The Scofield Reference Bible and its several clones is all but worshiped in the ranks of celebrity Christians, beginning with the first media icon, evangelist Billy Graham. Of particular importance to the Zionist penetration of American Christian churches has been the fast growth of national bible study organizations, such as Bible Study Fellowship and Precept Ministries. These draw millions of students from not only evangelical fundamentalist churches, but also from Catholic and mainline Protestant churches and non-church contacts. These invariably teach forms of "dispensationalism," which draw their theory, to various degrees, from the notes in the Oxford Bible.

"He was a self-promoter in every sense of the word, even lying about being able to comfort and calm the entire city of Belfast, Ireland with a sermon he delivered there the Sunday after the Titanic sunk.[v] His behind-the-scenes handlers saw to it that his swindles and schemes were swept under the rug and that only a positive image of him was promoted, especially an exaggeration of his Biblical knowledge and wisdom. Men like 33rd degree freemason George Bannerman Dealey owner of the Dallas Morning News and member of Scofield’s church contributed greatly to the cause . But occasionally, newspapers who weren’t loyal to his cause would put out damaging information on him. Here is an excerpt from the Topeka newspaper The Daily Capital dated August 27, 1881:"
George Bannerman Dealey, owner of the Dallas Morning News, member of Scofield's church and 33rd degree Freemason, greatly helped the impostor in his work. Scofield was also supported by oil baron Lyman Stewart (1840-1923), president of Union Oil Company and one of the cofounders of Biola University, Arno C. Gaebelein (1861-1945) and other wealthy friends who chose to remain anonymous. After the American Civil War, Scofield met up with John J Ingalls (1833-1900) who was a lawyer, Kansas State senator, Secretary of State and judge advocate during the Civil War who rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and US Senator. Ingalls assisted Scofield in gaining admission to the Bar, and helped to procure his appointment as Federal Attorney for Kansas. Ingalls was born into Massachusetts society and was thus from the Eastern Establishment. He was a graduate of Williams College and was apart from his other activities the spokesman for a Boston group known as "The Secret Six."
Untermeyer introduced Scofield to numerous Zionist and socialist leaders, including Samuel Gompers, Fiorello LaGuardia, Abraham Straus, Bernard Baruch and Jacob Schiff. These were the people who financed Scofield's research trips to Oxford and arranged the publication and distribution of his concordance.
It is impossible to overstate the influence of Cyrus Scofield on twentieth-century Christian beliefs. The Scofield Bible is the standard reference work in virtually all Christian ministries and divinity schools. It is singularly responsible for the Christian belief that the Hebrew Prophecies describe the kingdom of Jesus' Second Coming, and not the Zionist vision of a man-made New World Order.
Billy Graham’s Warning to JFK – “Don’t Go to Dallas”
November 22, 2013 By Robert C. Crosby 0 Comments
One week before President John F. Kennedy made the fateful trip to Dallas in 1963, Billy Graham “had an inner foreboding that something terrible was going to happen” to the president while there. Read the full story in my article in the Huffington Post.

If they simply professed unusual beliefs, movement leaders wouldn’t be remarkable. But what makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government. The new prophets and apostles believe Christians””certain Christians””are destined to not just take “dominion” over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the “Seven Mountains” of society, including the media and the arts and entertainment world. They believe they’re intended to lord over it all. As a first step, they’re leading an “army of God” to commandeer civilian government.

