>The French author, Alexis de Tocqueville, wrote "Democracy in America"
>when he traveled here in the first third of the 19th Century. In
>ringing tones he sang the praises of America's invulnerable strength
>and spirit. He attributed its greatness to its citizens' sense of
>morality... even with the abundant church attendances he observed in
>America. De Tocqueville wrote in French and is credited with this
>familiar quote: "AMERICA IS GREAT BECAUSE SHE IS GOOD, and if America
>ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."
>
>De Tocqueville could see the power of America, but he could not have
>known in 1830 that she was soon to be under an attack aimed at its
>churches and the very sense of morality that he extolled.
>
>First, there was a War Between the States, which scarred the powerful
>young nation in its strapping youth. A worse attack on America was to
>commence near the turn of the 20th century. This was the onset of an
>attack on American Christianity that continues unabated against the
>traditional, Christ-following church. This attack, which author
>Gordon Ginn calls "The final Apostasy", began with a small very
>wealthy and determined European political movement. It had a dream,
>and the American churches stood in its way.
>
>The World Zionist movement, as its Jewish founders called themselves,
>had plans to acquire a homeland for all Jews worldwide, even though
>most were far from homeless, and many did not want another home. Not
>any land would do. World Zionists wanted a specific property that
>American Christians called "the Holy Land." But if these Zionists
>read "Democracy in America" or any of the journals of any of America's
>churches, which no doubt they did, they could not help but know that
>Jerusalem was not theirs to have. As self proclaimed Jews, they were,
>according to the Christian New Testament, the persecutors of Christ
>and most of his early followers, and the engineers of his crucifixion.
>America's traditional churches in the 19th Century would never stand
>for a Jewish occupation of Jesus' homeland.
>
>World Zionist leaders initiated a program to change America and its
>religious orientation. One of the tools used to accomplish this goal
>was an obscure and malleable Civil War veteran named Cyrus I.
>Schofield. A much larger tool was a venerable, world respected
>European book publisher The Oxford University Press.
>
>The scheme was to alter the Christian view of Zionism by creating and
>promoting a pro-Zionist subculture within Christianity. Scofield's
>role was to re-write the King James Version of the Bible by inserting
>Zionist-friendly notes in the margins, between verses and chapters,
>and on the bottoms of the pages. The Oxford University Press used
>Scofield, a pastor by then, as the Editor, probably because it needed
>such as man for a front. The revised bible was called the Scofield
>Reference Bible, and with limitless advertising and promotion, it
>became a best-selling "bible" in America and has remained so for 90
>years.
>
>The Scofield Reference Bible was not to be just another translation,
>subverting minor passages a little at a time. No, Scofield produced a
>revolutionary book that radically changed the context of the King
>James Version. It was designed to create a subculture around a new
>worship icon, the modern State of Israel, a state that did not yet
>exist, but which was already on the drawing boards of the committed,
>well-funded authors of World Zionism.
>
>Scofield's support came from a movement that took root around the turn
>of the century, supposedly motivated by disillusionment over what it
>considered the stagnation of the mainline American churches. Some of
>these "reformers" were later to serve on Scofield's Editorial
>Committee.
>
>Scofield imitated a chain of past heretics and rapturists, most of
>whose credibility fizzled over their faulty end times prophesies. His
>mentor was one John Nelson Darby from Scotland, who was associated
>with the Plymouth Brethren and who made no less than six evangelical
>trips to the US selling what is today called "Darbyism". It is from
>Darby that Scofield is thought to have learned his Christian Zionist
>theology, which he later planted in the footnotes of the Scofield
>Reference Bible. It is possible that Scofield's interest in Darbyism
>was shared by Oxford University Press, for Darby was known to Oxford
>University.
>
>The Oxford University Press owned "The Scofield Reference Bible" from
>the beginning, as indicated by its copyright, and Scofield stated he
>received handsome royalties from Oxford. Oxford's advertisers and
>promoters succeeded in making Scofield's bible, with its Christian
>Zionist footnotes, a standard for interpreting scripture in
>Judeo-Christian churches, seminaries, and Bible study groups. It has
>been published in at least four editions since its introduction in
>1908 and remains one of the largest selling Bibles ever.
>
>The Scofield Reference Bible and its several clones is all but
>worshiped in the ranks of celebrity Christians, beginning with the
>first media icon, evangelist Billy Graham. Of particular importance
>to the Zionist penetration of American Christian churches has been the
>fast growth of national bible study organizations, such as Bible Study
>Fellowship and Precept Ministries. These draw millions of students
>from not only evangelical fundamentalist churches, but also from
>Catholic and mainline Protestant churches and non-church contacts.
>These invariably teach forms of "dispensationalism," which draw their
>theory, to various degrees, from the notes in the Oxford Bible.
>
>Among more traditional churches that encourage, and in some cases
>recommend, the use of the Scofield Reference Bible is the huge
>Southern Baptist Convention of America, whose capture is World
>Zionism's crowning achievement.
>
>Scofield, whose work is largely believed to be the product of Darby
>and others, wisely chose not to change the text of the King James
>Edition. Instead, he added hundreds of easy to read footnotes at the

