Shadee Elmasry – Ali Ataie EXPOSES How Christians Became Zionists

Traditionally, Christians believed that Christians are now the chosen

people, right that the Jews are no longer the chosen people, for

Christians to support the building of a Third Temple is absolutely

blasphemous because in the New Testament, Jesus is clearly

described as being the new temple, the final temple in Romans six and

Hebrews 10. Paul says that Jesus was the be all end all sacrifices,

the ultimate temple. He's the ultimate high priest, the ultimate

sacrifice. And yet Christian Zionist, they fully support the

Third Temple where sin sacrifices will apparently return one day,

according to Jewish Messianism. So Christian Zionism is it's just

indefensible from a biblical perspective. So what actually

happened here? How did sign ism become so popular among American

Protestants? Well, in 1831, there was this Anglican preacher named

John Nelson Darby, okay, and so he was one of the primary organizers

of a nondenominational Christian movement called the Plymouth

Brethren. So So you know, this is what happens when church tradition

is ignored. So Darby is considered to be the father of something

called Modern dispensationalism. Okay, so what is what is modern

dispensationalism. So this is basically, it's this notion that

there will be a future restoration of the earthly nation of Israel.

But this also includes this idea that the Mosaic Covenant and the

Christic covenant are two valid coexisting covenants, they're both

valid. Okay.

This is also known as Dual Covenant Theology. In other words,

Christians do not need to convert Jews. The Jews already have a

valid covenant Jews are still chosen by God, irrespective of

their belief in Jesus. Okay. So if we just think about the

theological implications of this for Christianity, I mean, this

implies that Christ only came for the Gentiles, not the Jews. That's

the implication that actually directly contradicts the New

Testament Jesus, you know, when he was not sent but unto the lost

sheep of the house of Israel. Right? So you know, instead of,

you know, For God so loved the world, he should have said, for

God's will love the Gentiles, and he gave his only begotten Son

because the Jews don't need him. At least not yet. So So according

to Darby, let's get into his eschatology then, that Christ will

rule the reconstituted, physical, ethnic Jewish state of Israel. So

national Israel will be restored according to Darby. According to

Darby, the Old Testament prophesizes, not so much the

church age, but really the kingdom, the millennium, where

Christ rules the National Jewish state of Israel. And Darby was

also a Dual Covenant dispensationalist. So what does

that mean? Again, this means that the Mosaic Covenant and the

Christic covenant are two valid coexisting covenants, they're both

valid. So when Jesus returns to rule over national Israel, all of

Israel will eventually believe in him. Right, and there's going to

be a reversal he came the first time they almost all rejected him.

When he comes a second time they will all believe in Him. Now, now,

Darby was famous for saying that the Bible must be rightly divided.

This is a very famous phrase from Darby. He actually takes it from

the letters of Paul, but Paul uses it in a different way.

The Bible must be rightly divided. What he meant was, that much of

the New Testament does not actually apply to Christians, but

only to Jews. That Jesus primarily in the synoptic gospels, Matthew,

Mark, and Luke. He's actually teaching the Mosaic Covenant.

Okay, but in John's gospel, as well as through Paul's writings,

Jesus was advancing the Christian covenants. So there's almost like

two gospels. So according according to Darby, Jesus was

teaching both dispensations. Okay, both both covenants are valid side

by side. Now Darby is dispensationalism eventually found

its way across the pond to America. So Pastor James Hall

Brooks, he kind of just fell in love with the Darby with his

teachings, right, don't get the wrong idea. And then Brooks, he

was in St. Louis. And there was an annual Bible conference called the

Niagara Bible conference, and Brooks was often the keynote

speaker. So it was at this conference when Darby and

dispensationalism became more and more popular via James Brooks and

Brooks had a preacher friend named Dwight moody, and moody would

later established the famous Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where

