use to do His work.

Because of some of the messages delivered to me, my interpretation of the prophetic sequence of events differed from what was previously understood by Mr. Armstrong. This too was used as a strike against me by GRF, DCP and their co-conspirators to buttress their claim that I was demon-influenced, despite Mr. Armstrong clearly stating in his writings that some future prophetic events can only be understood when prophecies about certain prior events have already been fulfilled.

In the face of opinion of all these ministers, and GRF and DCP who were heading their own Church organizations and had written scores of books and booklets, were on TV preaching the gospel and had a large Internet presence and seemed to be pillars in the Church, it was easy for the U.S. government, and most in the Church of God organizations to discount the other evidence to the contrary such as: my face shining; God’s intervention in saving millions when Satan’s order to murder Israelites was carried out; my contributions to the U.S. economy that had saved us from economic slavery to the German masqueraders, and all the other evidence I had provided in favor of my having been appointed to the office of a prophet like Moses. I have described all this evidence in my article “A Prophet Like Moses”, available free on my web site. 

Another major factor in maligning me was that they claimed I did not have absolutely perfect self-control in everything, or that I did not know how to live. They simply disregarded the fact that I often earned less then $1000/month, with periods of unemployment in-between, not holding a job for more than 10 months continuously till I started working for the State of Florida, and often using credit cards to pay my living expenses. All this was a result of being targeted by German masqueraders to prevent me from getting a decent job. 

GRF exploited all these issues to the hilt. David Pack also started exploiting all these factors against me to claim that God would simply not use a person like me to do His work.

GOD’S PROOF OF MESSAGES THROUGH ANGELS

Then another major event occurred around February 2016. As already explained, I realized that God had already provided incontrovertible proof that He had delivered messages to me through angels when my Jewish ancestry was revealed and also that I am a descendant of King David through Queen Elizabeth. For 18 long years this fact did not even enter into my mind. But when I started delivering my weekly messages on the topic of God’s messages delivered to me through angels, I included this proof in my messages.

This now posed the biggest problem for GRF, DCP and all their co-conspirators since they could no longer deny that God had delivered messages to me. They could no longer continue to claim that all my messages were demon-influenced and were still being delivered by Satan and the demons on a weekly basis.

As part of my research, I make it a point to read any new literature various Church of God organizations, particularly UCG, LCG, PCG and RCG, have produced. Last time I had updated myself was about 5-6 years ago. I decided to update myself on their literature a few months back. I was absolutely astonished at the new claims GRF and DCP were making.  

DCP has now started claiming that he holds the office of an apostle (which means ‘one sent forth by God’) citing the fruits of the work he is doing as evidence, including how his Church has experienced a phenomenal increase in year-on-year income.   

DCP also emphasized at great length in many of his books that God simply would not use an untrained person in His work and appoint him to a high office. Clearly this was directed against me.

But his most astonishing claim was that HWA first fulfilled the office of Moses when he laid the foundation of obedience to God’s law in the Church, and then fulfilled the office of a prophet like Elijah. When I read that, I laughed out aloud as everything now fell into place to show that all the changes David Pack had made in his publications in the past 3 years were in response to my messages in February 2016 proving that God Himself had provided proof that He had delivered messages to me through angels.  

PROOFS THAT DAVID PACK IS A FALSE APOSTLE

With that background information on David Pack, let’s now look at the evidence that he is a fake apostle. 

1) Increase in Church Income Is Not Proof Of An Apostle

The word apostle means “one who is sent by God.” We know HWA was an apostle because he was sent by God. The evidence is the dream that HWA’s wife Loma Armstrong had in September-October 1917 that Jesus had important work for them to do to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ. DCP on the other hand was sent by ministers in God’s Church to start RCG in order to preserve the doctrines and truths that God has restored through HWA. DCP did an excellent job of that by writing many books and booklets. He also maintained God’s government structure in the RCG with one man solely in-charge.  

In his autobiography, HWA described numerous incidents when God’s work was miraculously funded at critical times with almost the exact amount of donations pouring in, equal to the immediate need almost to the penny. DCP is trying to make similar claims by stating that God was blessing his work as his Church’s income was experiencing phenomenal year-on-year increases. He provided the following figures in increases in income over the previous year in his book “The Work of God - It’s Final Chapter” in Chapter 17: 2002 - over 45%; 2003—a bit under 3%; 2004—over 42%; 2005—almost right at 23%; 2006—over 41%; 2007—over 77%; 2008—31%; 2009—over 19%; 2010—over 37%; 2011 - over 90%.

