Carlson — Schofield, Oxford, and U.S. influence (longer historical summary)

When it published a false and intentionally misleading Bible called the Schofield reference Bible, if mission was to inject into the Christian text reinterpretations that made the future state of Israel the way to God this book was so important that Oxford University press opened his first branch in the United States to publish it, they had never published an American book before they had not published Whittakers books with poetry. They had not published Longfall. They are not published any of our great American authors, but they publish this the Oxford University publish to Schofield book they promoted into American seminary and Bible schools for the beliefs of future generations of pastors could be moulded to cloud the peacemaking traditions of Christianity and benefit the state of Israel most pastors and teachers were unaware of any danger since there was no state of Israel at the tire most of them did not even know that state was being planned few guests that the Schofield book would be used by specular powers to be Christian and political and financial servitude to the chewy state present day. Israel American Christianity became ionized after 1948 when the state of Israel appeared as a result of the United Nations Oxford university press was strongly influenced, and it provided a huge financial and promotional boost when it opened the publishing branch in New York City this for the purpose of publishing the Christian Zion manual in 1908 called the Schofield reference Bible this book was to be a foundational document upon which Christian Zionism by host of other names, including evangelicalism would begin. It's methodical growth by deception the founders of world Zionism, especially Heim Weitzman successor to Theodore Hertel had much to do with joining the United States into World War I mare handful of dominated American sinus were able to influence President Wilson, possibly by blackmail to join the war in Europe over his advisor objections America lost over 100,000 men who were entirely innocent of any involvement in European politics and out of all this the world is movement gained a piece of land called Palestine. The land of the Philistine was England pay off the world Zionism for causing America to enter World War I on the side of Great Britain, which was losing the war to Germany by 1917 the world movement was in high gear toward occupying Arab Palestine after the Balfour declaration gave them a claim without title to any land occupied by the Palestinians the Schofield reference Bible was copyrighted in 1909. It is an old and New Testament with most of the notes in the original text added in the Old Testament later many notes were added to the New Testament as the Schofield reference Bible was re-added in several times, but the most radical change being made in 1967. The book has been updated over over again each time by Oxford University press always having Mr. Schofield's name on the front of it. In fact he's listed as the editor in the most recent addition even though he's been dead for about 40 years, the cover shows the editor size Schofield with seven other man on the editorial board. One of these was Reverend James M Gray president of the Moody Bible Institute, one of the most influential organizations and evangelical circles of the day there were also two other seminary leaders on the editorial board those landing their names were predominantly heads of seminaries and Christian colleges what happened as the distribution took place through the seminary, and then one young pastors were graduated from the schools and they went back out and took a church and started to teach from the pulpit. They had one of these in their hands. This is what was given to them, and I suppose that they were probably given to the seminaries. It was likely that the Oxford press made it was very generous and making sure that all these people had these what exactly is the Schofield reference Bible let us look critically at just one page of the book that has become the guide for secular Jews, and Israel, and evangelical Christians in America to explain why they think President Israel has the right to all of the land in the Middle East beginning with Palestine Genesis 12 three is part of the tour and this spot in the Koran. These three verses are standard in the king, James translation, and very similar in other Bibles let me paraphrase it as you read the old English. I would show him God promised to them make a Abraham a great nation bless him and make his name great protect him by blessing his friends and cursing his enemies and from Abraham see all the nations of the Earth would be blessed now for the part that is important to traditional Christians, I quote in the show all the families of the earth. Be blessed Christianity has for 2000 years taken this to be the first notice from God of the coming saviour of mankind Genesis 12 three is the earliest covenant that God made to Abram and it is the one used by Israelis and Christians to justify the idea that the entire Middle East should be Israeli property. I quote yet the out of the country and from the kindred and from the fathers house into a land that I will show the sinus of all racist interpret the phrase into a land that I will show the as a perpetual land grant to present day Israel now we will examine the most effective corruptor of scripture in history one Cyrus Schofield on 19th century American no on page 19 that the footnotes dwarf the text note also that the italicized insertions in between the verses that are not part of the Bible in the 1967 version of the Schofield reference Bible there are more footnotes than the original 1909 version and since the death of Schofield in 1921, the footnotes have grown into dwarf the text in these very important pages. Let's look again at the vital footnote too found in the Schofield reference Bible in 1967 on page 19 the foot note reads God made an unconditional promise of blessing through Abraham seed to the nation of Israel to inherit a specific territory forever, but the passage doesn't say anything like this God orders Abram to go to land that God will show him using the first person familiar V meaning Abraham and no one but Abraham the passage does not say that God is giving any piece of land to anybody forever. It doesn't say anything about Israel how complicated is is it leave? Leave your land go or I tell you to go and I will protect you help complicated is that how many footnotes does it take to understand what God was saying Abraham anybody who reads that should be able to figure that out but that's what the messages but Mr. Schofield wrote all of this to explain it in fact, if we accept biblical history, we know that Abraham had no children when this happened and not for quite a while, so there was no person or nation named Israel when this promise was made there was no state or nation named Israel