The World to Come – Nationwide U.S. Sunday Morning Debut

By David C. Pack

March 10, 2013, marks the national Sunday morning (6:30 a.m. ET) ION Television debut of The World to Come™ in the U.S.—reaching more than 88.6 million households in the 88 major metropolitan areas with ION stations. (It will air Wednesday mornings at 6:00 a.m., also nationwide, for three weeks to help viewers transition to our new Sunday slot.) The following Sunday, March 17, sees the program debut across the U.S. on The CW Plus network also at 6:30 a.m. ET. The list now includes 203 total cities. In addition to these two quantum leaps is the launch of two new independent stations: Wednesday, March 13, 6:00 a.m. on WLYH in Harrisburg, PA and Sunday, March 17, 6:00 a.m. on WRBU in St. Louis, MO. Two other previously announced independent stations launched this last week in Charlotte, NC and Cincinnati, OH. This surge forward places The World to Come—the premier biblically-based television program—among the prime religious programming timeslots. (On Friday, March 22, we will announce the new cities and nations to be added in April. On Friday, March 15, I will post a crucial new article for all those who have God’s Spirit. Do not miss either announcement.) Below are the 88 cities with ION local stations. ION Television is also available on satellite nationwide in the U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) on DISH and DIRECTV, as well as in select areas via cable affiliates. See local listings for times and channels.

Stunning New Book

By David C. Pack

A completed new book, Mounting Worldwide Crisis in Agriculture, by Dale L. Schurter, trumpets a truly dire warning of the severe damage that man has inflicted on Earth’s soil—the ultimate source of all food. This absolutely fascinating and thoroughly researched and documented volume introduces and carefully explains the devastating cumulative worldwide effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. It exposes the truth behind Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), monoculture farming and other manmade techniques used, as well as revealing the sobering implications now confronting all nations. But the book also brings to light the wonderful good news of how our planet’s ecosystem can and will be renewed by God—not men. Mr. Schurter, the world’s foremost authority on biblical agriculture, has traveled to dozens of nations teaching sustainable husbandry based on God’s laws. As an ordained minister of The Restored Church of God, he directs the Agriculture Education and Research Institute (AEARI), a program of the Church’s educational arm, Ambassador Center. He also served as Director of Agricultural Education, Research and Production at Ambassador College in Big Sandy, Texas, a liberal arts college founded by Worldwide Church of God Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong.

Preeminent Golf Course Developer to Shape the Grounds for The Restored Church of God Campus

By David C. Pack

God has opened yet another door to His Church—another blessing, and one coming with a major discount. We are delighted to announce that the campus for The Restored Church of God Headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio, will be shaped and sculpted by world-renowned golf course developer John C. Copeland. Mr. Copeland has been involved in more than 50 golf course projects in 12 countries, and the extraordinary skill of this man and his team will ensure a beautiful setting for the rapidly expanding Work of God. Some background. In 1983, Mr. Copeland was invited to join the “Golden Bear” staff of golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. For 15 years he constructed “Jack Nicklaus courses” all over the world, including annual upgrades to PGA National Resort & Spa’s “Champion Course” in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, current home of the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic. Our landscaping manager, who himself led the development of several very large golf resorts around the world, worked with Mr. Copeland on this project. Among his many projects as then Vice President of Field Operations for Paragon Golf Construction, Inc. (a Jack Nicklaus company), Mr. Copeland was instrumental in the planning and development of Gleneagles golf club/resort in Scotland, the location of the 2014 Ryder Cup. As president and CEO of his own company, Superior Golf Concepts, Inc., he is now involved with projects throughout the United States, but also the world. Most recently, because of his expertise in building environmentally responsible golf courses, well-known developer Donald Trump has currently engaged him in an extensive renovation of the Ritz Carlton Golf Club located in Jupiter, Florida. Mr. Copeland’s shaping skill and meticulous attention to detail will provide a gorgeous environment for the Headquarters Hall of Administration and other buildings soon to come. Planned to reflect the magnificent Pasadena Ambassador campus, the exquisitely shaped grounds will offer an inspiring location for Church activities, including weekly services, ministerial conferences and a convention site for the annual Feast of Tabernacles. The elegance of the grounds and dignity of the Hall of Administration, in the center of numerous buildings, will also provide a fitting environment to receive visiting dignitaries. Simply beautiful, the campus will be a location without equal in Ohio.

New Media Center

By David C. Pack

Be sure to read all of this week’s announcement. Something important appears at the end. The World to Come™ broadcast will soon be among the most watched religious programs in the world. Eventually it will be number one! To keep pace with its continuing rapid expansion, we are pleased to introduce the construction of a third building to be added to our Headquarters Campus—a Media Center. (It joins the almost completed Hall of Administration and the recently announced Mail Processing Center.) With The World to Come now reaching millions across the world, this tremendous media growth is causing us to outgrow our current television studio. More space, equipment and manpower is required. (For those who missed past announcements detailing our dramatic television expansion, be sure to read them.) This over 4,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility will house three studios of different size, as well as our growing Media Production Services Department (MPS). These vitally important studios will contain various beautiful set designs, coupled with the very latest technology. More workspace will also be available for our media team to assemble the professional graphics, news footage, powerful statistics, music and other elements that make up The World to Come program. Besides regular broadcasts, MPS also produces extensive annual “Behind the Work” films, along with the Church’s many other video and audio productions.

