The Scofield Scam of Christian Zionism

Cyrus Scofield was a self-described theologian and minister whose annotated Bible promoted “end times” futurism among fundamentalist Christians. One of the core beliefs of this invented doctrine is that Israel has to be restored before Jesus can come to “rapture” his followers up to heaven. Scofield’s bastardized pro-Zionist Bible — corrupted after visits to New York City (red flag, red flag) and London (red flag, red flag) — received such hype (red flag, red flag) that it became the best-selling version in America. The back-story of Mr. Scofield — namely, his moral character — adds still more intrigue to the story of his Bible editing.

At the beginning of the American Civil War, 1861, 17-year-old Scofield enlisted as a private in the Tennessee Infantry. The following year, after being hospitalized, Scofield petitioned for a discharge. In 1862, Scofield was conscripted again into Confederate service. He then deserted and escaped behind Union lines in Kentucky. After taking the Union oath of allegiance, Scofield was allowed to settle in St. Louis, Missouri.

In 1866, he married into a prominent family in St. Louis, and then apprenticed in the law office of his brother-in-law. In 1871, Scofield was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives. In 1873, Scofield was appointed U. S. District Attorney for Kansas. Later that same year, he was forced to resign because of scandalous financial transactions — including the acceptance of bribes; the stealing of political contributions intended for a Senator that he was raising money for; and the securing of bank loans by forging signatures. Some students of Scofield’s shady history maintain that he was in fact jailed on forgery charges, although there is no solid evidence to be found in the public records.

In addition to being a crook, Scofield was also a heavy drinker and a dead-beat father. In 1883, Scofield’s wife divorced him on grounds of his desertion of her and their two daughters. That same year Scofield re-married, and later had a son.

Starting in the early 1890s, Scofield touted himself as “Reverend” C. I. Scofield, D.D (Doctor of Divinity) but there have never been any known records of any academic institution having granted him such a degree (sort of like Obongo).

We are not able — neither through documentation nor witness testimony — to definitively link this disloyal money-mad criminal from the South to any Jewish paymasters. But what is known about Scofield is that, as previously stated, he spent time in (((New York City))) and (((London))) before coming out with his concocted crap. The puffed-up “study Bible” which would make him rich, famous and immortal was first published in 1909 — (a time when the Zionist movement was already preparing to have Britain conquer Palestine during the coming first World War) — by Oxford University Press (red flag, red flag). Scofield ended his days in New York, dying at his home on Long Island in 1921.

As a responsible historical source, the RHC tries to avoid drawing conclusions by inference alone, if possible. However, for an old cold case of one such as Scummy Scofield, logical inference is all we have. And so, given “Reverend” and “Dr.” Scofield’s record of military desertion, family desertion, drunkenness, forgery, theft, forced resignation from government office, possible jail time, sudden “conversion” to Christ, mysterious trips to London and New York, the unusual hyping and mass distribution of his Oxford Press “study Bible,” and — most of all — the fact that his pulled-out-his-ass “annotations” created a multi-million-moron army of “Christian Zionists” that has so benefited Israel —- well, RHC is  gonna go out on a short and sturdy limb. Here goes:

Cyrus Scofield (like Marx, Darwin, Einstein, Kalergi et al.) was a hired hack of the Rothschild crime syndicate.
