From Anti-Semitism to the Grammys to World Missions

I'm back from Israel live in studio, we've got you covered from anti-Semitism. The Grammys 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. Well, it is great to be sitting back in my studio with art team here in the states. Just got back from Israel yesterday about lunchtime arrived at my home so it's a delight to be back with you it's time difference seven hours so that would mean 10 in the evening Israel time, but everything should go well. If I forget my name or something just attributed to jetlagged but I think were okay welcome welcome to the broadcast. Michael Brown yes glad to be with you.

866-34-TRUTH eight 664-8784 for all of our friends who were in Israel on the store but just a wonderful trial I was so blessed by our time together and her great great reports from the folks on the tour with me, but if you happen to be listening if you're maybe taken the day off and listening or watching blessings to you.

I hope you get right back on schedule.

All right a lot to talk about the Grammy awards replace last night and watched the show not only what was going to shows but anyway I did see today, a number of quotes about the power of music. Different performance talk about that later in the show.

I will revisit that subject, subject share some of my favorite quotes from my new book the power of music outs: change the world one song at a time came out just a few weeks ago will talk about that little later in the show. My friend Larry Tomczak is going to call him with a few thoughts as well talk about world missions said was I coming from you. Find out a bit later in the show but first let's start with a focus on anti-semi to the rising tide of anti-Semitism.

Now look, I am aware that people who have been maligned, mistreated, misunderstood, people who have been lied about people who have suffered a lot just because of who they are, they can get paranoid. That's fully understandable.

You've had a lot of bad things happen to you. A lot of people betray you. A lot of people take advantage of you and semicolons along with a great deal that this going to help you. You're a little skeptical and burned so I understand that as a people we Jews have often been burned and we have often been persecuted and we have often been driven out of countries and we have often been put to the sword and we have often been lied about. I am working daily just about done now editing an updated and revised edition of our hands or staying with Susan, her hands are stained with blood, which is been translated into more languages than any book I have written to meta 92 has been continuously imprint, but I spent a lot of time updating, revising, adding lots of actual additional quotes and anecdotes and references and I think it's going to be sharper and more powerful than ever and part of what I've done is updated the data about anti-Semitism because her hands there with blood, tells the story of the church's persecution of the Jewish people over the centuries and wrong theology that led to that and media bias and lies about Israel etc. etc. sorbent looking at this a lot.

I don't want to say plainly without fear of contradiction that anti-Semitism continues to rise in America. Thankfully, Jewish people have a lot of favorite America. Thankfully there is a lot of solidarity with the nation of Israel in America but if you look at the parties. Right now the Republican Party much much much much stronger. Much, much stronger on standing with Israel and the Democrats. I mean markedly true. 131 difference in terms of data relevant data and is always been like that but that that is the case right now. Not only so, but there are two new Congressman Muslim women who have been outspoken at times against Israel was some pretty ugly quotes and and now one so ugly that House Democrats and congressional leaders are calling for an apology publicly calling out a colleague that doesn't happen that often, but lines have been crossed so there there remains a lot of favorite Israel and the Jewish people in America. But let's not deceive ourselves. There is something supernatural behind anti-Semitism.

There is something demonic behind anti-Semitism of the lectures at college campuses, including Gaelic Columbia talking about this very subject the demonic roots of anti-Semitism in saying you cannot simply explain it.

Based on economic situations or spiritual situations or ordinances escape golden theories or whatever it is when you can fully explain the world phenomenon of anti-Semitism through history, the world's longest hatred of the world's most widespread hate to the world's most irrational hatred. Only you can fully explain this by recognizing there is a demonic desire to wipe out the Jewish people. The Messiah's own people and those who must welcome the Messiah back so let me give you an example white supremacists and black supremacists both unite together and their hatred of Israel and there is never enough.

It I knew was quotes documenting that in our hands are stained with blood, but I updated it with codes from 2018 one of them will start Saying Jews are termites cinematic seminar meant the termite we do is termite to exterminate termites bring you what Erica was saying just as the Nazis had like infused powerful parasites that can liken them to termites and then what less than two weeks later, a white supremacist burst into the synagogue in Pittsburgh coal blood mows down 11 people are. It's so let's get this straight black supremacists white supremacist United in hatred of the Jewish people.

It's no coincidence, check out this editorial from Brett Stevens, the New York Times, Brett Stevens, New York Times op Ed my friend Rabbi Shirley Botero sent out an email telling when to read it. The progressive assault on Israel.

