>>Ezekiel 13:16-23 describes in full detail what God thinks of the rapture doctrine.<<

Oh my!!! I've got news for you. Your not Israel and neither is the ekklesia "church" of Christ. If you think the "church" has superseded Israel you have more problems than worrying about some silly old rapture.

The Creator is the same yesterday, today, and will be forever. In Christ there is NOT a distinction of Israel/Judah and Gentiles. All have same opportunity for salvation. The only difference I have found is that the punishment dwelt out to the House of Israel was they would cease to know who they were. Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.....

So when did this 'wedding' take place? Peter tells us that while in the tomb Christ went to all back to the days of Noah and offered them salvation. IPeter 3:18 and IPeter 4:6. We are not told how many souls have already chose Christ during this ministry.

The 'church' does not replace Israel, and as of yet Christ has not returned and joined the two sticks of the House of Israel and the House of Judah. God is quite capable of doing more than one thing at a time, even multiple of things at the same time. It is HIS plan and He send us the volume of the Book as His road map. And it is a tradition of men/women that devised up a rapture notion, I suppose because these souls do not consider God able to protect them through the great deception.

This idea is your gross error.

Only “The House of Israel” will be saved.

That name includes “those that sojourn with her.”

This fact is plainly stated in Matthew 15:24, but it is also stated in numerous places in the ancient scriptures. “The People for My Name” are Israel.

Those that think that a “church” will replace Israel are the most mistaken of all. There is no ‘church,’ only his ancient assembly, to which are added all that follow Yeshua in every way (walking as he walked, in the Father’s commandments, 1John1)
