The State of Israel controls every gate into the Gaza Strip. One such gate called Rafah connects the tiny land with the Egyptian Sinai. But to get there you must cross a kilometer wide Israeli zone, and if you’re lucky enough to be allowed passage to Gaza it is with Israel’s permission; your passport shows you have entered Israel, not Palestine. Only yesterday two unnamed swimmers tried to bypass this checkpoint and were shot in the water by the crew of an Israeli Navy ship.
But an even more strange right of passage is practiced inside America’s churches. For when you enter what is referred to generically as an evangelical church you are probably about to partake in a Zionist controlled religion as distant from traditional Christianity as is Pharisaism.
British Lord Balfour provided a forged deed for the State of Israel to enter Arab land. And at almost the same hour he wrote his famous letter, the new dispensational church movement in America was being hijacked for the specific purpose of blessing world Zionism. Dispensationalism, or evangelicalism, as it is often called, has its roots in and owes its success to British nobles who were, for the most part, above religion and called each other “Lord.” Both Israel and dispensational Christianity received their baptismal blessings from the British Crown.
There is no nation of Palestine today, nor was there one in 1917 when it was gifted to the world Zionist movement. It would be more accurate to call the Arab lands “Occupied Philistia,” the historic land of the Philistines. From a religious point of view one could also dub Israel “Phariseeland” recognizing the decline of its spiritualism in Jesus’ time. But the British chose the name “Palestine” and Lord Balfour referred to it as the “homeland for the Jewish people” when he, represented the Crown of England, he made this strange land deed to English Lord, Lionel Walter Rothschild in a letter, known ever since as the Balfour Declaration. It states:
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
“His Majesty’s Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely, Arthur James Balfour
Barron Rothschild was the most prominent Jew in England, chosen to communicate the good news to the world Zionism organization (the Company) then headed by a Russian Zionist named Chaim Weizmann. There was also no state called Israel at that time, which makes this land grant so unique in history. It might be likened to the US Congress granting California to the Church of England. Congress does not own California; the World Zionist Federation was not a state, but a company.
This British gift of someone else’s land was the beginning of the endless wars with Arabs on one side, pitted against Jews, Zionist-Christians, and the US Government on the other side. It is one of the most lopsided miss-matches in the history of genocide, equivalent to a staged Roman slaughter of humans by lions. The question that must be asked is:
Why do professing Christians allow themselves to be drawn into an unscriptural shedding of innocent blood, not to mention land theft?
American “Christians” provide the margin of victory for Zionism. They alone provided the moral excuse for the slaughter, and in so doing it stands against everything we are taught in Jesus’ words about the absolute obligation to protect the “least of our brothers.”
The war in the Mideast, as anyone with one eye can see, is an indecent mismatch beyond civilized imagination. It is understandable that Jewish synagogues might support it, but why do Christian Churches stand for brutality against the weak? Answer: Because it is required by their “religion.” We will continue to examine how this was arranged.
The Balfour Declaration was not enough to make the State of Israel a political reality in a world dominated by a substantially Biblically aware America. Zionism’s founders stated they needed broad American support else their venture would fail. The USA was the new, great world power, even if most Americans did not yet know it. Most Americans rightly respected Arab culture in the first half of the 20th Century. Mr. Weizmann faced no small public relations trick in winning Christians to support the tribe that calls itself by the name of those who tormented and killed Jesus Christ. He needed a required a radical change in Christian doctrine.
The new, Zionist-friendly Christianity was hatched from eggs laid by its European predecessors, primarily Edwin Ervin and John Nelson Darby. Its purpose was (unknown to its followers) to make Zionist land theft biblically legal and morally acceptable. To do this Zionists needed a rewritten Bible that would make the State of Israel a necessary precursor to the imminent return of Christ to planet earth. The idea was to make Jesus Christ’s return to earth imminent, and to make Jesus’ return to earth dependant upon the Jew’s return to the land of the Philistines first. Zionists were to write such a bible and sell it to Christ followers through their seminaries.
The neo-Christian-Zionists would at first simply accept the erroneous notion that the Bible predicted a political state of Israel in Palestine. As time went on those who accepted this new religon would be taught to accept mass deportation and displacment of Arabs to secure the real estate upon which Christ would someday (very soon) set up an earthly rule called a “Millennial kingdom.”
In the dispensational scheme, Zionists were to be allowed the role of custodianship of the land until Jesus decided he needed it, at which time the Israeli Jews would be out of luck, out of land again, and would be slaughtered as well. This unhappy ending for world Judaism did not worry the Zionists because it served their purpose and they did not believe it anyway. It was perfected in the Scofield Reference Bible, and it is also precisely the message that is sold in tens of millions of pulp fiction, “Left Behind” books written by Tim Lahaye’s enterprises, as well as by a thousand other similar “rapture” and Armageddon authors over the last 90 years.
The English Crown’s influence over Oxford University Press, supposedly a part of Oxford University In 1908 Oxford was the most prestigious publishing company in England is beyond this study. It seems likely that Lord Rothschild’s has a role in seeing to it that Oxford Press published the Scofield Reference Bible in 1908.
Lord Rothschild and his banking friends and family had the financial clout to support and promote the upstart religion and sell Scofield Reference Bible to 70 million Americans. Oxford University Press promoted Scofield’s book to the seminaries and bible colleges of America. Later it was disclosed that Oxford owned the book and still does. Scofieldism is also Rothschildism; both had an incalculable negative influence on changing traditional Christianity.
Dispensationalism is the label provided from Cyrus I. Scofield’s seven “dispensations,” the first being found in the footnotes on page 4 (1967 Edition). The excuse for the conquest of what We Hold These Truths and the Bible calls the “Land of the Philistines” is found in Scofield footnote on page 251 called the “Palestinian Covent”; and in footnotes to the book of Genesis (12:3), wherein the promise of a Christ-child is converted into a shabby future land swindle to justify the theft of the present day Arab lands. The theft was caused consumated in 1947, some 3000 years after Abram is said to have had his conversation with God about fathering a great tribe.
The Scofield Reference Bible is the transparent forgery for changing fundamental Christianity into Rothschild’s Zionism. Today it dominates the evangelical bible colleges and seminaries, beginning with the Moody Bible Institute and Dallas Theological Seminary and pulpits of evangelical churches of America.
We Hold These Truths has explained some of the most damaging Oxford/Scofield interpetations, which are in the endnotes.
Followers of Christ can effectively confrontation religious leaders, as has been done many time at church vigil organized by project Strait Gate. The Litmus test question each leader should be asked is:
“Pastor, do you teach that the present day State of Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophesy?”
Project Strait Gate’s purpose is to make this confrontation with your church so simple that any layman can do it. Respect for all human life be restored within our society when we, who claim to follow Christ, learn to confront the errant churches head on. It will rekindle the spark of decency, and it might even please God.
