In this newsletter, we will see that the single most effective means to this end employed by the Rothschilds and their allies was a translation and commentary on the Bible that falsely extended God’s blessings upon Israel under the Old Covenant to a secular association of Jєωιѕн people who rejected the New Covenant. This translation and commentary was the Scofield Bible, published by the Rothschild-owned Oxford University Press at the end of the nineteenth century. We will also see that the Scofield Bible not only provided a false Scriptural basis for Christian Zionism. It also provided a false reconciliation between the “long ages” of Lyellian geology and Darwinian evolution and the sacred history of Genesis through the so-called “gap theory” which claimed to discover a “gap” between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 that could accommodate the long ages of molecules to man evolution. By deceiving huge numbers of protestants and Catholics into embracing some form of Christian Zionism and some kind of “long ages” alternative to the traditional Catholic reading of Genesis, the Scofield Bible and its promoters paved the way for Teilhard de Chardin’s “new Christianity” based on evolution that has become the “spirituality” of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr.
“If Any Man Provide Not For His Own He Has Denied the Faith”
It is an axiom of authentic Catholic spirituality that a founder who is an unrepentant moral monster can only bring forth monstrosities. The man chosen by the Rothschilds and their allies to corrupt the thinking of Christians so as to pave the way for a godless state of Israel proved himself an accomplished liar long before he was chosen for that task. In the words of researcher T.J. Smith:
Scofield started out as a crooked Kansas lawyer and politician. In 1881, the Atchison Globe reported:
C. I. Schofield [sic], who was appointed United States District Attorney for Kansas in 1873, and who turned out worse than any other Kansas official, is now a Campbellite preacher in Missouri. His wife and two children live in Atchison. He contributes nothing to their support except good advice.
That same year, the Topeka Daily Capital published this:
Cyrus I. Schofield [sic], formerly of Kansas, late lawyer, politician and shyster generally, has come to the surface again, and promises once more to gather around himself that halo of notoriety that has made him so prominent in the past. The last personal knowledge that Kansans have had of this peer among scalawags, was when about four years ago, after a series of forgeries and confidence games, he left the state and a destitute family and took refuge in Canada. For a time he kept undercover, nothing being heard of him until within the past two years when he turned up in St. Louis, where he had a wealthy widowed sister living who has generally come to the front and squared up Cyrus’ little follies and foibles by paying good round sums of money. Within the past year, however, Cyrus committed a series of St. Louis forgeries that could not be settled so easily, and the erratic young gentleman was compelled to linger in the St. Louis jail for a period of six months.
However, court cases against Scofield were inexplicably dropped. As Joseph M. Canfield, who is probably Scofield’s most thorough biographer, noted: “The very sudden dropping of the criminal charges without proper adjudication suggests that Scofield’s career was in the hands of someone who had clout . . .”
Scofield immersed himself in Darby’s teachings and made rapid ecclesiastical progress: by 1881 he was already pastoring in St. Louis, despite having no seminary training or religious education.
In 1882, Scofield moved to Dallas and began an extended term as pastor of the First Congregational Church. Possibly this move was necessitated because his criminal past and familial irresponsibility were too well known in the Kansas-Missouri region. As Rev. John S. Torell wrote:
There were a number of wealthy and political power brokers in the membership of the First Congregational Church in Dallas . . . I do know that most churches in the United States are heavily infested with Freemasons. George Bannerman Dealey was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in the later part of his life. But he was also heavily involved in the occult, majoring in the Scottish Rite of Masonry with a 33rd degree and active as a Shriner, and was also a member of the Red Cross of Constantine. Most likely he had a hand in getting Cyrus into Masonic circles and particularly the Lotos Club in New York.
Meanwhile, back in Kansas . . . in 1883, Scofield’s wife Leontine, and her children, were granted a divorce on the grounds of abandonment. Within six months of the divorce, Scofield married a new wife, Hettie.
The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, “But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” (1 Tim 5:8). Scofield’s fans gave him a free pass on this teaching and, big surprise, the Scofield Reference Bible makes no commentary on this verse.
Although Scofield became quite wealthy from his reference Bible, there is no evidence that he ever shared his riches with his abandoned family, or ever made restitution to the people whom he had defrauded in Kansas and Missouri.
By 1892 Cyrus began using the title “Dr. Scofield.” However, there is no evidence Scofield ever received a doctorate. He never attended a college or seminary. Again, this deceit was performed to erase any “red flags” from those doubting his new version of the Scriptures.
Separating the Wheat of Truth from the Chaff of Error
The success of the Scofield Bible and its promoters in winning over tens of millions of protestants to the false theology of Christian Zionism demonstrates the necessity of Catholic Tradition to preserve the correct interpretation of Sacred Scripture. Neither Christian Zionism nor the Gap Theory could find any foundation in the Sacred Liturgy or in the writings of the Church Fathers. Consequently, neither one of these errors could gain any traction among Catholics, as long as Church leaders and theologians practiced a traditional approach to Biblical exegesis. With the acceptance of evolution by most Catholic intellectuals during the first half of the twentieth century, however, most theologians adopted the modernist mindset, which held that doctrines could evolve in ways that contradicted their previous formulations—like the new doctrine on the intrinsic evil of capital punishment which contradicts the authoritative teaching of Pope Innocent III in a Profession of Faith that he required of the Waldensian heretics before they could be received into the Church.
One source of confusion for traditional Catholics derives from the fact that while God did not positively will the erection of a secular state of Israel, He did foresee and foretell the return of the Jєωιѕн people to the Holy Land and their final conversion to faith in the New Covenant. In an excellent summary of the patristic teaching on the conversion of the Jews before the end of the world, author Michael Vlach cites Fr. Denis Fahey who:
gives the names of theologians through the twelfth century who believed “that the Jews will be converted.” The list includes Tertullian, Origen, St. Hillary, St. Ambrose, St. John Chrysostom, St. Jerome, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Prosper of Aquitaine, Cassiodorus, Preniasius, St. Gregory the Great, St. Isidore, Venerable Bede, St. Anselm, St. Peter Damian, and St. Bernard . . .
According to Fr. Fahey, in his work The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jєωιѕн Nation, the view that “the Jews will be converted . . . towards the end of the world can be proved from the texts of the Fathers, century by century.” Moreover, Vlach rightly points out that:
the Salvation of the Jews, as expected by the early church theologians, was not merely a trickle of believing Jews throughout history but an eschatological event that took place with the prophesied comings of Elijah, Antichrist, and Jesus. For early theologians, the salvation of Israel would be a spectacular “last days” occurrence.
