Someone told me those teachers over at SkyWatch TV, namely Derek Gilbert, claimed that the Rothschilds had nothing to do with the formation of Israel. I have several proofs that tells that he is wrong. In this episode we recite the petitions of the Rothschild family for a separate nation for Jewish people in Palestine and the policies that went towards making it happen. We also tell where Christian doctrine of Pretribulation Rapture and 7 year tribulation comes from.
Listen to “Rothschild Israel and the Petition for the Jewish State” on Spreaker.
In Response to Gilbert, here is a document of the rumor that the Rothschilds personally purchased Jerusalem from the Sultan and acquired financing the land for the foundation of what would later be portioned for the homeland of Jewish people for the Zionist organization.
The Rothschilds began to openly espouse the Israeli cause in the second half of the nineteenth century, after 1850. They had the full support of the British Empire, which was a superpower at the time. After the death of their head, Mr. James, the Rothschilds took over the family business and started working for the establishment of Israel. Edmond Rothschild played a crucial role in Jewish settlement in Palestine, financing the establishment of a ghetto called Rishon Lezion in 1882 and helping establish Tel Aviv in 1909.
Tel Aviv, the major economic center of Israel, is also the de facto capital of Israel, with embassies in countries that do not recognize Jerusalem as the Jewish capital. Edmond Rothschild continued to fund Jewish settlements in Palestine for several decades, with 28 ghettos funded by him by 1933. A main street in Tel Aviv is named Rothschild Boulevard, and several other streets are named after Rothschilds.
Arthur Balfour gave a promise to the Rothschilds that the British government stood behind the action to make a way for the Rothschilds and Zionists to acquire the land in Palestine for the Jewish people. This was in the Balfour Declaration.
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from Arthur Balfour, the British foreign secretary, to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917.
Theodor Herzl founder of the Zionist Organization along with the Rothschilds got behind a petition to declare independent land for the Jewish people. Below is the Basel Program declaring land in Palestine for the Zionists.
Drafting Dispensationalism Theology
The Round Table group members included Arthur Balfour and Lord Rothschild, which supported the petition for the Zionist movement. They employed a crafty shifty lawyer named CI Scofield to devise a doctrine to get Christians on the board of supporting this cause for a national State of Israel using the Bible and doctrine drafted from the influence of John Darby.
Scofield had embezzled money and had affairs that led to divorcing his wife. Yet this was the kind of man worthy of Rothschild propaganda. They sprung him and financed him to lead this case to develop a doctrine for the soon to come political national State called Israel.
Out of nowhere, he became a prominent preacher and author, funded by powerful Zionist elites. By 1880, Scofield became the pastor of the Hyde Park Congregational Church in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1883, Scofield abandoned his wife and two daughters. She divorced him in 1883 on grounds of desertion.
Scofield then moved to Dallas (ordained in October 1883) to lead a small mission church, which grew into the First Congregational Church of Dallas. Others helped elevate Scofield, get him published by Oxford University Press, and get his footnotes into seminaries and churches.
Why would Jewish Zionists support a Christian preacher? Because they needed Christian support to build a political homeland in Palestine. And Scofield gave them the theological blueprint to make it happen.
This was done through a doctrine for Dispensation Theology. It gave a case by piecing together unrelated passages of the Bible and stringing together correlation in footnotes to propagate this doctrinal interpretation. Scofield privy to the coming State of Israel would seem plausible by the development that came years later. Modern pastors are taught in seminaries this propaganda to reconstruct the case of Israel being the promise of God in the Bible and fulfillment of prophecy for end times leading to a 7 year tribulation interpreted from Daniel 9 out of the complete 70 weeks (Seventy 7 year periods). Scofield argued a gap from the 69th to 70th week was let alone for the church, in which was a hiccup to get to the remaining 7 years to continue God’s work with the Jews independent of the church. This is diepsensationalism. Israel is the focus of this doctrine leading to all the rest of the story in Revelation and finishing the abomination of desolation of Daniel 9.
In it also rises a character described as The Antichrist which would lead this cause, make a contract with Israel (Dan 9:27) and torment Christians. However Christians would escape via a Rapture even before the appointment of Antichrist to end the church age and continue focusing on Israel. The church needed to get out of the way so God could continue his original plan. In Revelation where John was told, “Come up hither” is supposed to hint that the church is beamed up. But later in the passages He remains, so this is subjective fallacy and naive interpretation.
However, the whole doctrine was predicated on the foundation of the State of Israel as the description of the ripe fig leaf mentioned by Jesus, as well as the time-frame given to a countdown of a generation when Jesus said in Matthew 24 “In THIS generation.” A biblical generation of 40 years expected to last until 1988. Thus the whole Pretribulation Rapture, plus the end time of Antichrist was supposed to happen within that time period.
After 1988 when it didn’t scholars scrambled for another explanation. Oh, merely move the goalpost. A GENERATION was reinterpreted as a modern day 70 year period (which is a lifetime, not a generation). That would lead us to this all fulfilling by 2018 (70 years measured from the countdown from 1948). I think I was one of the only ones waiting for 2018 to pass so I can make a case of this wrong interpretation. After 2019 without incident means that either God lied, or the interpretation was false. I accept the latter. The doctrine falls on its face from just this one point. But if we were to take all the other points in account, we would see if fails on numerous counts.
Those who claim they interpret the Bible end times by themselves concluding all this have deceived themselves thinking they weren’t influenced by the doctrine. They have been INDOCTRINATED without realizing. They could not have made the 69 to 70 gap interpretation on their own without prompting. They could not consider a 7 year tribulation without someone pointing them to references to infer it. They could not consider The Antichrist analogy without influence of the teachings (The Antichrist does not appear as a title anywhere in scripture) and making hyperbole fit the doctrine. They would not even be able to conclude that Christians would be beamed up in a Rapture prior to this if not given a foundation to subject that.
My conclusion
To summarize, I am not an anti-Jew (besides the fact that “Antisemitism” is a made up word and doesn’t mean anything). Its just that if a Jew wants to be saved, he, like the early Jews and gentiles, must receive the gospel and believe in Jesus Christ (Messiah). No separate gospel exists for them that wasn’t already given by Jesus. John 1 tells it all that Jesus came to his own and his own did not receive him, therefore he gave the right to ALL who come to him to be the children of God, not due to bloodline. Jews cannot be saved if they do not come to Jesus. Israel is a national State, not a land in which those who occupy would be saved. The Israel of God is not a real estate in the Middle East. All of Israel will be saved, because Israel are the people of God who will be saved, both Jew and Gentile (Rom 11). The Jew is not a Jew outwardly, but one inwardly. Everyone who believes in Jesus is of this. Not everyone IN Israel are OF Israel. The land in Palestine is not the true Israel, it is a counterfeit.
