America, Syria, Iran, Russia; and Two Cutting-Edge Interviews

From the question about Syria wrong. Russia and America to the war on gender.

We get all coming your way today, right here stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown, one of the dust settle a little bit before talking at length about what's happening in Syria.

American involvement threats from Russia, Iran, are we on the edge of a precipitous war of World War III provocation or something war between the superpowers is his prophecy being fulfilled scripture about destruction of Damascus all these questions swirling some religious, some just worldly secular, but the dust is not settling the dust is getting dusty or swing away am gonna talk about this from a whole bunch of different angles.

Welcome to the line of fire. This is Michael Brown medical 866-34-TRUTH 7884.

Let me pose a few questions for you this good thing Pres. Tromp bombing Syria same crust thought you crossed the line.

Bashar saw you crossed the line. Pres. Obama said there was a redline you crossed that he did nothing when you cross to give all I'm doing something because I'm not Barack Obama I'm strong and were bombing this airfield to make it more difficult for you to launch another mission like this. The good thing show strength or was it premature because we don't we don't even know for sure who who's responsible for the attacks. Yes we say we have Intel for sure blaming Syria the leadership of this it was rebels behind others. We reclaim some conspiracy with Russia and trying to draw American General blame Islamic radicals whenever so to even know for sure.

And then as horrific as it is as as galling and painful and unspeakable as it is to see people dying of apparent siren poisoning and to see her father holding his two twins is 20 babies in his arms that died it as appalling as it is always post involved their atrocities taking place in different parts of the world on a regular basis.

A book around some of the things they've done in Nigeria have have been absolutely horrific coming setting on fire the school with children inside of it in the boys school in the kidnapping girls and in all the horrors atrocities there committing when we get involved. There may not be chemical weapons.

But when we start bombing them. I mean, when do we get involved when do we not get involved and then then a further question further question get involved in Syria.

What are you doing who you helping. There are some who say as bad as a sod as he protects the Christians just like Saddam Hussein protected the Christians in Iraq and when you get rid of the bad guys like Hussein and an assault when you get rid of those guys then it opens up a hellish attack on the Christians and others in the suffering only increases that destabilizes the region, so these dictators are bad, but what's worse is to get rid of them never vacuum powered.

That's when Isis rises up, or do we just concentrate on take out Isis and leave the other Syrian rebels stood to fight with a saw the sub of the Syrian rebels and let them determine whether going, but then rushes involved in Iran helps fund Syrian terror Syrian rebels and wit which way is it going the supporting a solid understanding with whom I mean always. All these questions be forced we just jump in and what's the role of American way does America have a role be in the world's policeman, and when no one else acts we act with that of the writer and the Holocaust. The others did not, that we act.

We have an excuse not to because others didn't. These are fair questions. I have some responses and others. I have questions that drive us to prayer. Three. Think good thing or bad thing that we bomb Syria and end was interesting as some of the staunchest supporters of Donald Trump the and coulters of the world there really upsetting states that out long enough stay out using my support with this. Stay out your best to sorts out what you think we get involved in. Not when Atrocities Taking Pl. outside of Americans at Park Place, intervene, 866-34-TRUTH for cleansing. It's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown is such such as now being sworn in as our ninth Supreme Court Justice to make up for the death of Justice Scalia will talk about that a little later in the broadcast. And if you somehow missed the news yesterday. Isis is taking responsibility for two terror attacks on Coptic churches in Egypt, many, many killed its appalling you can actually watch the video where there is a suicide bomber and in order to get into that building.

You want to go through metal detector and he walks in there. That's when he detonates. The next thing see the explosion and then inside another church a terrible explosion. We posted on on Facebook a link to Jihad watch.org with a had footage from within the building. Moments after the explosion blood everywhere bodies of people at the it's it's horrific. The building torn up Isis taking responsibility for this on what Christians celebrate as Palm Sunday. Yes, yesterday Palm Sunday celebrated by Christians around the world and a Coptic Christian from Egypt contacted me on Facebook. The Lincoln message at it. It's just horrific. And I said is that the government not doing enough it and he said, but the government is trying hard.

It's overwhelming. And this is just something that Islamic terrorist do at this time of the year that the Christians attack them. I think he he linked 11 attacks these times of the year in the last few years.

Give me reference to those of us so we want to pray for our brothers and sisters who are suffering and again when we get involved with a country like Syria. We want to ask all the questions we want to ask all the questions like what long-term results will our actions have if we going to Syria. If we are successful in taking out a saw Secretary of State to lucid talking about. Yes, regime change, and now now trying to clarify more with the long-term goals are in Syria over over the week and some claim confusion within the Tromp administration. I think a lot of things are just happening quickly and again take a little time to sort out but for sure for sure if were going to go in with a coalition of other countries and do what we did in Iraq and remove a saw and then seek to raise up a democratic leadership first is the country ready for a democratic leadership does the country have the capability of carrying out a democracy does the country really want. That is a sustainable and that culture, if you think, for example, someone like Mark who the boss elected by the Palestinian people to govern so-called West Bank, Judea, Samaria to cover their as the Palestinian Authority leader. How long was he elective or was it four years.

How long has he been in office for that. Another vote yeah that's what happens there is the joke about democracies in Africa as as countries were moving towards democracy that someone get elected and they just stay in because they were used to these dictators and and folks that just took over and that's how they operated so that the said joke was one person one vote one time everybody gets to vote once. Once the guys in power. They stay in power for decades. So what would actually happen if we help remove us and this is different now than a rock because of Russia's active involvement.

Many would say because of the void of American involvement under the Obama administration that gave room for Russia to get involved.

Others would say why do we have to be the ones involved all the time at what the Obama administration did was good and player, there's a lot of debate about all these issues there others are saying hey look at this, look at this that this policy and in the way the Tromp administration is going. It's not being directed by the Steve Bannon's of this world who were strategic strong conservatives right wing who were who were strategic in getting Tromp elected know it's it's Jared and Yvonne Kushner and and they are the ones who are pushing this and they are more moderate and more centrist and even more Democrat nearly 7 this is the talk of what's going on and that's what's pushing of that the Tromp administration. God knows God knows but with rushes involved with Syria.

There's no way that we could just go in and take out a solid without massive massive repercussions. So that the bigger questions are do we get involved long-term in Syria. If so, on what level, if so with what goals and and then the, the general question the general question is this. At what point do we get involved in other countries, struggles, 8663 for 87884 is number to call. I did a Twitter poll as I often do when I've got questions to ask. One was which are take on Tromp's bombing of Syria which are take on Tromp's bombing of Syria and out of the 467 votes, we, God therefore options good show strength unneeded meddling acted too soon, or other couldn't think of a good fourth choice that would be different.

Hence, other to give people that option. Good show strength was the winner with our Twitter poll, 55% of the people's as good show strength 11% sin unneeded meddling. 16% said active too soon 18% said other then I asked another question below. If you haven't read my article which was posted on Friday for the road Thursday night that I had to revise it, just add a line or two because we we bomb Syria. We hadn't bound them at that point so I have it revise just one little part of it and and then I sent it out to be posted and it's on the website. If you go to the line of fire.org and check out latest articles you see it.