He said a movement that can detect a racist dog whistle from miles away. Strangely deaf when it comes to some of the bulk of its own side of the fence and then look at what he says what he says up one of the scroll down there. We just lost that article he talks about a recent major note that the quote mark that he talks about a major event, a major, gay rights, conference rights of these are LGBT Q activists and what are they chanting. It happened again last month in Detroit. Pro-Palestinian demonstrator sees the stage of the national LGBT Q task force Marquis conference by this one of the big gay events in the year right big activist events called creating change and it demanded a boycott of Israel from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

They chanted the tediously malign, thinly veiled call to and Israel as a Jewish state because from the river to the sea Palliser will be free means no more Israel there met with sustained applause by the audience at what is the largest annual conference of LGBT Q activists in United States conference organizers did nothing to stop the disruption or disavow the demonstrators art. What's the point of bringing that up. Why LGBT Q activists. Why are they anti-Israel, why are they so militantly pro-Palestinian that they want to see the end of Israel as a nation again if it's from the river from the Jordan River to the see the Mediterranean Sea what's in between what is in between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

A country called Israel no more, no, no, none of these activities have their way with that chant.

It would Israel sit was observing soldiers what all will just get rid of the Jews in Israel. The 6 million+ Jews in Israel.

So here you have yet another example, black supremacists white supremacist gay activist now some of the leaders in the women's march will have in common anti-Semitism continues to be a rising tide them only around the world, but in America for years now. It is been reported that the worldwide levels of anti-Semitism have been just as high as they were immediately before the Holocaust, the epistemic that many people feel that way about other people.

All you need is this one little thing to spark one more thing to spark a massive fire one little lie economic collapse. The Jews get blamed something else happens.

The Jews get blamed something else goes wrong the Jews get plane the next thing boom it explodes okay Fox news reports what is going on with Sudanese born Muslim Johan Omar her AIPAC tweak sparks condemnation, including from Chelsea Clinton and what's the background to this. The background is that she made the accusation. It's all about the Benjamin's been the Benjamin Franklin's meaning it's all about the money it's all about the money.

Okay represent representative Johan Omar of Minnesota spark backlash Sunday evening for members of both parties, including former first-order Chelsea Clinton after she closed a prominent lobbying group of paying members of Congress to support Israel. Okay so the question was will who who's doing it is, is Congress getting paid off is that it Congress getting paid off, but by whom who's involved. And she posts AIPAC which is group of Americans and political leaders, and others in grassroots standing with Israel standing with the Jewish people and and lobbying Congress for Israel and because they're all types of groups like this lobbying Congress folder causes AIPAC is very powerful in America. So Boettcher Unger's argon, who is the opinion editor for forward magazine for the newspaper said would love to know who Johan thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel or thing.

Guess bad form Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted Chetan. Her answer AIPAC. I'll tell you who's paying off Congress. So Congress is not sin with Israel because of Israel's democratic values because of Israel as a strategic partner in the Middle East because of the history of the Middle East after the Holocaust before and after the Holocaust, reestablishing the state of Israel.

The important alliance that we have with Israel. Israel's human rights record compared to others in the region. No no no no, Congress Congress is standing with Israel because people getting paid off by the Jews paid off by the home. Omar say now he's a Democrat saying the holiday thing with Nikki Haley said about the fire. We will file the 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 for truth. Listen, there is always going to be what I feel the default state that this is the natural state of things that human beings are to be anti-Semitic is just part of fallen human nature part of demonic strategy is like human beings by nature to be selfish in human beings by nature going to have various bad qualities along with good qualities is filled with the. The default setting in human beings is anti-Semitism.

So without God's intervention that is something that we will see repeated time and time again so Nikki Haley, our previous ambassador to the you and Nikki Haley said this to see this at the UN was a fight every day and by the way, she was amazing in her pro-Israel statements and calling out the hypocrisy of the UN, this cannot CANNOT be tolerated in our own Congress by anyone be the party in a time of increased anti-Semitism.

We all must be held to account. No excusesfor hate no tolerance for anti-Semitism.

What is happening with people.

Yeah, good for Nikki Haley calling out Johan Omar and look, I'm glad that someone could come over from Sue Don. I'm glad that a Muslim woman could find a future here in America and but people vote, but people vote had that you there is no religious test right. This is the way it's come down.

It may have meant something originally was that you knew you had to prove yourself in a certain positive way religiously, but others no religious test, you can be Catholic or Protestant.

You can be Jewish you can be Buddhist, Muslim, you be Hindu be atheist. You can serve our government. Now there is the reverse religious test. If you are religious people can come against you, and be judging your villages.

But all that's bad must deliver religious beliefs which is great, but in point of fact, good for her that America the land of opportunity and she found opportunity and she's been elected is the is a house representative fine. I let her be held accountable. As such, so Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats put out a statement that supposed to sit in our conversation today, Congressman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms. I want to hear it out of the mouth of Johan Omar, here's the Democratic leadership statement on the anti-Semitic comments of Congressman Johan Omar silt notice they are labeling them as anti-Semitic and can we scroll down on that order or no. Here's what they said anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned when ever it is encountered without exception.

