The theology of the Scofield Bible is deceptive

A rabbit hole that connects the Scofield Bible to a web of historical moments and powerful players.

The Rothschild family, leveraging their wealth and influence, funded and promoted a Bible that redefined Christianity with a focus on Israel, all while controlling its spread through Oxford University Press.

This version of events sees the Scofield Bible as more than a religious text—it’s a piece of a larger puzzle, linking banking, politics, and faith in the early 1900s. Whether viewed as a compelling theory or a bold reinterpretation, it invites curiosity about how ideas take hold and who might be steering the ship.

They trace its origins to John Darby, a wealthy and influential preacher who developed the doctrine of the "secret rapture" or "pre-tribulation rapture," which suggests that Christians will be taken to heaven before a period of tribulation on Earth.

An alleged connection between Darby and the Rothschild family, implying some form of influence or conspiracy.

C.I. Scofield, a follower of Darby, incorporated this doctrine into the Scofield Reference Bible, the first Bible to include study notes alongside the text.

This version became widely popular among Christians and ministers, shaping their beliefs for years. However, upon closer examination of the Bible’s text, the events leading to Jesus’ return (the rapture) contradict Darby’s teachings. The Scofield Bible’s influence has had significant effects on U.S. foreign policy and domestic politics, it may have been a deliberate reinterpretation of scripture.