Bible is their middle name, as Bart Ehrman always says, and then

moody also became a

Darby and dispensationalist and then moody befriended a man named

Cyrus Ingvarsson, Schofield. Okay. Now, Scofield was a morally

questionable lawyer and politician. He was accused of

multiple charges of theft, bribery, forgery. He was a

deadbeat husband and father, a self described alcoholic turned

Christian minister. So he became an ordained pastor in Dallas in

1883. Schofield in 1888, he wrote a treatise called rightly dividing

the word of truth, rightly dividing the word of truth. So he

started calling himself CI Scofield di D. That is Doctor of

Divinity although there's no record of him ever graduating from

seminary, so it seemed like he gave himself kind of an honorary

doctorate. Kind of like what Dartmouth College did for Dr.

Seuss. Honorary Doctorate Dr. Seuss wasn't a real doctor CI

Scofield was not a real doctor. In 1909, Scofield wrote his Scofield

Study Bible. This was published by Oxford. So this Bible, the

Scofield Study Bible had a massive, massive impact on

American Protestants and evangelicals. It is no

exaggeration that this Bible turned millions of American

Protestants into Christian Zionist. I mean, it changed a

generation of preachers. His his Bible translation is essentially

the King James translation. But he added all of these strange notes

in his commentary. So in his commentary of Genesis 12, three,

okay, so this is the most infamous one. Okay, so this is God's

promised to Abraham. Okay, so schofields commentary have changed

the game. So basically, God says to Abraham, I will bless those who

bless you and curse those who curse you. So here's what Scofield

wrote. Right, he said, and curse those who curse you wonderfully

fulfilled in the history of the dispersion. It has invariably

fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew. Well with

those who have protected him, the future will still more remarkably

prove this principle. Right. So, so basically, Scofield is applying

this verse to ethnic Jews, contemporary ethnic Jews, that

this that the Jews are still chosen, that anyone who curses

Jews have will be cursed by God. And so after Scofield, it became

ubiquitous among Protestants, that Christians Oh, unconditional,

unquestionable loyalty to the Jewish people, because they never

cease to be chosen. Okay, this is schofields commenter. And so this

doggish Christian loyalty, this this pathetic, almost slavish,

Christian loyalty to ethnic Jews extends to the modern, murderous

state of Israel, because eventually Jesus will rule Israel.

That's Jesus's future kingdom. Right. But as we said, in light of

the New Testament, this is a grave misleading misreading of Genesis

chapter 12. Because Paul actually quotes he actually Paul has a

commentary on Genesis chapter 12. And Paul says, that when it says

Abraham and his seed, his seed is only Jesus, not the Israelites.

But Paul says in Galatians, chapter three, he says, if if you

belong to Christ, then you are the seed of Abraham. This is a

conditional statement in Galatians, three, in other words,

you have to believe in Jesus or else you're no longer chosen.

Right? So according to the New Testament,

the church is the new Israel, the church is a new Zion, right, which

does and can include some ethnic Jews as well. But But belief in

Jesus without is without question, you have to believe in Jesus,

according to the New Testament, okay, The Last Supper.

at the Last Supper, this is this is when the pronouncement and

initiation of the New Covenant covenant occurred. This was on

Mount Zion on Holy Thursday, and then the descent of the Holy

Spirit on the day of Pentecost occurred in the same upper room 50

days later on Mount Zion. So both the establishment of the New

Covenant as well as the proclamation of the New Covenant

happened on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. So you see what the

authors of the New Testament are saying, the Christian Church is

the new Zion. When Thomas Aquinas wrote his hymns praising Zion,

there's a bunch of hymns that Aquinas wrote was praising Zion.