Should we take out a saw. So we run around top of these things friends. We are your voice of all cultural and spiritual revolution. Also in your Atlanta fire. Check out my newest videos a new way to get accepted to Stanford yet. This is an eye-opener. And is it right to pray to Jesus or do we only pray to the father. Is it all the same. So those are on a digital library latest articles, latest videos on the website. Here's the other question I asked on Twitter when Atrocities Are Taking Pl. outside of America is at our place to intervene 50%. Of course, 13%, not our business.

21% only with a coalition 16% only if it's close our 50% said of course the other 50% divided between not our business. But that was the smallest response next smallest only if it's a close ally and then over the coalition, which means 66% Peter said of course are only for its close our 71% said of course or only with a coalition.

Only 13% said not our business. Here's my take is my personal opinion.

You can weigh in with yours if you want to differ with me or add or take away from my position. 866-34-TRUTH 7884. My feeling is that in the last we had absolutely certain intelligence that it was the Asad regime involved that we had no business bombing. That's the first thing I think that self-evident.

Do I trust our intelligence system with all respect to intelligence officers with all respect to the massive, massive work that is done and even the dangerous work that's done by intelligence officials and servants around the globe with all respect to that I I do not have deep confidence in our intelligence. Right now because it's so politicized big because there seems to be such divisions between the different organizations because some seem to be out to get trumpet and others may be used to advance the Tromp agenda. We we don't know if it's just, impartial information now. I've read reports websites are accessing Arabic sources that say look, the day before the day before the chemical taxes night before their Arab sources resources in Arabic saying tomorrow get ready to announce this. This chemical weapons attack overlords tomorrow since it happened and and everyone's gonna blame the Asad regime for but actually it's rebels were behind other say it was it was a rebel facility that was was bombed and that's what happened that that that it was an inadvertent attack and those I did know there is nerve gases can affect others at I don't know okay I I lean towards assuming that we had sufficient intelligence, but I'm not sure what's interesting is that there's a lot of liberals support for what Tromp did okay. Turkestan needed to do it so number one. The only way we should've acted as if we had absolutely proven that the Asad regime is behind you, but I have some caveats after this will be like file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown back is an intro by the way next segment. I'm going to be speaking with Brian chemic or from mass resistance I'm holding in my hands.

You two hands is a big book it is oh 600 pages. Yet, 600 pages just about five, 98, with lots of endnotes and speak it's it's physically a big book, the health hazards of homosexuality with the medical and psychological research reveals what write a book on it what to call the time to compile. This is and his homophobic, hateful talk with Brian little bit later in the broadcast. And then the second hour schedule to speak with one of the most widely read bloggers Christian bloggers bloggers of any kind on the Internet. Matt Walsh is got a new book. We'll talk about that as well. More to say about just to score such and as well the question of is prophecy being fulfilled in the Middle East. 866-34-TRUTH three beacon.com Andrew Koebel reports Democrats praise Tromp on Syria military action Democrats have offered their support and praise for Pres. Donald Trump after you order the military strike against the Syrian air base Thursday night. Isn't that interesting comes decision was met with praise by his opponents across the aisle sending Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer released a statement that apply to transactions as the right thing to do and that's interesting. I think Trump does not get any praise from Chuck Schumer from the Democrats in general.

So why did this draw such praise from his critics, Michael Savage.

This was a complete false flag event.

False flag event meaning something that happened that gives a false impression about guilt, about responsibility, producing the desired reaction to it. Michael Savage was a Trump supporter set Asad had nothing to gain by guessing his own people, not in my article can be read on the line of fire.org should we get rid of a saw the the ocean we take out Asad in point of fact Ron Paul for Congressman Ron Paul made the statement that that there's no way there's no way Asad would do this. He's been he's been gaining ground, driving back Isis he's been retaking territory. Why would gas his own people in the midst of this trip to what strategic advantage and into an international advantage. When this is gonna be outcry over a Savage believes the symptoms witnessed in Syria are consistent with the phosgene gas necessary. Guess why the reported he stated the West jump to conclusion later and we just helped Isis.

All right, so number one. My own view. We should've only acted if we had concrete intelligence that Asad used chemical weapons on his own people. That's number one. And from here. From my vantage point you on a radio host judge research. I have sources people get information, but you think I know more than the American intelligence. I know more than the people reporting on the ground in Syria at any of us know. Moreover, your know so we are we looking at the evidence were sorting it out were sifting were trying to evaluate and we don't know for sure alright so I'm not convinced that our intelligence was sufficient and and again I that what Ron Paul sent Michael Savage to say what others have said.

I don't understand why Asaba do the city's murderous gaze murderous but is also sly Fox. This is murderous yes is dictator yes he's committed atrocities. Yes, he deserves divine judgment yes to all of that and in may be may be Syria would be better without him. I only say maybe because all depends on who is replaced by if you could get the right leader. If you had someone who perhaps like like general LCC in Egypt who seems to want to do the right thing to combat radical Islam and seems to have the support of his people and and even even my my Coptic Christian friend on Facebook felt that the government is trying to protect the Coptic Christians of men which is not doing enough. But he feels that there against overwhelming odds, and they are trying all depends on who the leader would be who the leader would be taking over Syria, or if there would be a single leader of the nation would just fall onto to complete chaos and anarchy. That's why there's always a question what happens. Remove the dictator and some say look this just a move to get rid of all the people Russia put in place years ago in a Qaddafi in Libya and Hussein in Iraq and Assad is his father.

Now the sun and seriousness that one viewer dismisses all of us fight against Russia.

These are complex issues. So in my opinion, if we had certain Intel that the Asad government was responsible for the attacks. Then I believe it would be right to do what we did, but only that, in other words, we sent a warning and we said, I don't care if you're supported by Russia or whoever you cross the line here and you've crossed it for the world to see and there can be consequences if you do this again. However, I don't believe we can do anything beyond a strike like this because one we have the larger question of what will this provoke with Russia secondarily with Iran. That's also threatening us right, but the one view is that we didn't do anything against Syria before against us because we didn't want to provoke Iran in the midst of the nuclear negotiations was of course were yes Trump's right of the worst deals ever seen so on the one hand, we don't care about Iran's much is Russia, but we understand their powerhouses and and do we want to unnecessarily provoke note let's be cautious it's it's horrific to see what happened in Syria.

There a lot of horrible things happening all the time and Nancy and I were talking about this over the weekend and on Saturday. Why is this atrocity that much worse than say people speed starve to death or people being tortured to death. Though it's because it's weapon the best discussion. I know it crosses a certain line, but what about all the other lines of atrocities have been crossed for years and years and years and years all around the world. So if forgetting to get involved. I believe that it has to be with the support of Congress. It has to be with international coalition and it has to be with a better plan than we had for Syria. Yet tall order. Tall order, and in even then it's best to try to negotiate with Russia rather than just to say okay we are sure strength. You show your strength because in the gonna be a whole lot of casualties a whole lot of casualties, so the strike if we had certain Intel that makes sense to me just to send a signal. But beyond that better act slowly and cautiously, especially when so many hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost so many millions have been displaced.

Let's act wisely as we go forward and pray pray for the gospel to continue to spread through Syria because many Muslims are coming to faith and pray for God's grace on the suffering Christian communities there and elsewhere in the Middle East. Hey friends, make sure you go to the line of fire.org stand with us as a partner stand with us is a torchbearer so back into you and way that will impact your life as well. Together friends were making a difference right in front it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown on national national issues to people issues to one of the great controversies in our society today, namely how do we deal with the question of LGBT activism. Isn't this simply a matter of equal rights.

Isn't this simply a matter of treating everyone with respect.

Isn't this just the same as what we had to overcome, say, with days in America will we would not allow interracial marriage and we were bigoted and biased against people in and we were pro-segregation are proslavery and we overcame those biases and we celebrate diversity is not the same with homosexual men and women should we just respect their lives. Respect their marriages respect their families. After all, some, your best friends identify as LGBT. Some young kids identifies LGBT semi favorite celebrities identifies LGBT some of the nicest couples you've ever met some your best coworkers identifies LGBT art we being bigoted, biased, homophobic trance phobic to stand against their rights to oppose inequality isn't wrong especially for people of faith.

To do this while I'm going to speak now with Brian Cavender and Brian leads mass resistance began in 1995 is Massachusetts and Massachusetts.

His parents rights coalition mass resistance that has been spreading to other states and even other nations and they have now put out as a large reference book the health hazard hazards of homosexuality. What the medical and psychological research reveals Brian welcome back to the line of fire. Thanks so much for joining us great to be here forever. The Brian you get attacked maligned mass resistance, hated, rejected by many, and you couldn't have picked a more controversial subject than this one is a lot of research that went into it. It's expensive to produce a book like this. Why in the world get even more controversial and put out something that's going to even draw more hatred towards you and mass resistance will work. I think your older you're really doing a public service to our people on all sides of the political divide when you basically say here's the truth it's been kept from what this book shows is not it's not opinion. It's part if it's your notes taken from the euro Centers for Disease Control overview of the major medical websites, medical societies, even the LGBT medical groups and and you know I think it part of the legitimate conversation has to be legitimate facts about what were talking about and you know if there is a euro behaved all of course all comes from, you know, certain political basically the radical LGBT movement doesn't want the public to know about this but you know nevertheless remain here in Massachusetts and other states. The state budget for you know funding for LGBT related diseases and behaviors is going up and up and up every year.

The whole issue of gay domestic violence has its own budget item in the Massachusetts budget and so I think for that reason to is legitimate to talk about this and of course you don't.

You talk about hate groups.

We all know that every single programmer group international programmer group in the country's place so you can go with that occasionally so that I send you come back she told to sign Kenneth's website. Mass resistance.org the health hazards of homosexuality and the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown throughout America the new book published by mass resistance the health hazards of homosexuality, Brian, I want to address some larger issues in terms of what mass resistance is doing around the country as well because there significant things taking place is parents stand up and and and fight back.

In terms of for what they believe is is right but just for the sake of our listeners so they understand.

Brian you you are you are Jewish or not a Christian and yet you're working with folks, people of faith, people of non-faith because issues are coming our way that we really can't avoid in our children schools and and ATV and as you type a public budget. Things like this, so this is not an exclusively conservative Christian issue is well requested. Most of the people that we work with our our people. I got the dream. What happens related.

If you haven't been once you get involved with the fish.

You tend to become one just because of the whole meters is a real spiritual battle and people who were never really very godly unit of all this for a while and you beat your you. You have nowhere else to turn but that's a whole, but in all different program, but you don't have to take this from a religious perspective to see the danger of the trouble. The issues involved, committed in the public schools.

The promotion of just blatantly ill back are unhealthy destructive behaviors to kids and some of these kids are your very young kids elementary school kids is just ghastly parents either send you don't have to be religious to be very angry and very upset it's it's it's done secretly parents who question it. Are you know treated very harshly.

There know they're intimidated or harassed or called names so this this is become a big battle and it gets it doesn't have to be religious but it's about and again. It's something that that came our way rather than something we went looking for so how did mass resistance begin what what was it that provoke you to get involved well back in 1990 the late 1992 are some friends of friends meeting at someone's house and somebody showed me a copy of the elementary school teachers guide for their sex ed thing and I haven't child elementary school and I will do this thing and it was horrible. I made it her always very explicit homosexual stuff, things that I've never seen and I went to school committee member and arsenal of articles� What parents want and we went to the our dinner we went we were to superintended and he said well if you don't like it. Send your kids to a religious school is lower during the story went through the school committee and I? You are you doing this and I started reading it in their November very nastiness of your three minutes are up, you know, if you don't leave right now or you'll stop it or to have your rusted was completely inappropriate for what I was asking and cement at the summit elementary school. Writing only recently curriculum contained stuff you hadn't seen you meant as an adult.

This is, that was a failure to remunerate their roses ridiculous stop and and and then the school committee members weren't, you know, III was interviewed in the newspaper and the school committees spread all the stories about me, among other things. I said that I was a Christian fundamentalist witness noted that are secured and also the the Gary activists in Boston.

Now this was a suburb of Boston, but in Boston started getting involved with this and it was regularly was completely out of proportion to, you know, anything that was going on now had the school committee just simply said all this is this which Brad will look into it and and just really got nothing I would've said okay fine the way to hear of your something in general just walk my way. They they took this very hostile approach and and I noticed they were doing it to other parents to and solely regarding falsely yearly for the parents group and one thing led to another, we became a statewide group and what one of the interesting things as we wanted to win one of the school committee to allow parents to be notified if this is being taught and they absolutely refuse to sit know what I can do that so we went to the state legislature in after two year battle.

We got the state legislature to pass a state law allowing that and and through just the force of angry parents is still a lot Massachusetts and in just one thing led to another, to became justice. This large group became statewide and is now national and even international and and as I said the schools been reasonable.

I never really probably got involved that much but but they they want to hear. They were completely and reasonably attacked me personally and I did that the other parents do not just make an edge. This is what we see across the country.

They, you know, they're very aggressive against anyone, parents, or otherwise, who look at others who want question and people just have enough and you know giving to this book is a 600 page book is huge. It took three years to write. We worked here we work with a lot of medical people and you know the the underneath this veneer of respectability is really a terrible nightmare of problems surrounding LGBT behavior in order to receive the gay pride parade. You can certainly see that something is wrong but normal adults don't do those things are carry-on that way unit with the BDSM in the runaround. They get involved that weird stuff and then generally everything are talking about the diseases of the money necessary for and so this is a big problem and and to promote this with kids in the public schools. Is there something really wrong here, and this information is being basically withheld from the public or maybe not withheld but certainly depressed from from being made public. And so this is why we came out with this book.

So it's all it's it's all the same concern. It's all flowing out of the same issues that there's been larger issues. So Brian, are you in and allow me to play the devils advocate here for a moment.

Are you denying that there are gay people who love each other, or that their gay couples committed to each other or are you saying that that all gay couples are just like what you see in the gay pride pervaded parades and that's that's the norm or are you not recognizing any love or commitment in the midst of these recently sent this matter how loving and committed they are. This still unhealthy. The latter I made the what the research show� You know even bigger research even even the research on the Gary site is that the the the relationships are innately unhealthy on a number of levels.

There's a ghetto much hired your level of domestic violence all kinds of psychological issues, all kinds of futile pathologies are cards of addictions involved and that the euro that the notice discloses more of an addictive kind of thing now, we don't we don't get into doing love each other not love each other. I may not start something beyond me that the book doesn't address what were dealing with is the health issues of that that behavior and is now everything right. It would be a simple matter of it doesn't matter why someone smokes cigarettes smoking cigarettes is unhealthy and therefore you don't promote cigarette smoking to children writing something that that simple of the person that that is drinking heavily may be a very nice person but it's dangerous to drink and drive, and it's unhealthy to drink heavily as a lifestyle. So again, this is simply friends what the book says the health hazards of homosexuality with the medical and psychological research revealed so we come back we can make this kid friendly. I know many of you listen with your kids get to talk about problems results as opposed to the details of certain acts and behavior. But how dangerous is this. We have warnings on packages of cigarettes post calories with meals. How serious is this the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 8663 here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Thanks much for joining us on the voice of the fourth your voice of society and spiritual clarity enjoyed by Brian chemical, who directs mass resistance. The website mass resistance.org reporting there is disturbing but is necessary to read. It's like a bad weather report that's coming your way well it's coming. You need to deal with it in different chapters have been raised up in states like Texas where parents educated others are standing up say Haywood we have an issue with this agenda coming in our schools. We have an issue with these things being forced on our young people.

We have an issue with the lack of balance and presentation lack of honesty and presentation with stand up against this activist agenda and they're making a difference. Mass resistance is even helping other countries dealing with the same activism and end Brian, it's never that the question that you're dealing with this never should you treat your gay neighbor with kindness and respect. Should you get along well with your gay coworker if your kid comes out as gay. Should you should you be kind to kid those are never the questions you're dealing with your dealing with an aggressive activist agenda that basically says were coming out of the closet and were putting all resistance and dissent in the closet. So again folks to get the full documentation 600 pages. The health hazards of homosexuality with the medical and psychological research reveals. And that's what it is going point for point in various aspects of what would be more common in homosexual circles and LGBT circles than heterosexual circles with the health risks are.

So again, Brian just. Without getting into details of specific acts and actions. Let's talk about some of the larger health risks that are faced by those in the LGBT community. We can talk about from substance abuse to physical problems.

We can talk about psychological issues, especially with transgender split diving and give whatever examples you like well you're obviously related HIV your sorry and failure to curb it, you know, things like that. We work with the wheel.

Some of the things of the book talks about is the larger public health issue a long list of diseases you know not only HIV but but but so many others you know the STDs. The innovative all the various diseases that are involved psychological issues, depression, pathologies, anxiety, suicidal product, substance abuse, partner abuse, the shortened shortened lifespans.

Chronic conditions, lower quality of life. The various normalcy of behaviors like BDSM your sexual sadomasochistic is is a normalized behavior and in that community are seated every day pride. The dangerous sexual practices. You know how HIV's and other STDs are reemerging as an epidemic. The psychological and medical issues of transgender is a hero and envy the lies about the so-called safer sex. The false optimism of the drug treatments. You know, one of one of the things that that's interesting is if you pick up a Catholic newspaper you see ads of I don't know various Catholic kind of thing to pick up the Jewish newspaper. You see, you know, various pads of Jewish things. If you think of any gay newspaper, a preponderance of our of you know psychological treatments. You know therapy sessions you know you have huge full-page ads or of drug companies, all kinds of your experimental drug treatments things like that.

It is overwhelming in those kinds of publications.

If you know it. If these gay youth events that they have in Boston and other places. A major theme is get tested to have all this get tested for kids as young as 13.

Literature handed out unit tested for for HIV and other STDs, and that the adult things they not only have the get tested thing, but the partner abuse literature that there is a problem here is very troubling and this needs to be explored by the public. So that's what this book does is it is it goes into all of these things, and as I said, it is from the Centers for Disease Control, the American Medical Association, although the American psychological Association.

The various gay medical associations that are surprisingly honest about you know these these kinds of issues and I think that is something that people need to know about because when kids are told in the public schools that this is a normal behavior and you should feel you know comfortable about engaging in it that they don't tell you the other part they'll tell you. You just as when they say well maybe you're really transgender. Maybe because you think you're a girl that you should take these puberty blocking drugs or something like that. They don't tell you that it it causes lifetime sterility and that it it's you are causing often in that it does all of these horrible things to your body that they don't tell you about that virtually another some of that in the book to. But most of it.

As I said is here is what happens when you do these kinds of activities or hear the kinds of activities that are now very very prevalent in that community. So if if so, I'll tell you it's very overwhelming in and again what's interesting and as a visiting rate articles from gay activists saying that you can't blame the higher percentages of substance abuse and depression and things like that.

You can't blame them on a homophobic society is a lot of it has to do with gay lifestyle relationships. Things like that and in addition to it, even if you take all that away because God made man to be with women and women to be with men when we deviate from that norm and engage in things that he didn't intend the body was made for that. That's what you see at a greater percentage of sexually transmitted diseases and then what's even more disturbing as you see it, especially among young man men even under troika and minorities and things like that so if we really care will speak the truth. The end Brian II know again the flight you take day and night because because I take it as well for the stance that I take. But if you really care will get the facts out there and and we care about smoking. We care about drinking we care about obesity. We care about other things.

What do we care about the health hazards of homosexuality get this book with the medical and psychological research reveals.

You can get the e-book I purchased the book as soon as it came out in the mass resistance just sent me the, the amazing large paperback edition and then go to mass resistance.org help them stand with them and what they're doing and find out if if stuff is happening your own community of find out what others have done in other communities to make a difference and to speak up and to say hey were parents were concerned, this is affecting our kids we want we want to do the right thing. So Brian appreciate your efforts. I know it's a great challenge to keep going but there are victories in the race for progress of thank you so much thank you you all right again mass resistance.org is the website go to friends. Check out my latest article participate in the Passover Seder latest videos all on my digital library. Go to the line of fire.org from the question about Syria, Iran, Russia and America to the war on gender. We get all coming your way today, right here it's time for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH.

That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. There are prophecy.

Biblical books like Isaiah talk about the destruction of Damascus capital of Syria that's in there happen many centuries ago. Is it something happening in front of our lives is that something that will be a future event will talk about that on the broadcast today. Just seeing news now San Bernardino in elementary school shooting to reported dead and suspected murder suicide. You know, it's crazy these days you fear that think all good. It doesn't look like a terrorist attack than all good. It doesn't look like some demented demented mass murderer. It's just a murder suicide to me, that's almost the way that you see reports like this but San Bernardino, which was hit with a terror attack, not that long ago hit again with some traumatic news by God's grace be there for the people of San Bernardino.

I am about to introduce to one of the most influential Christian bloggers online Matt Walsh. He's got a brand-new book, the unholy Trinity blocking the left's assault on life, marriage and gender so we will talk to Matt in a few minutes first. If you miss the news. Justice Neil Gore such who was confirmed last week by the Senate, has now been sworn and as our ninth Justice to fill the place of Justice Antonin Scalia and it's interesting the reaction against him is quite extreme. Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards said his out of touch judicial record, may I ask, out of touch with whom I've touch in which way at add out of touch with ultra liberalism as touch with radical progressivism and out of touch with those who esteem the foundations of our country and the constitutional rights of America out of touch with them is out of touch.

Judicial record will threaten reproductive health and rights for decades to come. In other words, he will threaten the ability to kill millions of babies in the if he rules the way he's expected to rule on cases that come before him that that's a concern. He will threaten abortion activists. He will threaten abortion doctors and nurses.

He will threaten Planned Parenthood's industry vessel Hill. That's whom he will threaten the better way.

The better way to spoken of Gore, such with a been this his constitutionally based record will be a lifeline for the unborn in the womb. His constitutionally based history will be a lifeline for those who cherish religious liberties here in America.

His constitutionally based record will be a lifeline for those who cherish the founding principles of our nation and believe that everyone, beginning in the womb is entitled to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. That being said, you never know which way someone will rule once in office, so we need to pray for a heart of justice and a heart of truth for just the score such and for the others on the Supreme Court, and for God's will.

In terms of who was replaced and by whom we come back going to speak with Matt Walsh's new book, the un-holy Trinity blocking the left's assault on life, marriage and gender in that blogs regularly now for blaze read his line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown quite serious about a gospel based moral and cultural revolution in America were not throwing in the towel were not saying it's too late. We believe it's time to stand up for what's right and to push back one of the men who's been effectively pushing back for some years now, especially online, especially as an influential blogger Matt Walsh. His new book the unholy Trinity blocking less assault on life, marriage and gender back in 2000 for the first time the got started to lay on my heart that I needed to get involved with issues of LGBT activism I so quickly that it would become the principal threat to freedom of religion, speech and conscience in America. I saw quickly how far you gonna need it in schools etc. we can bring about the issues and came can bring about the people and began to follow the philosophy reach out, resist, reach out to the people with compassion resist the agenda with courage. Of course we stand for these things get maligned hated when I went to publish my 20th book a clear thing happen to America.

Lo and behold, no publisher would touch it. Three. Subsequently apologized to me, but nobody would touch her too controversial so when you're doing this you don't find many other voices standing up center clearly because the more you dig it. Hated vilify your homophobia transform your worse, you're not see your KKK, your big so I began to see some years back, the Matt Walsh blogs us a look at this is putting all this time and energy into these blogs are terrifically getting read by hundreds of thousands of millions of people now is a book out the unholy Trinity. So, I'm so glad for the first time, to bring to the line of fire.

Matt Walsh eight.

Thanks for joining us. Matt brought Malmberg to bear a man how old you. I am 3030 years old right so you represent that you are millennial voice technically correct yeah yeah millennial demographic got it and are you married, have kids America three kids got it. So how in the world did you get involved in a battle like this one in which you become maligned and hated vilify just for taking stands.

What is it that pushed you the action more than a lot of all the credit) who brave.Barbara Ray imager.

In faith and in truth and more than that we were ready encourage God and engage the culture and the fan probably even if we get back.

Now I would like public school and felt constantly in our ability for constantly being attacked or malign. We were all expelled damper. Lusterless, right school at Unity control dictators or whatever you never get trouble that is not caused teleported out I was generated on Atlantic. Just the fact that I inherited that fight and so know that I messed up. One thing that I collected my knowledge, current market and house listing shifted say since you were in school to today have things been on the steady moral, spiritual sanity decline in our culture are pretty valid out of garbage from the great. Maybe it will require larger word article fundamentally about the culture of the? I entered a question about will now I graduated I got the book let them know 3014 years ago and from the look of it, I haven't had direct vent, but look at it seemed like it going to work now when you inject that kind of gender ideology in the picture, which didn't really exist. Why was there. You inject that effect of that in and it's really gotten to the point a lot of school where it whether taking McCabe is just completely divorced from reality, truth, and that I I saw on Twitter yesterday that I posted on Facebook a page from Amazon.com.

It's a T-shirt. Actually there bunches of different designs. That's is there more than two genders and then you can either buy men's size or women's size. There's something fundamentally contradictory when you just say that the infinite number of genders and we have to call it out for what it is.

So how do you describe this to transgender activism. The war on gender part of this unholy Trinity. What, in your view is going on how you characterize this trip and the lack there a lot war on.

An American parent will state relativism as the guiding principle of our of our society because� Little bit longer. They want to live in a world where I have my own through my own reality and I get the make of everything I I am not subject to anything or anyone. There are no laws, no rule, nothing that can impose itself on the that's what they had world 111 and they began with their attempt to redefine human life 40 years ago they were successful, at least quickly, speaking the court and I moved on project throughout the marriage, and not the gender and want prophetic. Variable reality. Men are men, women, women matter what they do in terms of only normalized the idea that you can do whatever gender you want, of any of any of the 5000 option fully normalizing that and provided a fully adopted and not then that's sorted and then there is no more complex art by the way, you could go commando.

Work on low perception is reality. Bruce Jenner is woman Rachel dollars, almost black woman. Hopefully she's cat is a cat and on and on. The perception becomes reality which case, how can you function as a society in any meaningful way and and if you declare war on gender successfully. I said, in reality, they can't. But that's that's how life goes around so these things and the sensor are self-destructive, so in your book the unholy Trinity blocking the left's assault on life, marriage and gender.

You're putting three things together here single part of the same battle abortion the meaning of marriage. The definition of gender are these ideologically linked to the linkage of the same activists behind them is that this is the illuminati behind it with how how these join together in reality, ideologically the airline after total unity on the left and right on the left third unity in terms of they all agree that the important available you thinking about and they kind of Happening a lot a lot have adopted you imperfection and sometimes seemingly out of nowhere, so you look at it a few years ago. There certainly were a lot of people advocating the copyright but it wasn't really mainstream on the left and even as recently as eight years ago we had about radically left and had to run on a platform of defending additional merit and I was only eight years ago quickly that an amendment gender even five years ago nobody talked about the project out yet ever complaining about gender role of feminine development, but nobody will talk about how whatever gender you want to do gender invented an appointment. I recently left just kinda goes along with wherever you find on the right. There is not that Mr. and we get 100 start in a room and you have to. What are the most important principle R found it to clear 70 different answers that are fighting a clinical grade. I wrote a book the kind of rally.

Comparatively, Christians around. But we can understand that these are dark but our foundational principle of art.

The project, like Mary yet again the foundations of our existence depend on these things matter.

I noticed years ago in pro-life work that that people protesting you have ACS you have gays and lesbians you have Satanists in every single one.

Why in the world.

These these groups in such prominence, but there was almost a coalition against life. You could say this is almost a coalition against life and the foundations of God is established right we got a break coming up, but Matt what are you hoping that readers will get out of your book unholy Trinity. While I'm I'm hoping that Bill will come away with some clarity, understanding, and a comparative understanding of the argument are in our favor of that and also I would not want to galvanize and unify people. Around and understand that we cannot move forward and argue about any other delete.

We've established that life is sacred marriage is the record in a manner men and women.

Women to be the foundational thing that is able to establish and protect them since will be like that with Matt Walsh, the unholy Trinity like� All of my classes and I can't say how many times as much right on something. I thought awesome matter in coveted great death particular, it is clear is fearless. You need to read what he writes. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown, eventually joining us guessing that calm his book new book which is getting a lot of immediate attention a lot of very positive attention. The unholy Trinity blocking the left's assault on life, marriage and gender matter.

Few specifics. Why is abortion the crowning achievement of liberalism power that about one through abortion. The left ultimate goal is relativism that the reduction of objective truth, and felt with abortion, they started but by making humanlike belts relative human life according to probe or compartment human life. The humanity of them worked out is relative to how the mother about it, relative to how convenient that life and those around and they have given himself power over over like that like death, but no bacon. Take humanity away from somebody from her child from the human person just because I like them and filling that that no other. They're never going to achieve anything greater than that my thick great Ottoman good on more magnitude alright so that assault has has been in place for decades now.

The rhetoric surrounding the season continues to get more and more shrill, especially as there's push back the conservative and how do you think activists and their allies were so effective in getting marriage redefine now you have tens of millions of Americans saying yeah yeah the right to marry the one you love yeah as long as it's love. Love wins and and and it's only quality why not. How were they so successive successful in marketing such a bizarre proposition that two men or two women can quote marry partner management governance.

All they were able to determine the argument and we allowed so they frame the discussion as one of but right about food allowed to love who that sort of thing and once we allow them to bring the art that we allowed it. I mean you we have a Christian writer ineffective in arguing that, or we didn't drive and quite they frame the argument of life and what the real frame it that way get away with the games that matter. The point once the real frame of the discussion about right rather than what is right, but human right then we're in trouble, but got to get that back further than that because of the Christians were ineffective at defending marriage assault or or didn't run first light treatment. The trait of the decay of the marriage covenant American culture didn't start with with dinner.

You get the trachea back decades back at Dr. and Christians abandon marriage as a covenant as a monogamous permanent common for men and woman they abandon that notion now or later, and once we had done that then it would sort of difficult to make the argument that marriage is sacred, meanwhile, worked on out and getting an L5 divorced and remarried left and right treating marriage as a professional and permanent and felt really gay activist pointed out that there your group attending the marriage effect and that that even if we are hypocrites about and we all followers banging in regards to gay marriage, but still it you anytime. The thought that if I can look at you and accurately accused of hypocrisy up to be an effective bit of ammo that they have an arsenal and that you absolutely on exit for many years that no-fault heterosexual divorce in the church did more than undermine marriage, gay activist combine, but were seen both the wrong yeah you pointed a finger us rightly so. Both the wrong redefining marriage is wrong and loosen the sacredness of marriage is wrong. Matt, you got little kids that you're raising your calling for conservatives for Christians to stand together and push back against this unholy Trinity.

You have hope.

The change comes.

You have hope that your kids can be raised in a world that is more sane than the world that we live in today. I don't have a lot of hope that my very generalizable to raise a more because they're already living in a world that you like my normal environment) and become more thing we have to have a very change ever wanted. You have to happen culturally much overnight back.

I have I do have hope. Ultimate, I will have the ultimate spiritual help that I know that the good guys going to be in. Yes, often but have that hope and not that the only real in a more current temporal and very hope of turning the culture back toward God, but that going to be a gradual thought that and Mike and their generation are going very much involved in fighting to make that turn out not to be made there to have all turned back and so I have to quit. We have the benefit along all the generational, we lost the culture of our court generation, and I think it didn't reason that the organ went back to generation up so we live with expectation of the Lord's return and looking forward to that day, but we have a multigenerational mentality until that takes place just as you were raise.

When you start off by saying it's not what prompted you to get involved with who raised by godly parents.

Now, you in turn raising the kids. And in this way, so we in that sense can be holy counterculture revolutionaries by following the principles of Jesus and that I believe that gay activism effectively defeats itself because it over places hand, those that were bullied become bullies and then things keep going further and further without name, your gender, and so on. With God's ways produce life in God's ways are best so Matt appreciate all your work again. The new book the unholy Trinity blocking the left's assault on life, marriage and gender. We just got about 45 seconds what you hearing from the readers of your book turn humbled and grateful for the father will actually read it and I like that humbled by the a lot of people feel alone and man a look at the good Samaritan gender and they feel like I'm not a lot of thought about that note, my point of view.

Think knowledge of the landmark book like that not alone in a bizarre partnership and I think that they feel motivated by Platteville, but are pretty good about that.

Of course a lot of liberal yeah hostage hey Matt, thanks for joining us on here today I it's the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown yesterday on the I am delighted to be with you. 866337884 the number to call.

Got a brand-new article I wrote just a few hours ago to make sure we had it up today it's called. Should Christians participate in the Passover Seder tonight Jewish men and women around the world. It's really happened in Israel but happening soon.

In America they will join together for the annual Passover Seder. This is a traditional meal that commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and looks forward to the final redemption in each element of the meal has a certain symbolism to it and some of these elements or some of the concepts were certainly present in Jesus day and some were developed afterwards. And there's the question. Was it right for Christians to celebrate this and got a brand-new article you can read it@thelineoffire.org and I hope to get into some of that with you as well.

866-348-7884 I was asked a question by a grad this morning who texted me and he said do you think what's happening in the Middle East today is prophecy being fulfilled, man.

After all, we got some major players involved notice of the fact that Israel is always in the middle of whatever's happening in the least if you can't get far away from from physical Israel and from its relationship to the surrounding nations by got America in the thick of this battle over Syria you got Russia involved. You got Iran involved, and you've got potentially at an international coalition of nations that could be concerned about what is happening in Syria so so these are major questions is prophecy being fulfilled. Symbol what prophecy in particular will maybe verse like this. Isaiah 17 passage like this and Oracle concerning Damascus, Damascus, being the capital of Syria. Some your translations will talk about the Arab man's others, the Syrians, it is the same people. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city will become a heap of ruins. The cities of our aware are deserted, there will be for flocks which will lie down and none will make them afraid the fortress will disappear from F.

Ryan, which is northern Israel in the kingdom from Damascus and the remnants of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts in that day, the glory of Jacob will be brought low in the fat of his flesh will grow clean it shall be as when the reaper gather standing grain. His arm harvest the ears as one gleans the ears of grain in the Valley of refined team cleanings will be left in it is when all trees, beaten two or three berries in the top of the hospital for five of the branches of a fruit tree, declares the Lord God of Israel, and that day mandala to his maker's eyes will look on the holy one, of Israel.

You have a passage like Jeremiah 49 beginning verse 23, concerning Damascus home often are part are confounded.

They've heard that there is they melt in fear their troubled like to see the canopy quiet Damascus has become feeble.

She turned to thin panics and panic seized her, then he goes on kindle a fire in the wall Damascus a child to devour the strongholds of been hotdog of the historic royalty there in Syria. Well Jeremiah delivered his prophecy. What hundred 50 years after Isaiah's prophecy roughly same prophecy different prophecies one still future is the Bible talking about modern Syria. Today I want to address that we come back and then more to share with you today on the line of fire 866-34-TRUTH.

If you have any question whatsoever. What was happening in the Middle East about American involvement about trump policies about what's going on any question of any kind, delighted to talk your phone call now 866348788 and it's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown question or comment. Again my latest art if you can read the line of fire.org. Should Christians participate in the Passover Seder.

We got a few new videos up there to a teaching video.

Is it scriptural to pray to Jesus or to just pray to the father. Is there a difference in how up young student got accepted at Standford University. All yeah that's surprise you read that you'll find it interesting. Alright so when when I read Isaiah 17 with my background in Old Testament and ancient near Eastern studies. I look at Isaiah 17 is what happened. That was a prophecy about sin that happened in Isaiah's day, and surely enough, when I take out the NIV cultural study Bible, I see the note thereby Prof. John Walton the serial effort might walk is made, which raged during the middle 17 730s BC. This is Isaiah's time ended with the Assyrian King takeoff police are invading Syria and Israel, and devastating.

Both of these rebellious states is from 734 and 732 BC the Syrian kingdom ruled from Damascus pirate scene had been Israel's principal political and economic rival. He had meddled in Israel and Judah's internal affairs and had encroached on their territories for over a decade. It seems apparent, however, that would seem overstepped his bounds and leading an anti-Syrian coalition. Syria did not welcome arrival greater Syria and the destruction of Damascus in 732 is recorded the Assyrian animals. Animals was massive. It left hundreds of sites looking like hills, over which the flood has swept this will widespread structural destruction also included both reduction of much of the city of Damascus to rubble as well as the redistribution of its territories.

In Syria, Transjordan and Galilee. So in other words, the prophesied destruction of Damascus happened exhibit but it could be happening again. I date could be, but that's not what Isaiah was addressing. Think of it like this right but we just help you understand biblical prophecy. Some there are events which clearly describe the end of the age right the End of Days the end of the age.

And at this particular time.

This will happen will be the final judgment, it will be the final establishing of the Messiah's kingdom on the earth to understand but along with the prophets prophesied much of it most of it was to their people about things happening in their day with warnings and with promises and we learn from that and apply that teaching to our day as well. So let's just say that you are a modern-day prophet.

Okay you are a modern-day Isaiah in 10 years ago you said a man will be raised up to be the president of our nation who will be very liberal. He will have a black father and a white mother and he will turn America in a new direction in terms of marriage and family, and after him will comment on the likely president who will be known as a narcissistic businessman and he will be a champion of the pro-life movement. Okay.

Who would I be speaking about.

Obviously, Barack Obama, Donald Trump right if I prophesied these things 10 years ago okay to go back to Isaiah's day, 730+ years ago and Syria is joining with the northern kingdom of Israel to attack Judah and this is where Isaiah is based in Jerusalem and Judah and is prophesying from their right you read about Isaiah 7 this coalition. It's coming against the Judean king of cause and I want to get rid of him and put somebody else on the throne is the replace that the son of David, the Davidic king on the throne and put someone else in place and I say this is not to happen as I can. I happen there. This was going to be destroyed. In fact, they went to exile they were exiled by the Assyrians in 721 BC and Damascus gotta be destroyed.

Will that happen and and in 732 a decade earlier. So all that to say that what Isaiah said happened within a few years he prophesied it happen. Why would we now point that, to the distant future right, and even if the prophet said that the city will lie in rubble and will not be rebuilt. It doesn't necessarily mean that it will be 100% devastated and no one will ever live there again and it could mean generations will go by without it being rebuilt. When we get to Jeremiah chapter 49.

Again, the question is, what was the application and that day so I take out my NIV cultural study by which you can still buy from a website.

I believe Esther to Brown that would otherwise it's available elsewhere and again. Jeremiah 4923 to read before the break, the capital city of Ahram Syria for about the 10th to the eighth century BC is Damascus so in this context, the name represents the entire nation when the prophet speaks of Damascus.

He speaking of the nation as a whole. Syria.

Damascus was a constant threat to the northern kingdom of Israel until was defeated by two glass police of the third of Assyrian 732 BC, as we just said so what happens is about 150 years ago by now that the Assyrian Empire has collapsed alright and is little less than 150 years ago by Babylon is raised up the notes you set it Damascus seems to have gained a degree of independence that was short-lived, so they seemed okay were free again. We do we want and and and and know there's more judgment coming on you.

It's coming again on you and that's what Jeremiah predicts after the Babylonians defeated the Egyptians and the bell of car commission 605 BC effectively ceiling serious fate. Damascus came under the Babylonian control by 599 598 BC the Syrian army joined the Babylonian army to begin a series of attacks on Judah. So once again, Syria is coming after Judah once again Syria is hostile to Judah and that could fuel the fires of this word of judgment, and what happens is the Babylonian Chronicle reports that Nebuchadnezzar intercepted the Egyptians a hut at come off as they fled from car commission 605 BC goes on with further details.

But, in other words, there is further judgment that was prophesied on Damascus on Syria because of its ongoing hostility to Judah and just the end of the notes. The expression, the fortresses have been her dog must be understood in the same way as one understands the house of Omri to refer to the northern kingdom of Israel. The house of David to refer to the United Kingdom of Israel.he was synonymous with the Syrian royal house. Okay hope that wasn't too detailed for you, but the point I want to make is that there was application.

From that time, it would be odd if Jeremiah gave this prophecy. Let's that's just pick a date 600 BC. All right, that he he gives this prophecy in 600 BC and it has no relevance to his day no relevance to the decades that follow no relevance to the centuries that follow. But now 3100 year ACC 2700 years later it becomes relevant with a prophecy about the destruction of Damascus, either by the United States or by coalition or whatever.

