The Schofield Bible Exposed: Zionist Funding, Dispensationalism, and the End Times Deception

For over a century, Christians around the world have read and studied from the Schofield Reference Bible, often unaware of the forces behind its creation and the massive impact it has had on shaping modern Christianity. This Bible, published in 1909 with extensive footnotes by Cyrus Ingerson Schofield, was not simply a work of theology—it was a weaponized tool, deliberately funded and promoted to alter Christian doctrine and push a Zionist agenda that continues to influence churches to this very day.

The Hidden Hand Behind Schofield’s Work

C.I. Schofield was not a towering theologian or a respected church father. In fact, his personal history was riddled with scandal, including accusations of fraud and abandonment of his family. Yet somehow, this obscure man became the mouthpiece for an entirely new system of biblical interpretation: Dispensationalism.

Schofield did not rise to prominence on his own. Wealthy Zionist backers—connected to the Rothschild banking dynasty—funded and promoted his reference Bible. Their goal was clear: reshape Christian thought so that believers would give unwavering support to the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. By embedding his notes directly into the text of Scripture, Schofield’s ideas carried the weight of biblical authority for generations of readers.

The Birth of Dispensationalism

Schofield popularized the doctrine of Dispensationalism, a system that divides human history into different “ages” or “dispensations” in which God deals with mankind in distinct ways. This framework introduced several dangerous distortions of the Gospel:

Christian Zionism: The belief that modern Israel, as a political state, fulfills biblical prophecy and deserves unconditional Christian support.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The teaching that believers will be secretly taken out of the world before the Great Tribulation, sparing them from suffering.

Separation of Israel and the Church: The false idea that God has two distinct plans—one for ethnic Israel and another for the Church—undermining the unity of God’s people in Christ.

These teachings were not held by the early church, nor by the Reformers. They were injected into Christian doctrine through Schofield’s notes and then exported worldwide through Bible colleges, seminaries, and missionary organizations influenced by his work.

The Zionist Agenda in Christianity

By convincing Christians that the modern state of Israel was central to God’s prophetic plan, dispensationalism created an army of unwitting supporters for Zionism. Pastors began teaching that to oppose Israel was to oppose God Himself. Political movements in the United States became entangled with biblical prophecy, leading to foreign policy decisions that favored Zionist expansion.

The Rothschild family, deeply involved in the financing of early Zionist settlement in Palestine, understood that religious manipulation was key. If Christians could be convinced that their duty was to bless Israel at all costs, then political and financial support would flow naturally. The Schofield Bible became the perfect instrument to achieve this goal.

The End Times Deception

Jesus warned repeatedly that in the last days there would be false prophets, false teachers, and great deception (Matthew 24:4-5, 11, 24). Schofield’s dispensational system is a clear example of this. It diverts the believer’s focus away from Christ and His Kingdom, replacing it with political Zionism and speculative prophecy charts.

Instead of preparing the Church to endure tribulation and remain faithful unto death, it lulls many into a false sense of security with the promise of a secret rapture. Instead of seeing the Body of Christ as the true Israel of God (Galatians 3:29), it divides God’s people and elevates unbelieving Israel above the Church.

The result has been catastrophic: millions of Christians deceived, entire denominations compromised, and political leaders manipulated into supporting a Rothschild-driven global agenda under the guise of “Bible prophecy.”

Returning to Biblical Truth

The Bible itself dismantles dispensationalism:

One People of God: “There is neither Jew nor Greek… for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).

The True Israel: “If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

Warning Against Deception: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3).

We must reject the man-made notes of Schofield and return to the pure Word of God. True prophecy points to Jesus Christ, His reign, and His coming judgment—not to political Zionism, Rothschild banking schemes, or the rebuilding of a physical temple.

The Schofield Bible was never a neutral commentary. It was a Zionist-funded operation designed to alter Christian belief and align it with the Rothschild agenda. Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism are not biblical—they are part of the end times deception that Scripture warns us about.

Christians must wake up, test every teaching against Scripture, and stand firm in the truth. The real Israel is not a political state—it is the Body of Christ, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