New Mail Processing Center—Several More World to Come Television Timeslots

By David C. Pack

(1) We are thrilled to announce a second building on our new Headquarters campus—a 12,000-square-foot Mail Processing Center (MPC). Site work begins next week, with construction quickly to follow. Our tremendous media growth (more is listed below) is causing literature distribution to explode. This requires much more space, equipment and manpower. The new MPC will house the Church’s mailing and in-house print operations, as well as the Landscaping and Construction Departments. This second building is also being built WITHOUT the need for BANK FINANCING! (Incidentally, it is our hope that we can soon announce a third building.) The newest building is shown from two angles so viewers can also enjoy a sampling of the beautiful gardens that will dress the whole campus. (Reflecting the Pasadena campus, more gardens will appear, including even in some areas shown here.)

(2) Be sure to view the short time-lapse video of the Hall of Administration construction, spanning from May 17 through March 22.

Massive Television Expansion of The World to Come Continues, Plus Other Advancements

By David C. Pack

For the last five Fridays in a row, I or The Restored Church of God have made dramatic announcements. These weekly postings will continue indefinitely every Friday! You will want to return each week to see what is being announced. Bear in mind that all of the following additional television expansion, listed momentarily, is being added while we are still building our Headquarters campus without use of bank financing. (We expect to announce next Friday the start of a second building, again without bank financing. We will unveil the building next Friday. A timelapse video of our Hall of Administration will also be posted at that time. And we are on schedule to occupy the “Hall” seven weeks from today.) First, note that almost 5,000 people (over 700 per day) already have read last Friday’s posted article, “God’s People Back Together—SOON!” The letters we are receiving from all the major splinters have been MOST GRATIFYING. Many are waking up to what they let themselves come to believe without careful analysis. To understand the weekly announcements that will continue, you must read this article! Second, The Restored Church of God has now launched (today) its new Chinese-language website. This adds an eighth language to the Church’s range of translations! For the first time, God’s Church is publishing the true gospel for over 700 million Mandarin Chinese-readers on the Internet worldwide. Four booklets are now available, and additional literature will be added regularly. Revelation 10:11 states that when God’s Church “prophesies again” it is to be “before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” This is being done with ever greater power.

Dramatic World to Come Television Expansion Continues

By David C. Pack

As God continues to enormously bless His Church, The World to Come™ is expanding its television reach by 118 stations in February, March and April, in both the United States and other parts of the world. Some background. Many may be aware that The Living Church of God (LCG) is suddenly losing most if not soon all of its national Canadian TV coverage. However, LCG has also abruptly canceled its powerful Sunday nationwide ION slot in the wake of public announcements about financial difficulties. (1) Therefore, on March 10, The World to Come now moves from its Wednesday morning slot to LCG’s Sunday 6:30 a.m. (ET/PT) slot. This makes our program available to all 88.6 million households covered by the ION Television network and satellites nationwide!

Awesome Knowledge—and a Great Parallel!

By David C. Pack

If you read last week’s announcement you know we hold no doubt that God’s prophecy in Haggai and Zechariah is still very much “on.” This announcement explains additional expansive elements of the Haggai/Zechariah prophecy that none of us had yet understood. In fact, what you will read this week and next time may help you understand why more time was needed for us to prepare for God’s fulfillment of the prophecy. This included understanding more of what was going to happen. As mentioned in previous announcements, this one will open your eyes to things God has long intended to do with His end-time Church and Work. God’s Word is crystal clear! The first element involves an Old Testament account in I Kings 19. More than a year ago I learned that God had “reserved” (the word He chose) an end-time “remnant” (again, His word) of His people who were as hidden to those in His Church as the faithful 7,000 in Israel were to Elijah in I Kings 19:18. It was in Romans 11:3-5 that the apostle Paul referenced this New Testament “remnant according to grace”—meaning they were of spiritual Israel, the Church. It was just as obvious through simple study that the remnant of two chapters earlier in Romans 9:27-29 could only be describing those of physical Israel—the surviving descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel that were coming out of captivity. I covered details about the remnant of God’s Church in a series of seven sermons late last summer.

Seven Worsening Trends Coming Upon the Splinters!

By David C. Pack

Many thousands have read previous Friday announcements about what is foretold to happen to the organizations that formed after the Worldwide Church of God apostasy. Many of these have asked what the downward spiral of these big groups will look like through the run-up period to God bringing all of His people back together into one organization. This and next week’s announcements will cover two crucial aspects of what to watch for. The following Friday (April 26) or the one after (May 3) will likely be the natural time to begin introducing the biblical framework of the prophecy, including specific verses. At this point, I have merely alluded to the prophecy’s last chapter—the reuniting of all God’s people! What is coming in the prophecy’s present chapters is not complicated to understand. God makes clear that what happens will fall into seven categories! Brief summary statements are all that is necessary to understand HOW—in what WAYS—the splinter organizations will eventually suddenly collapse after final, prophesied culminating events. Nothing will stop this—NOTHING!—and its arrival is as sure as sunset. The following trends are already happening to some degree—but they will worsen dramatically for a very short period. For over five months, I announced to brethren in The Restored Church of God that these things would happen, and why. These items are what God lists in His Word:
