This is why I have been extremely suspicious of the origins of Calvinism, though I have proof of nothing. All I have is that its rise and development correlates with proto-Zionist tendencies developing in Christianity and the impact it had on countries like the Netherlands, who had a large Sephardic Jewish presence, and the Puritans of the English Commonwealth calling themselves the Sanhedrin and admitting the Jews back into England.
You don't really see these currents about the necessity for the Jews to reassemble in Palestine until the 17th century which tracks with the calcification of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of Calvinism.
That 20th century Scofield Bible Zionism follows a similar pattern of the kind of prophecies that justified getting the Jews back into Palestine is deeply suspicious to me but admittedly I have no smoking guns, just historical coincidences