> Scofield's borrowed ideas were later popularized under

>Instead, we will examine the words on their face. The words in these

>And what is it that Scofield said that did not satisfy the Zionists
>who rewrote the Oxford 1967 Edition?
>
>The answer is an easy one. Most Arab and Islamic scholars consider
>Arabs in general and the Prophet Mohamed in particular to be direct
>descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's first son and older half-brother of
>Isaac, whose son Jacob was later to become known as "Israel." Many
>Arabs believe that through Ishmael they are co-heirs of to Abraham's
>promise, and they correctly believe that present day Israelis have no
>Biblical right to steal their land. Jewish Talmudic folklore also
>speaks of Ishmael, so the Zionists apparently felt they had to alter
>how Christians viewed the two half brothers in order to prevent
>Christians from siding with the Arabs over the land theft.
>
>The Zionists solved this dilemma by inserting a senseless footnote in
>the 1967 (Oxford) Scofield Reference Bible which, in effect,
>substitutes the word "Jews" for the words "The Israelitish people and
>Ishmaelitish people," as Scofield originally wrote it. The
>Israelitish and Ishmaelitish people lived 3000 years ago, but the
>Zionists want to claim the Arabs' part of the presumed birthright
>right now! Read it again; "all Jews are natural descendants of
>Abraham, but are not necessarily his spiritual posterity."
>
>And there is more of such boondogglery in the Oxford bible. On the
>same page 1137 we find yet another brand new Zionist-friendly note
>referring to the New Testament book of John 8:37.
>
>"(2) 8:44 THAT THIS SATANIC FATHERHOOD CANNOT BE LIMITED TO THE
>PHARISEES IS MADE CLEAR IN 1Jn3:8" (note SRB 1967 Edition, P1137 to

>
>"YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND THE LUST OF YOUR FATHER YE WILL

>BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE SPEAKEST A LIE, HE SPEAKEST
>OF HIS OWN; FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER OF IT." John 8:44 King

>Those are plain words. No wonder the Zionists wanted to dilute what
>Jesus said. Not only did Oxford add a new footnote in 1967, but they

>seems the Zionists cannot deny what Jesus said about Pharisees, but

>
>"HE THAT COMMITETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; FOR THE DEVIL SINNETH FROM THE
>BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE
>MIGHT DESTROY THE WORK OF THE DEVIL." (1Jn3:8.King James Edition)

>Fine, but this verse, spoken by Jesus to His followers in a speech

>was not talking directly to and about the Pharisee leaders when he
>called them "Sons of Satan" in John 8:44. It is a different book
>written at a different time to a different audience. This is typical
>Christian Zionist diversion.
>
>To find out to whom Jesus is speaking you must read the rest of John
>8, not something from another book. Furthermore, John 8:44 is only
>one of some 77 verses where Jesus confronted the Pharisees by name and
>in many cases addressed them as "satanic" and as "vipers." Oxford
>simply ignores most of these denunciations by Jesus, adding no notes
>at all, and the Christian Zionists go along without question.