The truth is that since DCP was supported by many ministers and considered to be an Israelite and a genuine devoted minister, he was helped very liberally out of the funds the government has kept for me, just like GRF was helped. Thus he had the funds to publish all the literature, preach on TV on many stations, start a minister training center, and build a fine campus for all the activities. Income did not come from the tithes (means a tenth of income) and offerings of members, or in any miraculous way that was experienced during HWA’s ministry. Therefore, year-on-year increase in RCG income is not proof that he holds the office of an apostle sent by God.

2) Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy

One sent by Jesus Christ is usually sent with new prophetic revelation. God says in Revelation 19:10, “…the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Besides Jesus Christ, no one has understood prophecy better than HWA. Much prophecy was delivered by God through Daniel the prophet and John the apostle. But they did not understand the prophecies given to them because they were sealed to the time of the end. I believe the end-times started with the dream that HWA’s wife Loma Armstrong had in September-October 1917 announcing that Jesus Christ would be returning to earth soon. After that understanding of end-time prophecies was given to HWA. Therefore, HWA had the testimony that he was sent by Jesus Christ.

At the Feast of Tabernacles in Vail, Colorado in 1998, God revealed to me a new understanding of the sequence of end-time events through an angel. The specific message was that the first four trumpets of Revelation 8:6-12 describe the war between the King of the North against the King of the South as mentioned in Daniel 11:40-43. This revelation was a critical piece of the jigsaw puzzle that enabled me to put end-time events in proper sequence. Thus I too have the testimony of Jesus Christ that I have been sent by Him.

David Pack on the other hand has merely rewritten what HWA taught about prophecy. He has no new revelation about understanding prophecy. This is very strong proof that he was not sent by Jesus to be an apostle. He does not have the testimony of Jesus.

3) An Apostle Does Not Use God's Word Deceitfully

An apostle sent by Jesus Christ would NEVER use God’s word deceitfully by twisting scriptures to prove any point, or to magnify himself. Only a fake apostle and a false prophet would do that.  Gerald Flurry twisted scriptures to claim that he is “That Prophet”, a king, and many other offices and titles.  

A fake apostle has to twist scriptures in order to deceive the world into believing his lies. His huge lie is that HWA fulfilled the role of a prophet like Moses (because I had provided proofs that this role is being fulfilled by my work) as well as Elijah the prophet. 

Here is what DCP writes in his book “The Work of God - It’s Final Chapter; Ch 10 titled - The “Short Work” and “A Remnant”

“First, recognize that Mr. Armstrong was used by God to bring many doctrines to the Philadelphian era of the Church in the 20th century. In some cases, he re-established understanding that was given to the first-century Church, but that had been lost over the centuries. In other cases, he was used to reveal knowledge that was previously “sealed”—never before understood. This primarily applies to the panorama of end-time prophecy recorded in the books of Daniel and Revelation.

“…Mr. Armstrong laid the DOCTRINAL FOUNDATION for the final eras of the New Testament Church. This fulfills Zechariah 4:9: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me unto you.” Mr. Armstrong came to understand that this refers to him as a type of Zerubbabel, and this was made known to all of God’s people at the time. The record of history shows that he did establish this foundation for the spiritual Temple—the “house” of God—the Church. The Hebrew term translated “finish” in this verse actually means “to break off.” After his foundational commission was complete, Mr. Armstrong did break off—finish his course, in January of 1986—but not before making clear, in his last Brethren/Co-worker Letter, that “the greatest Work lies yet ahead.” He understood that the finishing of the rest of the Temple, above and squarely on the foundation, was beyond his lifetime.”

The Hebrew word translated as ‘finish’ in Strong’s Concordance, Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary is # 1214 batsa, which, depending on the context, can mean to break off, i.e. usually plunder [thus this word can be translated ‘to break off’ in the context of plunder]; to finish, or stop, be covetous, cut off, finish, fulfill, gain (greedily), get, perform. 

