Twisted Scripture: Scofield Bible Rolled In to Create ‘Christian’ Zionism and Dispensationalism 1909, 1967!
Scofield’s 1967 Notes: “Bless [Talmudic] Israel to get blessed!”
The Bible (Gen. 12:3) does NOT say ‘he who blesses Israel will be blessed.’ “It says nothing about Israel, but that all families will be blessed through Abraham, that was through his seed Jesus Christ! – Steven Ben-Nun, Israeli News Live, 10/17/23
The Scofield Reference Bible is a widely circulated study Bible edited and annotated by the American Bible student Cyrus I. Scofield, which popularized dispensationalism at the beginning of the 20th century. Published by Oxford University Press and containing the entire text of the traditional, Protestant King James Version, it first appeared in 1909 and was revised by the author in 1917.[1]
The Scofield Reference Bible, published in the early 20th century, has left an indelible mark on the world of Christian thought, particularly concerning the role of Israel in biblical prophecy and modern geopolitics. Its influence, manifested in the rise of Christian Zionism, has had profound implications not just for the faithful but also for the political landscapes of the Middle East. Through an exploration of its annotations and their ripple effects, this essay seeks to shed light on Scofield’s legacy, its intersection with global events, and the challenges of interpreting ancient prophecies in contemporary contexts. – Douglas C Youvan