No, I don't see the prophecies unfold like that. There are some that are decidedly end times. There are many prophecies that God gave to Israel that unfold gradually so the first level of fulfillment is when say the exile from from Babylon. In the 530s BC okay. Was it fulfilled that everything God promised happen and no, there is more to happen and were seeing it fulfilled in our day as God continues to bring Jewish people back to the land in a state of unbelief continues to bring them back to the land and there in the land sprinkles clean water on so little by little by little there's the turning of Jewish people to faith in the Messiah and faith in the God of Israel, and him and we see that it is a Jerusalem that does not believe in Jesus the Messiah that will be surrounded by hostile nations. At the end of the agent attack according to Zechariah 12 chapter we see that that will happen all right. And as as a result of this happening, the great pressure that comes in and the Holy Spirit working in I believe a positive witness of of the church worldwide that that will create a turning of heart and that will lead to the Jewish people looking on the one they've pierced and mourning and repentance. But again for that prophecy to be fulfilled. It requires an international coalition of nations coming against Israel. Either all nations or an international coalition are all surrounding nations coming against the Jewish people in Israel.

God fighting for them. But at that point as a nation.

They are not yet fully believing Jesus the Messiah to the point that a great spirit of repentance is poured out on them and then cleansing comes to the nation so all that to say there are prophecies that I see still unfolding, but there are other prophecies which spasticity this happened in a certain historical context and has already been filled line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown is celebrate and it will be celebrated now. Tonight the Passover meal even many nontraditional Jews will gather for this meal even secular Jews might celebrated around the country. I celebrated some growing up I did. I don't think every year that we we had a traditional Seder if if my memory serves me right, but II know a number of years growing up I did. Again, I did not have a traditional Jewish upbringing, but many Christians have become interested in the Seder. Many messianic Jews like my friend Scott Volk will conduct seders and some a call to Christ in the Passover Messiah in the Passover meal and the point back to the Jewish roots of our faith in the. The point to the significance of the various elements in the Seder meal and because of that, an article was written and published by Christianity today by Rabbi she feel you feel Coco and David Sano and these are men who celebrate Jewish Christian dialogue. They call for mutual respect between the faiths.

But this a look have respect this a traditional Jewish meal. Whatever Jesus said at the Last Supper with his disciples. It wasn't the same meal because much of what's in this meal and the symbolism of this meal comes later was developed in the decades and centuries following the time of Jesus issue and therefore it's kind of Christians co-opting this when they when they make it their own. So number one. Jesus did not participate in the Passover Seder. Whatever meal he ate that was the Jewish meal, the Passover with different did not have all the elements of the meal today and and secondly secondly it it's it's inappropriate and disrespectful for Christians to have their own Passover citizens is taking something that's sacred to Judaism and then turning it into a Christian event usable.

What if you're curious, is a Christian for the rabbis which they will then maybe have a Jewish friend just from glad they have you as a guest. If you want to learn and sit there and in particular Seder with user or maybe this local rabbi, can you do some teaching on this. The folks are Christian community that there curious to know about this and gladly they'll do that.

But don't make a drone Christian celebration, especially in messianic Jew leading it so. This article got a lot of pushback on Christianity today.

A lot of folks were surprised by offended by it and the questions had an weed response. Again, my latest articles up down the line of fire.org Christians participate in the Passover Seder so here's my first question how many churches are doing this. How how many churches I having Passover Seder's where they have everyone come together in a knot in the home but but the church building or or in the event center and they get hundreds of people together dining hall in a hotel ballroom and I have these events. I would suspect that the churches that are doing them are doing them in conjunction with a messianic Jew, a Jewish believer in Jesus, who is now going to conduct the Seder and talk about the spiritual meaning and significance of the Seder and and I think that's the biggest rub for these rabbis who say like you've got this other group co-opting this event and making it into something that it is not in it. How would we feel, how would we feel if if, for example, Muslim said okay communion. Now we celebrate communion, but we see in it a prophecy about Mohammed right that that's how we understand it, we see communion as a prophecy of of Mohammed. But here's the problem. Muslims don't believe the crucifixion of Jesus, my comparison breaks down right Muslims don't believe in the crucifixion of Jesus, but Christians believe in the Passover celebration beginning with the Exodus from Egypt and culminating in the death and resurrection of the Messiah is the first thing secondly monitors no connection with me. But Jesus did celebrate the traditional Jewish meal, the Last Supper, whatever Jewish people of his day.

Did that's what he did. That's what we we glean from the Last Supper from the drinking of the cups of wine and from things that happened there in it for the presence of the bread which we understand what been matzoh unleavened bread and in the wine to drink that this was part of the traditional meal of the day.

So even though not all the elements seem to have been there and she was day. He did participate in the traditional meal of his day and that's what followers of Jesus are doing today as he did in his day at and in doing so, they are appreciating the connection to the Exodus from Egypt. They are appreciating that the symbolism of the bitter herbs. Speaking of that, the bondage that we suffer there and things like that into the bone from the Lamb reminding us of the thalamic sacrifice, but we say it's not just of the retreat. If there is a greater deliverance and a greater Passover lamb and that's what were pointing to. And let's also remember that many messianic Jews grew up celebrating the Passover Seder and then once they came to faith that the Seder took on much more meaning for them. So when I was just at Beth Hillel messianic congregation about 500 people around side of Atlanta, Roswell, Georgia.

They were announcing the Passover Seder when it's gonna be there doing his the Jewish believers and their Gentile Christians joined to them who celebrate this is part of a common heritage, recognizing roots, and even find within it. Symbolism that points afresh Jesus the Messiah. And let's let's also remember friends that when the church cut itself off from its Jewish roots. Anti-Semitism entered like a flood, and is had a destructive effect on the world and hurt Jewish people in his blemish the church for centuries, to the extent the church rightly is connected to Jewish roots and rightly celebrates things like the Passover. To that extent it will keep anti-Semitism from raising its ugly head. By the way credit to Christianity today. They published a full-length response to the article by the two rabbis by my friends Mitch Glaser and Darrell Bock entitled why Christians can celebrate Passover to and they write the question of whether or not Jesus celebrated the Passover Seder as we know it today is to some degree moved. He observed the Passover in the same way as any of the first century Jew. This event drug Jews and Christians closer to one another rather than driving an additional wedge between our faith communities, so it concerns them. When Christians do not see any identification with the Jewish people and Jewish backgrounds of their faith, but more to the point we simply cannot rob Christians of their heritage in Jesus, especially not the events of the Last Supper, which was clearly some type of Passover celebration. Having said all that, friends, can I call your attention to Egypt where dozens of our brothers and sisters were slaughtered yesterday by Isis terrorist by suicide bombs that took many lives and lost and left many more terribly wounded. There was also direct attack on the. The Coptic Pope, the leader of the church of Egypt so brothers and sisters are suffering. These attacks are all too common in Egypt. At this time of the year, a Coptic Christian there said he thinks the Egyptian government is doing what it's can to stop this, but it's against overwhelming forces. Let's pray for grace for the believers there as if this was happening to our friends and family.

Let's pray for courage to stand. Let's pray for the exposing of Islamic terrorism and for the conversion of Islamic terrorist is a two track Jesus and that moderate Muslims call and look to the Lord as well.