He's praising the Christian church, not not some future

secular Jewish ethno state. Yeah. So how did Scofield actually do

it? So in 2005, Joseph Canfield he wrote a biography

for you about Scofield, it's called the incredible Scofield and

his Bible. So according to Canfield in 1901, Schofield joined

in an exclusive males only secret society, called the Lotus club,

and can feel to jest that someone highly influential within the

club. He thinks it was another lawyer named Samuel Anta Meyer,

basically promoted and financed schofields Bible project. In other

words, schofields had powerful American Zionists bankrolling his

project. Schofield was the textbook definition of what's

known as a useful idiot. Someone who is used by powerful people to

do their bidding, without really understanding the consequences of

his of his actions. So in 1948, when you know, Israel became a

state Darby and dispensationalism, through Schofield exploded even

more in popularity among Western Protestant so Israel has been

restored. You see, just as Darby says. So this further vindicated

dispensationalism. And so the Christian Zionist,

they were saying, you know, we better be nice to Israel, or else

God will curse us. According to Genesis 12. Three, we better we

better be nice to Israel because it is Jesus's future kingdom. Now,

one of schofields students was named Louis Schaeffer. He died in

1952.

And chafer, founded the Dallas Theological Seminary in 1924. So

he was actually the president of Dallas Theological Seminary until

1952, a famous alumnus of DTS is a man named Hal Lindsey, and he's

still alive. In 1973. Lindsey wrote this book that took the

world by storm. It had the power of 30, Harry Potter's, it was

called the Late Great Planet Earth. Okay, millions upon

millions of copies were sold. I mean, it seemed like everyone in

America was reading this book about end times prophecies in the

Bible, through a lens of Darby and dispensationalism. It was even

made into a film was narrated by Orson Welles. So how Lindsay, by

the way, he said in 1979, that Jesus would be turned in 1988.

Because there's a verse in Matthew 24, for Jesus, at least a Matthias

Jesus says, This generation shall not pass away until all these

things are fulfilled, the present generation will live to see it

all. So apparently, Jesus was speaking about this restored

kingdom. So one generation is 40 years right? 1948 the restoration

of national Israel also known as the Nakba, plus 4019 88, right,

so, that never happened.

In 1984, Oxford, put out the new Scofield Study Bible, okay. And

they added this clarifying comment for a nation to commit the sin of

anti semitism brings inevitable judgment.

For a nation to commit the sin of anti semitism brings inevitable

judgments, agita, you know the new, you know, the New Testament

Jesus. He said that the that the the only unforgivable sin was

blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Now, in today's you know, it's

like guys, we're constantly told that any critique of Zionism is

anti semitic. So anti anti Zionism is a form of anti semitism. This

is what we're told. So then, so then Christians who read that note

from Scofield must only conclude that anti Zionism is the

unforgivable sin in the sight of God for a nation to commit the sin

of anti semitism. A form of witches anti Zionism brings

inevitable judgment. Right. And there's a bunch of things that he

says for example, a Scofield

in his commentary of Hosea chapter one, verse 10. This is what he

said. He said, the expression my people on me in Hebrew is used in

the Old Testament exclusively of Israel. Nation. He's just wrong

here. He's demonstrably wrong. Isaiah 1925 is his bow to me

Mitzrayim. Bless it be Egypt, my people. He's just wrong. In his

commentary of Genesis, that Schofield wrote, quote, the

Palestinian covenant gives the conditions under which Israel he's

talking about physical Israel. Enter the promised land, it is

important to see that the nation has never as yet taken the land

under the unconditional Abrahamic covenant, nor has it ever

possessed the whole land. This is just wrong. If you read Joshua

2143 This is what it says. So the Lord gave Israel all the land call

her edits, it says in Hebrew, all the land, he had sworn to their

ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled

there. So Scofield wants us to think that this is still an

outstanding promise.

that God has not yet fulfilled his side of the deal.

Right? It's really amazing. And then he says, To dispositions and

restorations have been accomplished. Israel is now in the

third dispersion, from which she will be restored at the turn of

the Lord as king. So I think Christians need to ask themselves,

they need to ask themselves a very important question. Who are you

going to believe who do you follow Scofield or scripture? Yeah,
