God's Message that He is against the false pre-trib rapture doctrine of men is found in Ezekiel 13.
I know, that's the Old Testament, isn't it? That's just it, one of the ways the deceivers work against Christ's Church today is by lying about the Old Testament as if it is all past history when it is not. Not only that, but often there is more detail given in the Old Testament prophets about the end than what The New Testament Books give. And justly so, because why should all that detail first given in the prophets be repeated all over again in The New Testament, just because some brethren are too lazy to study their Old Testament Books? Instead what The New Testament does is give short quotes from the OT prophets, but often not the full detail that's written in the Books of God's prophets. (For example: the return of God's River of the waters of life back to this earth, and the point where it flows from, and its location on earth, isn't shown in Revelation 22, but it is shown in Ezekiel 47).
So excuses for not recognizing this matter in Ezekiel 13 in The Old Testament just won't hold water, so don't try and make that dog hunt.
Ezek 13
13 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, 'Hear ye the word of the LORD;'
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; 'Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.'
For those who don't realize who that "house of Israel" represents today that God is speaking this about, then you need to study your Old Testament more, and with that start at 1 Kings 11 through 2 Kings 17. The "house of Israel" is about the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. After God split old Israel into two separate kingdoms, that "house of Israel" label applies ONLY to the ten northern tribes, and not the Jews of the southern kingdom called the "house of Judah".
And with the following, it really doesn't matter if you believe it or not, because I suspect those who haven't done their Old Testament prophecy homework are ignorant of it anyway. God scattered the ten northern tribes of Israel out of the holy land first, never to return to this day. Only a small remnant of the ten tribes rejected Jeroboam's calf idols he setup in the north and went south and joined with the Jews of the southern kingdom of Judah at Jerusalem-Judea. The majority of the ten tribes remained under Jeroboam of the tribe of Ephraim which God had made king over ISRAEL in the northern land (See 1 Kings 11 & 12). And those ten tribes made up the majority of all Israelites.
The ten tribes were removed by the kings of Assyria and taken captive to the lands of Assyria and the Medes (See 2 Kings 17). Ancient historians wrote about them there, as did the Assyrians in their cuneiform clay tablet histories. The ten tribes lost their heritage as part of old Israel, and took on Gentile customs, living among Gentiles, which was one of the curses God promised them if they rebelled (See Deut.4 and Deut.28). The ten tribes would then migrate westward into Asia Minor and Europe, to form the western Christian nations. And that was prophecy about God's promise to Jacob that his seed would become "a company of nations" (Gen.35), and that Joseph's son Ephraim would become "a multitude of nations" (Gen.48). And thus The Gospel would go to them among the Gentiles, and they both together would become Christ's Church. But only a remnant of God's people are given to understand about that history, but the prophecies that God would do that are written of in His prophets, especially in the Book of Hosea, which Apostle Paul quoted from to Roman Gentile believers on Jesus Christ (See Romans 9).
Understanding that above history is important that reveals just who this "house of Israel" is here in Ezekiel 13 that God is speaking to, and how it includes leaders in today's Christian Church.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, "The LORD saith:" and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
The lying leaders among the Christian Church, believers from the lost ten tribes along with Gentile believers, say God says this, or that, but our Heavenly Father says He did NOT send them.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, "The LORD saith it"; albeit I have not spoken?
Again, those lying leaders in Christ's Church claim God says this or that, when He did NOT say it. And those liars well know the majority of their congregation is not going to go look it up to see if what they claim is actually written or not. All the "hireling" in Christ's Church that treats preaching as a business has to do is dress nice, speak nice, get a bunch of seminary titles added onto their name tag, push peace-love-dove messages, and constantly beg for money (See John 10 and Matthew 23 about those who sit in Moses' seat).
Now of course I'm not talking about the good preachers and pastors of The Gospel that care for their congregations, and who stay in God's Word as written. God's Message here is against those that lie and claim He said, and God did not say. Those are about the "hireling" because they are not 'sent' by God, and thus don't really understand a lot of God's written Word, for it is closed off to them. But they act... like they know all about it, and do lie against the written Word of God to serve their own filthy lucre purpose. That also is why so many different seminary doctrines of men get started, because The Word is shut off to a lot of them, except for the basic principles of Christ regarding preaching of The Gospel. But past that, they are lost in much of God's Word and cannot even agree much with each other.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
I'm not making this up. God is angry about the lies those leaders in Christ's Church push whom He did not send.
