Thank you for taking a look †
The word from the Lord. Against who? The false teachers. Ezekiel 13 teaches 3 end-times false doctrines by the false teachers who make up their own tradition and do not teach God's Word verse by verse.Therefore, they make it up to what they want it to be. The 3 false doctrines/teachings here?
1) Verse 5, where the tribes of Israel located, dealing with the whole house of Israel here. They, of course are scattered to the 4 corners of the Earth until Christ comes back on the day of the Lord. Do they teach that?
2) World peace in the middle of the chapter.
3) the rapture/pre trib rapture lie beginning in verse 17. Covering the Lord's saving arm by soft soothsaying messages, what people want to hear. No path of resistance, entitlement.
The point all throughout the chapter hey are hunters and hunting for prey. We will see exactly how it's done. Their method of operation.
We'll see verse 5 here below. Let's take a look at the other 2 real quick and continue with this study post.
2Son 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;
(Pay attention false teachers. Void of God's Word, teach in their own name of course with a scripture here, a scripture there. No one can understand, God's word does not flow correctly, no connections can be made. We'll see more on that in verse 6).
3Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
(Fools. What they want to believe. No change of our heart. Instead of being filled with righteousness, filled with lies funneling to their collection plates. They have plate out, but they are not serving any food, bread and meat of the Word).
4O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
I'd call this operation desert fox alright:
A desert (wilderness) fox. What little food is in the desert they come and sneak it out of greed when everyone back is turned, not paying attention. Foxes are not only hunters, but a scavenger as well. Both! Amazing enough like the rapture lie, they eat what is "left behind" as well. Opportunists in every way.
How bad is this? Christ would say of King Herod,
(Luke 13:32) "And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected."
To Ezekiel 13:5,
5Ye 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.
Fill the gaps? One verse here, one verse there, they make it up! What do we need to stand? The Gospel Armor. Do they teach that? There is only one day of the Lord. So we know this is talking to this generation. The generation Christ comes back. That is how you know, and exactly who the LORD is speaking to.
They rob you of the Old Testament. Where all the prophets taught and looked forward to Christ' first and second coming. They will say this is for those people back then! There is only one day of the Lord. They don't even teach the Gospel Armor to be able to stand. They don't teach the book of Revelation. They don't teach anything to do with prophecy. What is they teach at all again?
(To stand when? When Christ comes back on the day of the Lord. They don't know what is to come because these foxes don't teach it. And how will Christ come)?
(II Peter 3:10) "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
Like a thief in the night to those not expecting Christ. Because to them satan is Christ/God.
(I Thessalonians 5:2-3) "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
Let's look at the Ezekiel verse for world peace beginning in Jerusalem where satan sets up claiming to be Christ/God:
(Ezekiel 13:16) "To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD."
Let's look at the rapture pre trib rapture verse lie and we'll address it good when we get there:
(Ezekiel 13:20) "Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly."
Summing it up, they are sooth sayers. There is that hunting again, like foxes. When we get here we will see what they do is cover the Lord's saving outstretched arm with their soft message (with the verses before and after this verse), teaching to be "raptured" out of here. When it's all said done and there is no rapture/pre trib rapture they will say didn't we try to fly outta here on our own accord? That day is coming.
6They 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.
(Some of them even say, "I have a word from the Lord for you." Lying know-nothings, destroying people's hope and losing what hope they came in with. People turn away from God because these false preacher/teachers. Though, it still is that persons responsibility. Your salvation is not found in any man. Teachers should be aiding, putting it together, making sense of it--clarity, not more confusion).
7Have 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."
(And so it is. Coming in God's name knowing nothing).
Let's go back take a look at verse 21 then we'll leave it there,
(Ezekiel 13:21 "Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Kerchiefs = long covering around the head as in a veil. But here a little more: Banded together coverings. Covering the Lord's outstretched arm to save, and they are in on it together. The "fix" is in. What else? They are on the prowl. Ravenous wolves, full of greed. Also, likened to the desert fox, turn your back and they have stolen the meat!
(The band together with a long-covering veil, and the temple veil that was torn when Christ died on the cross. Symbolic for coming each individual coming in to have a relationship with the Lord. Their own words, thus traditions they've made up have caused to be in a relationship with them. Bondage to them. They own people's minds with that covering).
AMEN †
