If a prophet gives a false prophecy, you must not fear him

Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


And what is the fate of that false prophet?

Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

Then how come we don't see false prophets dropping dead?

Many false prophets are already spiritually dead but they continue to prophesy visions of their own heart or to prophesy under the influence of familiar spirits.

Also God has anointed fearless men of God with the spirit of Elijah. Fearless anointed ones of God who are not afraid to take up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and slay false prophets.

If your pastor/prophet tells you something like God said "That one is your wife" and the woman marries someone else or dies in a car accident before you could marry her, how is it possible that God could have said it? Did God not know she will die?

Don't make excuses for false prophets. If the thing does not come to pass, that is the thing that the Lord has not spoken. Don't let them make excuses like "God said , but then you fell into sin". That's making a mockery of God. If God has spoken something, it must come to pass whether the devil likes it or not. Not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of the living God.

If it does not come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken.

So who is the false prophet

my question is this; did he return yet while christians are still hoping for a rapturing return of the same Jesus or is there a single disciple among the 12 alive somewhere?

all the followers of the disciples and many many generations have waited for this return and died waiting [waiting in vain].

can there be a greater evidence that there is a false prophet somewhere there above, or the one who ascribed the statement to Jesus had said a thing that is untrue?

You can discuss that with your fellow muslim brethren. This discussion is for Christians

It's not aimed at anyone in particular, just a general education. You are a Christian. I'm sure you have met at least one person who gave a prophecy that never came to pass.
