You’d think a man would eventually learn. After setting the date for Jesus’s return at least five times that I know of, David Pack has set yet another date just days after his latest failure. Jesus was supposed to come back a little over a week ago, on 26 September. This last Saturday, Pack explained he’d learned a lot of new things in the previous week. God had blinded him before; now he can see.

If you listen to him talk about the prophetic world he’s created for himself and his followers, it’s easy to see how far from reality the man has strayed.

The 1,335 days, the ten-day period, the fifteen-day kingdom — all his followers know exactly what he’s talking about (well, perhaps not exactly as those who have recently left point out that Pack has been changing these doctrines on a whim over the last few years) but no one else knows. It might as well be gibberish. It might as well sound like this:

But like all good cult leaders, he’s not afraid ultimately to tell his followers where their place is:

“Shut up and learn.” That’s their job.