the man Israel did not even exist in Abraham's imagination when God spoke to him how then could Schofield or the Oxford university press say that God was promising the land to the present Day state of Israel forever where did the state of Israel get this when Abraham was spoken to by God Israel the man known as Israel hadn't been born yet he was two generations in the future, and he was not a state. He was a person that eventually had to tribe and then after him 3000 years later along, comes a bunch of Europeans, who name their state after him, but this says that God gave that land to the nation of Israel forever 70 million people who are taught this every day. The Oxford university press did not stop there no three on page 19 reads. There was a promise of blessing upon the individuals and nations who blessed Abrams descendants, and a curse lay upon those who persecute the Jew the Jew is used in the footnotes and describing an occurrence 2 to 3000 years before the word you existed in fact Jew was taken from the name Judah, who was it is told one of the 12 grandsons of Abraham Abraham of Genesis 12 neither Judah nor you existed and this footnote is a false concoction no three continues. God's promised Aberman his seed certainly did not terminate it sign what the giving of the law the New Testament and Old Testament are full of promises concerning Israel and the land, which is to be Israel's everlasting possession. Listener should be asking why is Oxford university press putting words in the miles of the readers of this Bible to make them think their God promises blessings and curses on people today based on how they think about or act toward present day, Jews, and present day, Israel. In the footnotes to Genesis 12 three promise to the Gentiles, I will bless them that bless those who honour will be blessed and curse them that curse. The this was a warning, literally fulfilled in the history of Israel's persecution. It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew and well with those who protected him and here is the punchline for a nation to commit, the sin of antisemitism brings inevitable judgment, the future, but still more remarkably proved this principle isn't that convenient so now you have antisemitism is created in Abraham footnote to Abraham's words create and the word antisemitism Christian Zionism believes that our nation will be judged if we are not sufficiently kind as a nation to the state of Israel they have made sin a sort of a national corporate event rather than an individual thing of course there is no such thing as national sin nations don't stand. We do individuals do men do but this is created a national sense so that Christians honest like John Hagy believe that goggle rain fire down on our country will somehow punish our tarnation for being insufficiently kind to the state of Israel is friendly. Oxford University press in our Bible that the whole country will be considered in sin, and we will be in line for judgement from God if we are not properly friendly to the nation of Israel, and remember, there was no Jew in the time of Abraham. There was no Israel at the time that Schofield pen the original notes and it is doubtful that Cyrus Schofield would have even understood the enormity of the evil purpose, for which book was written it was to have the most prominent is published in the world, and it would DFI a country that did not exist and would be born a force 40 years after his death not all orthodox Christians were asleep during that time Philip Moreau was one who saw both the heretical and the war, making dangers of the new religion and actually it is a well-known patent attorney council for the Columbia photograph company, and the Christian researcher who wrote legal briefs for William Jenning, Brian's famous court cases in his 1927 book entitled gospel of the kingdom with an examination of modern dispensationalism. Furthermore wrote through an incident of recent occurrence I was made aware of the extent far greater than I imagined to which the modern system of dispensationalism has found acceptance among orthodox Christians, and also the extent correspondingly great to which the recently published Schofield Bible, which is the main vehicle of the new system of doctrine referred to as you serve the place of authority that belong to God's Bible alone. Philip tells us that he had been caught up himself in the evangelism or Christian Zion is Mother's Day and learned about it from the inside. This has been the case with most of us who come to an understanding of Christian Zionism, the late Philip Morrow has been a source of encouragement to many critics of Judaea Christianity. We thought they were about Philip was a dedicated scholar with an engineers logic and the lawyers tenacity that allowed him to foresee error in 1927 Christian scholars are only beginning to acknowledge 80 years later we like morrow should also be sympathetic for those who are caught up in the error of Christian design as some dispensation listen or Judeo Christianity by any name because they are among our families and best friends Jesus is required that we reclaim them back to traditional Christianity Dr. F Furman curly is another unsung Christian scholar who saw the path to war in the air of dispensationalism. He was the head of graduate studies of Abilene Christian university in 1983. He wrote a short book entitled the Middle East crisis in biblical perspective in which he takes sharp issue with those he calls Israel first millennial and Christian Zionism's evil fruits of perpetual war in the Middle East he named Hal Lindsay and the lake Jerry Fogwell, as radical as profits who would help nudge the US into endless war with Islamic states Dr. Curly explain why when the concept of Armageddon as in revelation 1616 is raised those who believe in the literal war at Armageddon often feel that Christians should work to start this war and should vigourously participate in it. Those in particular who view this present situation is Armageddon believe that Christians should support Israel with bigger. Curly saw Christian Zion a support for Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine as a precursor to more wars in the Middle East and concluded one needs to be absolutely certain that the doctor and he follows gods, and not of men before he advocates a doctor that would put the blood of other men on our hands he explains the neo Christian love affair with war as religious fixation, stating whereas Christians must pray for peace in the Middle East pre-millennia must pray and work for World War III so Armageddon will come they cannot pray for peace in the Middle East, if a follower of Christian design, as will only examine the simple teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, he will find there is not a single passage or phrase that would give a follower of Christ the cost to take the life of another man or another man's wife or a child in a far away country
