AMERICAN EVANGELICALS HAVE
BEEN HOODWINKED INTO A BIG LIE ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE RAPTURE

"I am convinced that Cyrus Scofield was an
agent of the Rothschilds and that his reference Bible was deliberately used to
blind Christians to what the true nature and purpose of the soon-to-be modern
State of Israel was. And it worked—BIG TIME."
According
to some prophecy preachers, the Rapture is supposed to take place tomorrow,
July 27, 2018. The reason for this prediction is due to the fact that there is
going to be another “blood” moon tomorrow—the longest “blood” moon in this
century, they say.
But
that doesn’t stop these prophecy kooks from constantly predicting the date of
the Rapture. Practically every Jewish holiday or feast day, “blood” moon or
unusual solar occurrence will prompt some prophecy-obsessed preacher somewhere
to predict the Rapture will take place on that date. (It would take volumes to
talk about all of the predictions that prophecy preachers have made regarding
when the Rapture will take place over the past seventy years.)
Of
course, after the predicted date comes and goes, there is always another predicted
date. And after the Rapture doesn’t occur tomorrow, the same televangelists and
prophecy preachers will continue to predict future dates, and people will
continue to believe and support these false prophets. Don’t ask me to explain
people’s gullibility with all of that. It’s just the way it is.
Mind
you, I was educated in dispensational prophecy doctrines myself. I was taught
them, I believed them and, for over thirty years, I taught them to others.
(I’ve asked God to forgive me for that, and now I’m doing my best to try and
awaken people to those egregiously erroneous teachings.) So, I am very familiar
with the way it all works.
The catalyst for the
obsession with prophetic futurism was basically two things: 1) the massive
acceptance by fundamentalist/evangelical Christians of the Scofield Reference
Bible (originally published in 1909 and revised in 1917) and 2) the creation of
the Zionist State of Israel in 1948.
Scofield
convinced a majority of Christians that Christ’s return was in two parts: the
Rapture (which was imminent) and Second Coming. He treats the Rapture and
Second Coming as two distinct events separated in time by a span of seven
years, with the first 3½ years known as “The Tribulation” and the second 3½
years known as “The Great Tribulation.” This understanding was based on
Scofield’s misinterpretation of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy in the Old
Testament Book of Daniel. And, of course, when Israel came into existence in
1948, Christians became convinced that this was the beginning of prophetic
end-time events—and the rest, as they say, is history.
I
well remember preachers telling people back in the 1970s that the Rapture was
going to take place in 1988—forty years after the inception of modern Israel.
They based that prediction on the passage of Scripture where Jesus said:
Now learn a
parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth
leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say
unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
(Matthew 24:32-34 KJV)
These
preachers said that the fig tree putting forth leaves was Rothschild’s Israel
(no, most Christians do not understand modern Israel’s connection to Rothschild
Zionism—to this very day, they do not make the connection. In fact, they do not
even know what Rothschild Zionism is), and since a Biblical generation is most
commonly forty years, the Rapture HAD to take place in 1988 (some said 1981 to
allow for the seven year “Tribulation”), because Jesus said THAT generation
would not pass until it was all (Christ’s Second Coming) fulfilled. Obviously,
1988 was thirty years ago, and the Rapture did not take place.
Hence,
prophecy preachers have had to adjust and readjust their interpretations of
that passage of Scripture several times now.
My
point is, all of this date-setting about the Rapture is nothing new. It’s been
going on ever since the Scofield Reference Bible saturated evangelical
Christianity and the State of Israel came into existence.
One
of the things I have come to understand about prophetic futurism is that
EVERYTHING HINGES ON ISRAEL. That’s why prophecy preachers and dispensational
Bible teachers are obsessed with modern Israel. To them, Israel is at the core
of their understanding of prophecy. I will even dare to say that, to them,
Christ is not the focus of prophecy; Israel is.
This
flagrant misinterpretation of Scripture (popularized by Scofield) has turned
modern Israel into a god in the eyes of many Christians. Oh, they would never
admit to committing the sin of idolatry with Israel, but in truth, that is
exactly what many of them are doing.
After
much study on the subject, I am convinced that Cyrus Ingerson Scofield was an
agent of the Rothschilds and that his reference Bible was deliberately used to
blind Christians to what the true nature and purpose of the soon-to-be modern
State of Israel was. And it worked—BIG TIME. To most Christians today, modern
Israel is a “miracle of God”—a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy—and the atheistic, Talmudic, Kabbalistic Jews who control the
Zionist state are “God’s Chosen People.”
As
a result, America (thanks to seventy years of indoctrination by tens of
thousands of pastors, radio and TV preachers, churches and Bible colleges and
seminaries) has literally become a doormat (and puppet) for Israel.
No
country on earth could attack a U.S. Navy vessel (the USS Liberty) and kill 34 American Sailors
and Marines with complete and total impunity. Beyond that, the U.S. government
(with the assistance of the mainstream media) deliberately and aggressively
covered up this attack and even apologized on behalf of the attacking country.
No country on earth could get by with such a thing. No country, that is, except
Israel.
In
addition, most of America’s invasions, bombings, military conflicts and wars
over the past several decades (including the current ones) have been little
more than proxy wars for Israel. Pro-Israel policies and agendas literally
dominate America’s politics, news media and entertainment industries—not to
mention most churches, of course. And the Donald Trump presidency has only
deepened Christians’ infatuation (even obsession) with Israel-driven,
Israel-focused prophecy.
No,
the Rapture will not take place tomorrow—or the day after that. The whole
Scofield/dispensationalist/futurist/Israel-based prophecy doctrines are
egregious error. These doctrines have produced and are producing great harm to
the Church and to our country. In fact, these doctrines are resulting in great
death and destruction as evil forces are manipulating these doctrines to
inflict much war and bloodshed around the world.
This
is another reason why I am enthusiastically promoting Christopher Bollyn’s new
book The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East.
As
I wrote in this column last week, What If Everything We’ve Been Told Is A Lie? What if
everything we’ve been told about 9/11 and the “War on Terror” is a lie? And
indeed it is.
The
government and media have misled us about 9/11 in order to compel public
opinion to support the War on Terror.
Why
have we gone along with it? Do we accept endless war as normal? Are we numb to
the suffering caused by our military interventions?
No.
We have simply been propagandized into submission. We have been deceived into
thinking that the War on Terror is a good thing, a valiant struggle against
terrorists who intend to attack us as we were on 9/11.
Behind
the War on Terror is a strategic plan crafted decades in advance to redraw the
map of the Middle East. 9/11 was a false-flag operation blamed on Muslims in
order to start the military operations for that strategic plan.
Recognizing the
origin of the plan is crucial to understanding the deception that has changed
our world.
The
people who are perpetuating the lies about 9/11 and the “War on Terror” most
certainly will not appreciate or accept Bollyn’s book. And there will be many
people—including Christians—who are very comfortable believing the lies about
9/11 and the “War on Terror” who will not appreciate it either.
