Notes are just that -- notes. The verses were not changed. It was an attempt to make them clearer (his interpretation), but to say that he changed the meaning, or that God, in the Old Testament, did not ALWAYS promise blessings to those who favored Jews is just incorrect. Anti-semites, or anti-zionists, as you prefer to distinguish, simply are pro-Arab (really pro-muslim), so they must figure out a way around the problem of the Bible being pro-Jewish. The Bible is filled with pro-Jewish words, and Scofield did not insert, or change them. And the prophecies regarding end-times, and the role of Israel, is pretty clear. Before Scofield, those prophecies said nations would rise against the Jews in mass, and God would slaughter them all. Not even a closet-muslim OBOY can change that. "O Israel, I will not forget you. I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you." (Isaiah 44:21-22, Old Testament) "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. But the more I called Israel, the further they went from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images. It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I Who healed them. I led them with cords of human kindness, and with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them." (Hosea 11:1-4, Old Testament) And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. ... On that day, a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. (Zechariah 12:10; 13:1, Old Testament)