Out of 51 translations of Zechariah 4:9, 27 of them translate it is as ‘finish’, 23 translate it as ‘complete’ and one translates it as ‘perform.’ Nowhere in the Bible is this word translated ‘break off.’ David Pack thinks the rest of the world is out of step but him in translating this word. The meaning he uses does not fit the context at all.

DCP continues: 

“But it has now been made plain that Mr. Armstrong’s role and identity are even more expansive. Malachi 4 also references Mr. Armstrong—this time as a final type of Moses: “Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments” (vs.4). (Remember in the Hebrew is defined as “to mark so as to be recognized.” This could not apply to the original Moses, who is among the most widely remembered and well-recognized figures in world history.)

“Again, Mr. Armstrong brought the doctrinal foundation (“law”) that is still being built upon in God’s Church today!

“Malachi 4 then foretells an end-time Elijah to come after Moses, but shortly before the Return of Christ: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” (vs. 5-6). The New Testament adds that this Elijah would “restore all things” to the Church (Matthew 17:11).”

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word translated ‘remember’ is # 2141, zakar, which, depending on the context, can mean ‘to mark’ (so as to be recognized); to mention; make mention of; be mindful; remember, make to be remembered, bring to remembrance; think on. 

Out of 48 translations of Malachi 4:4, this word is translated ‘remember’ by 46 of them; ‘don’t ever forget’ by one and ‘bethink you the law of Moses’ in one. Nowhere in the Bible is this word translated as ‘to mark’ or ‘recognize’ or ‘recognized.’ Again, DCP is making up his own translation that does not fit the context. 

DCP is claiming that Mr. Armstrong as a type of Moses laid the doctrinal foundation (“law”) and then his work was broken off by his death, and that the spiritual house, or temple, meaning God’s Church is still being built upon that doctrinal foundation. That would imply that doctrines are still being added to that foundation.

One does not have to dig deep to see DCP’s deceit in twisting these scriptures. It is so obvious. 

Matthew 17:11 states, “11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.” Restore all things does not mean merely laying the foundation for restoration of all things. Mr. Armstrong as the end-time Elijah restored all the doctrines. He did not merely lay the foundation on which the fake apostle DCP needs to build, or add doctrines, to complete the spiritual house. 

Malachi 4:4 is a very simple, plain statement. There is no ambiguity about its meaning. It says “Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb [Mt. Sinai] for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” All the world’s churches believe that the law of Moses has been done away with. We no longer need to keep the Sabbath, or any of the Ten Commandments. This verse is admonishing God’s Church to remember the law of Moses to keep it diligently. It in no way implies that an end-time Moses, meaning HWA, is to be recognized. No translation translates this verse to imply that Moses, or an end-time Moses is to be recognized.  

When Malachi 4:4-6 are read together, nothing in these verses says or even remotely implies that God will send a prophet like Moses who will lay the doctrinal foundation upon which someone will build later, who will also then fulfill the role of Elijah the prophet. These verses plainly admonish to remember the law of Moses, the implication being that it will be taught by an end-time Elijah whom God will send. These verses do not even remotely imply that God will send a type of Moses first to lay down the doctrinal foundation, who will then also fulfill the role of Elijah. The prophesied role of Elijah is to restore all things. If the end-time Elijah restored all things, then how can DCP claim that HWA merely laid the doctrinal foundation. Clearly DCP is twisting scriptures to make this false claim.  

Lets return to Zechariah 4:9, “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it…”

Who can read this scripture and claim that Zerubbabel will lay the [doctrinal] foundation of this house [church], but somebody else will finish that house on the foundation laid down by Zerubbabel. But that is precisely what DCP is saying, when he states: “Mr. Armstrong brought the doctrinal foundation (“law”) that is still being built upon in God’s Church today!” The truth, so often clearly stated by Mr. Armstrong, is that ‘he restored all things” (Matthew 17:11). He restored all the doctrines, not merely laid the foundation for them. So he fulfilled the role of Elijah, who ‘restored all things’ and not that of a Moses who would merely lay the ‘doctrinal foundation.’

As quoted earlier, DCP also made this statement: “The record of history shows that he [Mr. Armstrong] did establish this foundation for the spiritual Temple—the “house” of God—the Church. The Hebrew term translated “finish” in this verse actually means “to break off.” After his foundational commission was complete, Mr. Armstrong did break off—finish his course, in January of 1986—but not before making clear, in his last Brethren/Co-worker Letter, that “the greatest Work lies yet ahead.” He understood that the finishing of the rest of the Temple, above and squarely on the foundation, was beyond his lifetime.”

