{{Quote|The mate of every prophecy is its fulfillment. God's Word finds its mate in fulfilled Bible prophecy, and the ones which have already occurred and been fulfilled, foretold hundreds of years in advance, have been fulfilled. Every prophecy the Bible has uttered has been fulfilled except the ones that are yet to come, and they'll be fulfilled just as surely as the ones that have been fulfilled in the past.|David Berg}}
'''David Brandt Berg''' (February 18<sup>th</sup>, 1919 – October 1<sup>st</sup>, 1994) was the founder and leader of [[The Children of God]] (1969). Children of God was intended as an alternative to mainstream Christianity which attracted drogues of hippies and unchurched youth. Berg's religious views grew more extreme over time. Eventually causing his group to gain more of a cult identity.

Berg gained notoriety when he published “Law of Love” in which the cult now sanctioned “flirty flashing” (women were instructed to be “Hookers for Christ” by luring men into the cult via unprotected sex. If they got pregnant, it was all part of god's plan and the children were called “Jesus Babies”). Berg gained even more notoriety by claiming that it was okay for anyone to have sexual relations with people outside the group, regardless of their age. This turned the cult into a hotspot for child rapists/abusers that formed the base of their membership.

Many of Berg's immediate family came out testify the abuse and molestation that Berg directed upon them. The family members included Berg's granddaughters, Merry and Joyanne Berg, and his adopted son, Ricky Rodriguez.

Berg died in Portugal and was buried in Costa de Caparica. His remains have been cremated. 

Actor Joaquin Phoenix and actress Rose McGowan were just a few of the victims who actually escaped his cult in the end.
