Cyrus Ingerson
Scofield
"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 had plans to acquire a homeland for all Jews worldwide,
even though most were far from homeless, and most did not want another home.
World Zionists want land
American Christians call "the Holy Land."
Zionists read "Democracy in
America" and other journals of American churches which proclaimed Jerusalem
as a Holy site of all Christiandom.
Traditional American churches of the
19th Century would never stand for a Zionist occupation of Jesus' homeland like
Christian Zionists do today.
World Zionist leaders, seeing the
hearts of Americans, initiated a program to
change American hearts
and minds through religious reorientation.
One of the main tools
used to accomplish this goal was an obscure and malleable
Civil War diserter named
Cyrus I. Schofield and a venerable, world respected European
book publisher - The Oxford
University Press.
1873
Cyrus Scofield, a small time politician and career criminal, is forced
to resign his position as a District Attorney because of crooked financial
transactions, that include accepting
bribes, stealing
political contributions, and securing bank notes by forging signatures at 29
years of age.
A heavy
drinker, Scofield abandons
his first wife and two daughters to marry his second wife while becoming
an ordained minister as
divorce proceedings linger.
Scofield becomes a leader in dispensational premillennialism.
The
Scofield Reference Bible is the most influential statement of
dispensational premillennialism or
Zionism.
German
"high criticism" of the bible is leading toward emphasis on a social gospel
instead of on literal
acceptance of miracles and supernatural events.
Orthodox theologians insist on fundamentally
literal reading of basic elements of Christian faith as laid out by
Saul of Tarsus including the
virgin birth, the
divinity of Christ,
the bodily resurrection,
the trinity.
This scholarly
backlash against the social gospel and higher criticism might not have gotten
as much traction if it were not for the investment of Lyman Stewart, president
of Union Oil, in the
publication of a series of booklets, which he distributed to any minister in
the US who was interested.
The social gospel would call a rich man like
Lyman Stewart to consider his employees as
human beings rather than animals to be enslaved.
Lyman Stewart, a "dispensationalist", believed Jesus would return and
reign from Jerusalem and the false promise to Israel would be
fulfilled.
Scofield's notes teach premillennialism and
dispensationalism, a theology that was systematized in the early nineteenth
century by the Anglo-Irish
clergyman John Nelson
Darby (a Plymouth
Brethren exclusivist who like Scofield, and
John Calvin had been trained as a
lawyer).
Dispensationalism
emphasizes the
distinctions between the
New Testament Church
and ancient Israel of the
Septuagint.
Scofield claimed that between creation and the final
judgement there are seven distinct eras of God's dealing with man and that
these eras are a framework
around which the message of the Bible could be explained.
It was
largely through the influence of Scofield's notes that dispensational
premillennialism became influential among fundamentalist Christians in the US,
and these notes became a significant
source for popular religious fantasy writers such as
Hal Lindsey.
The scheme is to alter the
Christian view of Zionism by creating and promoting a pro-Zionist antiCulture
within Christianity.
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield's role is 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.
1909
The
Oxford University Press prints the Scofield Reference Bible.
With limitless advertising and
propaganda, it becomes one of
the best selling Bibles in America and remains so for nearly a century.
The Scofield Reference Bible is not just another translation,
subverting minor passages
a little at a time.
Scofield produces a revolutionary book that
radically changes the fundamental structure of the King James version.
Designed to
create a subculture
around a new worship icon,
the modern State of Israel,
a state that does not yet exist, but which is already on the drawing boards of
the committed, well-funded authors of World Zionism.
Cyrus Ingerson
Scofield's support comes from a movement
that takes 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" later serve on Scofield's Editorial Committee.
Cyrus
Ingerson Scofield imitates a chain
of past heretics and rapturists, most of whose credibility fizzles over
their faulty end times prophesies.
Scofield's Bible injects a very weird
"End Times" prophecy into
Christianity which is best termed
Christian Zionism.
Due to Scofield's altered Bible, many Christians today believe that
Jesus will return to save his followers from the "end times" (The Rapture), after Israel is
established, and that "God will bless those who bless Israel."
"In every
human dispute we look for the oppressor and the oppressed and we try to
determine who is right and who is wrong. I'm doing that now. EVERYTHING I read
and access tells me that Zionism is a scourge and I
am an Ashkenazi Jew, a
Khwārezm by birth. So
believe me, it has not been comforting
to walk down this path. These
are my people and I am beginning
to believe that they're criminals, one and all." - Jeff Prager |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