Here DCP is twisting HWA’s statement. When HWA said “the greatest Work lies yet ahead’, he meant that the work of ‘preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God’ (Matthew 24:14) would go on till the return of Jesus Christ. The work did not mean restoration of more doctrines upon the doctrinal foundation HWA had laid. In fact, DCP has written a whole book to prove that the gospel of the Kingdom of God still needs to be preached titled “THE WORK OF GOD: Its Final Chapter.” 

DCP is also deliberately deceitfully misinterpreting Zechariah 4:9 in another way. In the Bible, when something is built by God, it is referred to as ‘made without hands.’ Examples include Daniel 2:45, 2 Corinthians 5:1 and Hebrews 9:1. In addition, what God builds is also permanent, or of very long duration such as a temple. For example, in Matthew 16:18 Jesus says: “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Here Jesus was discussing building the Church through all its seven eras (Revelation 2 and 3).

In contrast, when God builds something through a human being, the Bible says ‘his hands will build it.’ What is built with human hands is always temporary. In Zechariah 4:9, Zerubbabel is portrayed with “his hands laying the foundation of this house, and his hands also finishing it.” God here is prophesying that a man like Zerubbabel will lay the foundation of a house (not the Church as Jesus Christ built that will last through seven eras, but something more temporary such as an era of the Church) and also finish it. History shows us the crystal clear interpretation of this prophecy. God through HWA’s hands laid the foundation of the Philadelphian era of His Church, and his hands also finished it when He had restored all doctrines and other godly Church practices through him. This house, or this era of God’s Church was finished when HWA passed away on January 16, 1986.

HWA wrote a letter to the Church in March 1981 in which he explained his role as Zerubbabel. Then he stated: “God has never removed a man called to a specific leadership or assignment or commission until his mission is completed.” 

HWA certainly completed his mission! He finished “this house,” or “an era of God’s Church”, “restored all things” and “turned the hearts of the fathers to the children (Malachi 4:5-6).” God did not leave this part of God’s work incomplete, with only the foundation being laid to raise up another man, DCP, to complete it. This is a figment of DCP’s delusional imagination. More likely he is desperately, deliberately twisting these scriptures to try and prove that HWA also fulfilled the role of Moses. 

Since HWA completed the house, all we have to do is maintain it. That maintenance requires making judgments regarding Church matters and relationships between Church members depending on the specific situations, and not adding more fundamental doctrines to what has already been restored. 

DCP’s claim that HWA fulfilled the office of Moses is utterly ridiculous and laughable. A prophet who has been sent in the spirit and power of another prophet knows who he is and the role he is fulfilling. John the Baptist when asked by those sent by the Pharisees who he was replied in John 1:23: “ 23 I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias,” quoting Isaiah 40:3. Jesus then explained that John the Baptist was also the Elijah to come in Matthew 17:12, “But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished.”

Mr. Armstrong knew that he fulfilled the role of Elijah the prophet. He never stated that he fulfilled the role of a prophet like Moses also. He did not need DCP to tell him posthumously that he was also a prophet like Moses as well as a prophet like Elijah. DCP is acting almost like Jesus Christ telling us that HWA did a work like Moses before fulfilling the role of the end-time Elijah.

DCP is a fake apostle because he has used God’s word deceitfully in his writings.

4) Only Fake Apostles Lie About Miracles

Reading DCP’s authorized biography, one would be led to believe that he has led an extraordinarily miraculous life. But if DCP could resort to lies in handling scriptures and malign others, I would not put it past him to lie about the fantastic miracles of protection he claimed in his authorized biography. It is an old masquerader trick to impress people in the Church. Here are two ‘miracles’ I have heard about from others. One claimed that he was driving long distance in the early hours of the morning and fell asleep at the wheel. He woke up about three-four hours later with the sun shining brightly in his eyes and the car still driving perfectly on the highway. Another woman claimed that her car broke down on the highway. She did not know how she was going to get home. So she prayed to God and then started her car. It started and she reached home. Then she took it to the mechanic who pointed out to her what all had broken down and needed repairs. She says she knew God had worked a fantastic miracle for her to get her home. 

