When John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), said that “50 million evangelical bible-believing Christians unite with five million American Jews standing together on behalf of Israel,” it was the Scofield Bible that he was talking about.
Although the Scofield Reference Bible contains the text of the King James Authorized Version, it is not the traditional Protestant bible but Cyrus I.

What is Scofield Bible?The Scofield Reference Bible is a widely circulated study Bible. Edited and annotated by the American Bible student Cyrus I. Scofield, it popularized dispensationalism at the beginning of the 20th century. The Scofield Bible significantly influenced the Christian Zionist movement. The 1967 revision of the Scofield Bible has been noted for spreading anti-Arab sentiment among the Christian evangelical movement. Referring to Scofield's interpretation of Genesis 12:3 ('I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee [Israel]'), John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), argues 'The man or nation that lifts a voice or hand against Israel invites the wrath of God.'
What is Zionism?Zionism is a political movement that supports the self-determination and homeland for Jewish people in Israel. Zionists advocate for the existence and continuation of Israel, but is used by Israel's settler movement to justify expansion and occupation into internationally recognized Palestinian lands. The 'Greater Israel' project is a frequently contentious, right-wing Zionist project linked to settlement expansion and greater land annexation concepts for a Jewish state. The project may include the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea (including the West Bank and Gaza) to biblical, larger borders stretching from the River Nile to the Euphrates. Jewish, Christian and Muslim Zionists are those Jews, Christians and Muslims who support Israel in its objectives in the 'Greater Israel' project.
What is an Angel?An angel is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies.

Within Abrahamic religions, angels are often organized into hierarchies, although such rankings may vary between sects in each religion, and are given specific names or titles, such as Gabriel or 'Destroying angel'.
