David C Pack

And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb." And he added, "These are true words that come from God."- Revelation 19:9 As Pastor General of The Restored Church of God, David C. Pack oversees the world’s most extensive Bible based websites. He attended Ambassador College, entered the Worldwide Church of God ministry in 1971 and was personally trained by Herbert W. Armstrong. He has established over 50 congregations, authored over 80 books and booklets, a vast array of articles, and appeared on The History Channel. As Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of The Real Truth magazine and voice of The World to Come program, he has reached many millions around the globe with the most powerful truths of the Bible, unknown to almost all. Born in 1948, Mr. Pack grew up in the American Midwest, in Lima, Ohio. Focused largely on sports and competitive swimming for 14 years, and having achieved high school all-American honors, as well as having begun training for the 1968 Olympics, Mr. Pack experienced a major turning point that became a course-altering—and LIFE-altering—event. He began to listen to The World Tomorrow radio program, sponsored by the Radio Church of God (later renamed the Worldwide Church of God), and heard Herbert W. Armstrong announce the true gospel of the Bible—the good news of the coming kingdom of God. Declining acceptance to Dartmouth College, as well as an appointment to the United States Naval Academy, and numerous scholarship offers, Mr. Pack chose Ambassador College at Pasadena, California, world headquarters of the Church. Upon graduation in 1971, he married Shirley Ochs (who died in 2007), a fellow Ambassador College graduate and former personal secretary to Mr. Armstrong, and entered the ministry. He served congregations in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey and Ohio, and trained and supervised other ministers in a wider region. Having begun as a writer in the 1970s, Mr. Pack’s vast array of books, booklets and articles has helped millions learn biblical truths as never before. He has traveled the world, pastored thousands, and conducted many public Bible lectures. Mr. Pack has also held a number of leadership positions that have given him a wide range of ministerial and administrative experience. Upon Mr. Armstrong’s death in January 1986, the true gospel message and virtually every teaching that flows from this most central truth was rejected by his successors. Standing on conviction, Mr. Pack left the Worldwide Church of God in 1993, educating and leading the way for thousands who would follow. Determined not to compromise his beliefs, Mr. Pack started RCG in May 1999. The Restored Church of God is a truly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrest grows daily around the world. Terrorism mounts. Bad news increases, while good news is increasingly scarce. Conditions worsen daily! Man has tapped the power of the atom. Science and technology have seemingly run amok, producing more horrific new inventions. Now, more and more countries possess weapons of mass destruction. This danger is compounded because mistrust and strife between nations has never been greater. Also, human decadence and immorality, famine, disease, racism and competition among ethnic rivals, and crime and violence are exploding. Where are these downward trends leading? Will human life survive? What does the future hold? All want to know. Many have opinions, but few recognize where to find the ANSWERS. Others think they understand the prophecies of the Bible—and this is probably most true of the book of Revelation. Yet all popular human interpretations of this book, at best, border on ridiculous. They are a complete jumble of ideas where a little truth is mixed with much error! They are almost painful to read—yet major magazines report that great numbers do believe these dangerous, counterfeit scenarios. What is the truth about prophecy? What does the Bible really say about events preceding Christ’s Return? His disciples wanted to know. They asked Him, “What shall be the SIGN of Your coming, and of the end of the world [age]?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who Was Herbert W. Armstrong? Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God (formerly the Radio Church of God until 1968) until his death in 1986. Tens of millions of people heard his voice and read his literature. God called him in the fall of 1926, and he was converted in the spring of 1927. Over the course of his 52-year ministry, God revealed from the Bible hundreds of true doctrines through him, which had been lost through the centuries; Mr. Armstrong said this many times himself. In the years after his death, his successors ceased to believe and teach these doctrines. Although copyright law prohibits The Restored Church of God from reproducing and distributing literature produced during the time he led the Worldwide Church of God, The Restored Church of God is committed to preserving and teaching all the truths that he taught!