Here is the miracle described by DCP in his authorized biography, Volume 1 when he was a minister in Rockford, IL:

“Early one morning I took off to visit, heading down Highway 2. There were stretches of road where on the right side was a steep embankment, and on the left side was a long, sharp drop-off down to the river’s edge, and a guardrail. The traffic would often back up in this area because it was a two-lane highway—and there were really no shoulders in this stretch of the road. 

“A young man’s negligence and impatience almost got him killed. I pulled out to pass from behind a truck that was blocking my view, and realized immediately that I could not clear the truck and return to my lane in time. I had not seen a pick-up truck barreling toward me. I tried to slow back into the spot just vacated, but a Cadillac had filled in behind me. 

“There was absolutely nothing I could do—I could not go left or right. No time remaining, the truck would now hit me head on—except nothing happened. As it reached me, both of us going about 60 mph, it simply passed right through my vehicle. One moment it was in front of my hood, the next it was in my rearview mirror. 

“My life had been spared by divine intervention! I have never doubted what happened that day in 1974. I only wonder if anyone else involved was aware as I was of what had occurred.”

This may or may not have been a genuine miracle. I think it is fabricated. No way to verify. But it is known that masqueraders routinely concoct such lies to impress people in the Church.

In my case, I have survived hundreds of attempts on my life by masqueraders and their allies, the tares in God’s Church. They do not deny it.

Godly people don’t automatically question the veracity of others, especially religious people. That’s why they can get away with deception for a long time, until some negative information cannot be ignored and such deceivers are exposed. That’s why DCP was able to deceive me for the past 12 years.

5) End-Time Prophets To Come Prophesied

David Pack claims that he is an apostle. GRF added that office to his many other offices after Pack started calling himself an apostle. 

The end-time is so critical in Church and world history that God prophesied the prophets He would send. Potentially only four prophets are prophesied to come. End-time Elijah (Malachi 4:5-6) was one. Three men fulfilled the Elijah role: the original Elijah, John the Baptist before Jesus’ first coming (Matthew 17:10-12); and HWA in the end-time before Jesus’ second coming. In the same way, the role of a prophet like Moses was to have a three-fold fulfillment: first by the original Moses, then by Jesus Christ (Acts 3:22, 7:37), and then in the end-time. Mr. Armstrong did not fulfill the role of a prophet like Elijah and Moses. If that were so, Bible prophecy would have indicated that, and HWA would also have recognized that. 

Since HWA ‘restored all things’ including all doctrines, and since doctrines can come into the Church only through apostles, HWA fulfilled the role of an apostle. Apostles are greater in Church rank than prophets (1 Corinthians 12:28). If prophets to come were all prophesied, it is certain if another apostle who was not already a prophet were to come, his coming would have been prophesied in the Bible. But there is no such apostle to come prophesied in the Bible. 

There is no indication that anybody else would hold the office of an apostle in the end-time. On the other hand Moses was a judge in addition to being a prophet; sort of like a king. It stands to reason that the end-time Moses would fulfill a similar role. God provided evidence that he has appointed me to a similar role as well because some people looking at me saw a vision of me crowned like a king and shared their vision with others. 

Micah 2:13 provides additional scriptural support for this role: “13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.” The role of the breaker was fulfilled by Gerald Flurry who was the first to break off from the WCG and start PCG. But then someone would fulfill the role of a king with the Lord, Jesus Christ, as the head of the Church. 

Besides a prophet like Elijah, a prophet like Moses, two other prophets are prophesied to come in the end-time: the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3-12. In verse 10 they are called prophets. The prophet like Moses could fulfill the role of one of the two witnesses if he is still alive when the two witnesses begin their testimony. Or the two witnesses could be entirely two different men. No other apostle is prophesied to come in the end-time. So David Pack is assuming the title of his own accord. God has not given him that office.

6) What the Prophet Like Moses Would do was Prophesied

Moses prophesied about a prophet like him in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19: “15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear…18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 19 And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”

God says He will put His words in the prophet’s mouth and He will speak whatever He commands him. One of the fulfillments of this prophecy is that God has delivered messages through angels directly to me which I have shared with the world. Some of these messages have to do with judgments which only the U.S. and British governments can carry out. Even the role of the two witnesses, whoever they may be, is clarified in one of the messages. 

