The most convincing evidence of the unseen Zionist hand that wrote the Scofield notes to the venerable King James Bible is the content of the notes themselves, for only Zionists could have written them. These notes are the subject of this paper. Oxford edited the former 1945 Edition of SRB in 1967, at the time of the Six Day War when Israel occupied Palestine. The new footnotes to the King James Bible presumptuously granted the rights to the Palestinians land to the State of Israel and specifically denied the Arab Palestinians any such rights at all. One of the most brazen and outrageous of these NEWLY INSERTED footnotes states: FOR A NATION TO COMMIT THE SIN OF ANTI-SEMITISM BRINGS INEVITABLE JUDGMENT. (page 19-20, footnote (3) to Genesis 12:3.) (our emphasis added) This statement sounds like something from Ariel Sharon, or the Chief Rabbi in Tel Aviv, or Theodore Herzl, the founder of Modern Zionism. But these exact words are found between the covers of the 1967 Edition of the Oxford Bible that is followed by millions of American churchgoers and students and is used by their leaders as a source for their preaching and teaching. There is no word for anti-Semitism in the New Testament, nor is it found among the Ten Commandments. Sin, this writer was taught, is a personal concept. It is something done by individuals in conflict with Gods words, not by nations. Even Sodom did not sin--its people did. The word judgment in the Bible always refers to Gods action. In the Christian New Testament, Jesus promises both judgment and salvation for believing individuals, not for nations. There was also no State of Israel when Scofield wrote his original notes in his concocted Scofield Reference Bible in 1908. All references to Israel as a state were added AFTER 1947, when Israel was granted statehood by edict of the United Nations. The Oxford University Press simply rewrote its version of the Christian Bible in 1967 to make antipathy toward the State of Israel a sin. Israel is made a god to be worshiped, not merely a state. David Ben-Gurion could not have written it better. Perhaps he did write it! The Oxford 1967 Edition continues on page 19: (2) GOD MADE AN UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE OF BLESSINGS THROUGH ABRAMS SEED (a) TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL TO INHERIT A SPECIFIC TERRITORY FOREVER (3) THERE IS A PROMISE OF BLESSING UPON THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND NATIONS WHO BLESS ABRAMS DESCENDANTS, AND A CURSE LAID UPON THOSE WHO PERSECUTE THE JEWS. (Page 19, 1967 Edition Genesis 12:1-3) This bequeath is joined to an Oxford prophesy that never occurs in the Bible itself: IT HAS INVARIABLY FARED ILL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PERSECUTED THE JEW, WELL WITH THOSE WHO HAVE PROTECTED HIM. and THE FUTURE WILL STILL MORE REMARKABLY PROVE THIS PRINCIPLE(footnote (3) bottom of page19-20Genesis 12:3) None of these notes appeared in the original Scofield Reference Bible or in the 1917 or 1945 editions. The state of Israel DID NOT EXIST in 1945, and according to the best dictionaries of the time, the word Israel only referred to a particular man and an ancient tribe, which is consistent with the Bible text. See Israel, Websters New International Dictionary 2nd (1950) Edition. All of this language, including the prophecy about the future being really bad for those who persecute the Jews, reflects and furthers the goals of the Anti-Defamation League, which has a stated goal of creating an environment where opposing the State of Israel is considered anti-Semitism, and anti-Semitism is a hate crime punishable by law. This dream has become a reality in the Christian Zionist churches of America. Only someone with these goals could have written this footnote. The State of Israels legal claims to Arab lands are based on the United Nations Partitioning Agreement of 1947, which gave the Jews only a fraction of the land they have since occupied by force. But when this author went to Israel and asked various Israelis where they got the right to occupy Palestine, each invariably said words to the effect that God gave it to us. This interpretation of Hebrew scripture stems from the book of Genesis and is called the Abrahamic Covenant. It is repeated several times and begins with Gods promise to a man called Abraham who was eventually to become the grandfather of a man called Israel: [2] AND I WILL MAKE OF THEE A GREAT NATION, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALL BE A BLESSING: [3] AND I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE, AND CURSE HIM THAT CURSETH THEE: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED. Genesis 12:3, King James Edition. It is upon this promise to a single person that modern Israeli Zionists base their claims to what amounts to the entire Mid-East. Its logic is roughly the equivalent of someone claiming to be the heir to the John Paul Getty estate because the great man had once sent a letter to someones cousin seven times removed containing the salutation wishing you my very best. In Sherrys War, We Hold These Truths provides a common sense discussion of the Abrahamic Covenant and how millions of Christians are taught to misunderstand it. It is tempting to engage in academic arguments to show readers the lack of logic in Scofields theology, which has led followers of Christ so far astray. It seems all too easy to refute the various Bible references given in support of Scofields strange writings. But we will resist the temptation to do this, because others have already done it quite well, and more importantly because it leads us off our course. It is also inviting to dig into Scofields sordid past as Canfield has done, revealing him to be a convicted felon and probable pathological liar, but we leave that to others, because our interest is not in Scofields life, but in saving the lives of millions of innocent people who are threatened by the continuing Zionist push for perpetual war. Instead, we will examine the words on their face. The words in these 1967 footnotes are Zionist propaganda that has been tacked onto the text of a Christian Bible. Most of them make no sense, except to support the Zionist State of Israel in its war against the Palestinians and any other wars it may enter into. In this purpose, Zionism has completely succeeded. American Judeo-Christians, more recently labeled Christian Zionists, have remained mute during wars upon Israels enemies in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and elsewhere. It is past time to stop the spilling of more blood, some of it Christian blood. Now, for evidence of the intent of the Zionist deception of Christians, let us examine some Scofields notes THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED OR REMOVED by Oxford after his death. In 1908 Scofield wrote in 1908: THE CONTRAST, I KNOW THAT YE ARE ABRAHAMS SEED - IF YE WERE ABRAHAMS CHILDREN IS THAT BETWEEN THE NATURAL AND THE SPIRITUAL POSTERITY OF ABRAHAM. THE ISRAELITISH PEOPLE AND ISHMAELITISH PEOPLE ARE THE FORMER; ALL WHO ARE OF THE PRECIOUS FAITH WITH ABRAHAM, WHETHER JEWS OR GENTILES, ARE THE LATTER (ROM 9, 6-8; GAL, 4-14. SEE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT GEN 15, 18, NOTE). ( Scofields 1945 page 1127, note to John 8:39) Compare that with the Oxford note substituted in the 1967 Edition: 8:37 ALL JEWS ARE NATURAL DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, BUT ARE NOT NECESSARILY HIS SPIRITUAL POSTERITY, CP Rom 9-6-8, Gal 3: 6-14 (Note (1) P1136, Oxford 1967 Edition, note to Jn 8:37.) How, pray tell, can all Jews be natural descendants of Abraham, a Chaldean who lived some 3000 years ago? Persons of all races are Jews and new Jews are being converted every day from every race. One might as well say all Lutherans are the natural descendants of Martin Luther; or that all Baptists come from the loins of John the Baptist. This note could only have been written by an Israeli patriot, for no one else would have a vested interest in promoting this genetic nonsense. Shame on those who accept this racism; it is apostate Christianity. The original Scofield note was far out of line with traditional Christianity in 1908 and should have been treated as heresy then. Yet Scofield had failed to go far enough for the Zionists. Scofield clearly recognized what the book of Genesis states, that the sons of Ishmael are co-heirs to Abrahams ancient promise. Did not Scofield say the Israelitish people and Ishmaelitish people are...the natural posterity of Abraham? The Oxford Press simply waited for Scofield to die and changed it as they wished.