Some of these groups’ beliefs and activities will be startling, even to many conservative evangelicals. For example, in 2010 Texas prayer warriors visited every Masonic lodge in the state attempting to cast out the demon Baal, whom they believe controls Freemasonry. At each site, the warriors read a decree“”written in legalese””divorcing Baal from the “People of God” and recited a lengthy prayer referring to Freemasonry as “witchcraft.”
Asked whether he shares these views, Stringer launches into a long treatise about secrecy during which he manages to lump together Mormonism, Freemasonry and college fraternities.
“I think there has been a lot of damage and polarization over decades because of the influence of some areas of Freemasonry that have been corrupted,” he says. “In fact, if you look at the original founder of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith, he had a huge influence by Masonry. Bottom-line, anything that is so secretive that has to be hidden in darkness … is not biblical. The Bible says that everything needs to be brought to the light. That’s why I would never be part of a fraternity, like on campus.”
The Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, said he had been contacted by Mr. Graham’s personal assistant in recent days about the membership switch.
“We’ll always treasure the relationship,” Dr. Jeffress said.
Mr. Graham joined First Baptist Dallas during his first crusade in the city, held at the Cotton Bowl in 1953. First Baptist Dallas was then led by the Rev. W.A. Criswell, and was widely considered the preeminent church in the Southern Baptist Convention.
But the globe-trotting evangelist has never lived in Dallas, and visited the church only rarely through the years.
There is a famous event that took place with W.A. in South Carolina. He was preaching in Columbia and delivered one of these segregation messages. Criswell adhered to the "Curse of Ham" theory. This was the theory that Blacks were cursed by God to be servants to White people. This was the widely held doctrine at Bob Jones University. Strom Thurmond, the famed Ole South Segregationist, got word of Criswell's message and introduced him as a speaker for the South Carolina Legislature. Criswell did his segregation, curse of Ham, thing and it moved the legislators to a jubilant response. They helped then back laws banning state employment for anyone who belonged to the NAACP. In 1958, the orator was invited to speak at the graduation exercise of a large Dallas High School. He provide them with his sermon gem on the Biblical justification of segregation based on the curse of Ham.8 The curse of Ham was a Southern myth about Noah's sons. Fact is that Ham was not a black person like the myth pretends. The idea that a PHD from a seminary would deliver such a shallow and bigoted version of interpretation of the text is certainly confusing considering Criswell's standards.
--------------
Criswell's politics were somewhere to the right of Glenn Beck's. During the Vietnam war he chastised war protestors as Communists from his pulpit.9 Rice historian Chandler Davidson wrote that there were three kingpins in Texas that led to the revival of the GOP in the state. One was a segregationist politician, the other two were in First Baptist Dallas. One was Criswell, the other was H.L. Hunt, the wealthy oil baron. 10
The Kennedy episode in Dallas provides an interesting story in the legacy of the church and politics. Criswell had delivered a sermon claiming that the election of JFK would be the end of religious liberty in the nation. This was interesting since he openly stated the separation of church and state doctrine was created by an infidel. I recall his public endorsement of Gerald Ford over fellow Southern Baptist Jimmy Carter for President. Criswell also endorsed Nixon and the first Bush. H.L. Hunt liked the anti-Kennedy sermon so well he mailed it out all over the state to churches. 11

An item of note is the Hunt money and how it impacted the Southern Baptist Convention. It was their money that set up Criswell College. This was the school established because you could not trust the denominational schools to get it right. You can make the case without this institution, and its leader, you would not have the right wing takeover of the convention. The school is traced back to Hunt money and its attempts to influence modern culture.
Cyrus I(ngerson) Scofield, (1843-1921), dispensationalist theologian, was born near Clinton, Michigan into a family of mixed and changing Protestant loyalties. He moved to Lebanon, Tennessee shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War and eventually enlisted and served in the Confederate army.

In 1882 he moved to Dallas, Texas and assumed the pulpit of a tiny Congregational mission church–shortly before officially divorcing his ex-wife in 1883. Over the next several years Scofield was absorbed in his church (the former would grow to over 500 members) and denominational duties (he served as Congregational overseer of home missions in the South and Southwest) and even founded the Central American Mission (CAM) in 1890. During this period he also came under the influence of a Dallas Presbyterian minister who had imbibed the dispensationalist teachings of John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren. In 1888 Scofield wrote his own book about dispensationalism, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, which catapulted him into the ranks of the doctrine’s foremost apologists.
Untermeyer introduced Scofield to numerous Zionist and socialist leaders, including Samuel Gompers, Fiorello LaGuardia, Abraham Straus, Bernard Baruch and Jacob Schiff. These were the people who financed Scofield's research trips to Oxford and arranged the publication and distribution of his concordance.
Scofield directed by Samuel Untermeyer, future president of American Jewish Committee, and funded by Rothschild agents Jacob Schiff and Bernard Baruch.
"As a young con-artist in Kansas after the Civil War, he met up with John J. Ingalls, an aging Jewish lawyer who had been sent to Atchison by the 'Secret Six' some thirty years before to work the Abolitionist cause.
His behind-the-scenes handlers [Untermeyer, Gompers, Baruch, Schiff, etc.] saw to it that his swindles and schemes were swept under the rug and that only a positive image of him was promoted, especially an exaggeration of his Biblical knowledge and wisdom. Men like 33rd degree freemason George Bannerman Dealey owner of the Dallas Morning News and member of Scofield’s church contributed greatly to the cause.