Clearly HWA did not fulfill what is described in the role of the prophet like Moses. DCP is merely twisting scriptures to claim that HWA fulfilled this role also. Only a fake apostle would twist scriptures.

7) Only A Fake Apostle Would Commit Murder

The strongest proof that DCP is a fake apostle is the crime he has committed. DCP has written so much about the Philadelphians in God’s Church who are promised the reward of being pillars in God’s temple, meaning pillars in God’s universe ruling kingdom at His headquarters. 

God gave DCP a fantastic opportunity to become just that. But what a spineless, faithless, cowardly rat DCP has proved himself to be. My information is that because of fulfillment of prophecy about the coming national slavery for the USA, Britain and the state of Israel at the hands of a German led alliance, since he has a tiny amount of German blood in him, he has committed murder of a genuine Israelite, member of God’s true Church, to prove his loyalty to the German side, knowing fully well that the German side means Satan’s side. He has demonstrated that he has no faith at all in God’s almighty power. He has thrown God’s admonition in Hebrews 11:6 to the wind: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”  

GRF has also committed this dastardly deed. He and DCP have chosen their side, and sealed their agreement with that side by committing murder. With that they have sealed their judgment as well, paying exactly the same price per the judgment on that side: to be exterminated, man, woman and child, meaning all their descendants.

Search the Bible, or the history of God’s true Church and you will not find a single example of a genuine apostle of God, sent by Jesus Christ, to have ever committed murder. This is the strongest proof yet that DCP is a fake apostle and GRF is a false prophet. Some of their followers have followed them in committing the same dastardly villainous deed. They will all pay exactly the same price.

GRF and DCP have assumed many titles and offices. They are adhering to God’s form of government taught by HWA, which none of the other larger Church of God (COG) organizations adhere to; though their reasoning that they will adhere to God’s form of government when God shows them a leader they can all follow, has some validity. In GRF and DCP’s reasoning, since they have already succeeded in their endeavors beyond their wildest dreams, God and Jesus Christ are now faced with a fait accompli and would have to confirm the titles on them that they have assumed on their own. Just as Balaam thought that by moving to different locations God might change His mind and still curse Israel so that he could get the reward from Balaak, these two think they can force God to confirm their self-conferred title and offices.

What a way for GRF and DCP to make shipwreck, as stated in 1 Timothy 1:19-20: “19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, 20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.” 

For our time, Jesus asked an all-important questions of each one of us about the time of His return to earth in Luke 18:8: “…when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” GRF and DCP and others like them in God’s true Church who have participated in similar murders collectively answer the question for us: “Apparently not much?” But only you can answer that question for yourself, and do what you can to develop your faith for the time remaining before the return of Jesus Christ so that you are not found lacking. 

GRF was able to explain away the prophet like Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 by assuming the same title himself, but not calling himself a prophet like Moses. DCP assumed the title of apostle for himself by making himself of higher rank that the prophet like Moses. Their minds have now become perverted. That’s why they are now engaged in blasphemy, mixing error with truth, just like Satan the devil, in order to deceive. Unless they and those with them repent and can demonstrate it convincingly to Jesus Christ, they can certainly look forward to hearing Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:23: “23…I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity;” and God’s judgment in Revelation 21:8: the Lake of Fire.

GRF and DCP have turned out to be the best camouflaged wolves in sheep’s clothing, perhaps in the entire history of God’s true Church.

The root source of their going bad in order to deceive was their love of PRE-EMINENCE like Diotrephes in 3 John 9. When we read that verse we are astonished at how big a fool Diotrephes was to love the pre-eminence. GRF and DCP have proven to be many notches above Diotrephes in their foolish acts. They may have blown up their chance of being made into God’s jewels (Malachi 3:16-17).

It all started when they learnt that I had been appointed to the office of a prophet like Moses. They could not bear the thought of coming under the authority of someone else. Then GRF began claiming every office and title he could find in the Bible, or anyone else had assumed. DCP assumed the highest office, that of an apostle, and began writing blasphemies such as HWA fulfilled both the office of a prophet like Moses and then Elijah.

It seems courage is a rare commodity. The ones we thought were pillars of courage have turned out to be spineless, gutless, chicken-hearted apologies for men scurrying away to join the devil’s side at the slightest hint of danger, leaving their followers who did not join them to fend for themselves.