We are will always be strong supporters of Israel and Congress because we understand that our support is based on shared values and strategic interest. Jimmy Chris's criticism of Israel's policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate. The United States and Israel share Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel supporters is deeply offensive condemned these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments is Democrats as Americans. The entire Congress must be fully engaged in denouncing and rejecting all forms of hatred, racism, prejudice and discrimination wherever they are encountered good good statement.

Democrats appreciate you doing that speaking up.

Well, they just did it because they had listen. Unlike in the judge why political leaders do what they do.

I am going to call them out for doing what's wrong and commend them for doing what's right. Glad they are doing this we shall see where this goes there, but this is not isolated and I'm not expecting it to go away quickly. Now you might say Mike Brown But if you think that what you don't know me because I live with a sense of God's favor in my life. I live with a sense of God's blessing. I live with a sense of if God is for me who can be against me. I live with a sense of literally feeling bad for people who oppose me because I'm so confident on God's grace in my life. I feel bad for them.

So your your it can be hard to find a less paranoid person.

Many people close to me know they have to make sure that I'm aware of a real probable real danger because I tend to believe the best and expect the best in think the best right but having said that, I'm also a realist. As I have been revising and updating our hands are stained with blood due out the new edition just front of the publisher. September 17 of this year.

If you haven't written. Read the book it weight a bit after we did not file his weight few months for the revised edition to come out so in the book I document some of the crazy anti-Semitic attacks from quote Christian writers, and some of them. Aside from the horrific anti-Semitism you would say what they believe and preaches the gospel and no words that they hold to the fundamentals of the faith, and they share many values that we share. I'm not going to mention the author of these quotes in my opinion, he could be the most prolific Christian anti-Semite today.

I don't tell his profession of faith. I say that it is contradicted though by what is written on that mentioning names now because of any contact him let them know at some point that I'm to be addressing these things Republican very vocally and invite them to come on the air and discuss our differences, but limit is read a couple of quotes for you from this author's contemporary author of all the diseased schools of racial supremacy is him I'm convinced that the Jewish specimen is the most evil, most threatened the lives, bodies, and eternal destinies of human, read that again from a concern. Christian author of all disease schools of racial supremacy is him. I am convinced that the Jewish specimen is the most evil and most threatening the lives, bodies, eternal destinies of humankind.

Okay, one more one more quote from the same author Zionism and its accompanying religious disease. Judaism are the champions of all time in terms of the total number of innocent men, women and children being imprisoned in concentration camps, beaten, bludgeoned, raped and robbed, humiliated and unmercifully slaughter all he's got book after book with trash like this with unmitigated trash like that with the libelous accusations and he and a whole bunch of other people believe them, the other being paranoid.

I'm just telling you that that is the reality star the poll on Twitter couple hours back asking folks if they thought anti-Semitism was on the rise are really overreacting to stray comment here and there that isn't on the rise in America or are you not sure and someone in response to a woman in response tweeted back and and what she said was, was this because you read that last week she tweeted back within anti-Semitic comment and she said it's not a matter of anti-Semitism that amount of anti-Semitism. She said it is a matter of it is a matter of reacting against those in power.

So in other words, people not being anti-Semitic is what you wrote Miss canned patriot and I did blocker. I told her she wrote after this count is reinvested. Not like respond blocker and by anti-Semitism mean disdain for those in power. This is rising due to their disastrous policies of Jew hatred is rising because Jews control the world and in their messing everything up and people reacting to it alleges a link to Stephen Anderson, King James only fanatic, Stephen Anderson, who is a classic anti-Semite is well there. One of his videos. The Jews are the most wicked nation, Stephen Anderson, who rejoices homosexual to kill does the government should become in them, Stephen Anderson, that's what you links to and she identifies as the patriarch so I responded, she responded back with her for the child's world and refute was in his video reputation. First I dignify it right now by interacting with it.

But second, if I take the time to interact its facts versus fiction is video being fiction exaggeration and classic anti-Semitic judgments with friends. This is no surprise. This is been around for a long time. It is been around a long time it's going to continue until Jesus returns.

God is made promises to the Jewish people, not because of our goodness, but because of his goodness is kept this not because of our faithfulness but because of his faithfulness. The only reason we still exist on the pilot is because of the grace and love and mercy of God and by the way, if you follow Jesus Christian that you encourage it is of God kept his promises to Israel is going to keep his promises to the church, but if Satan can wipe out the Jews, since God said in the world. Though there will always exist as a nation. If Satan can wipe their mouth they mixed onto a lot not only sober the Jewish people still play a key role in world redemption and they are the ones who must welcome the Messiah back. If Satan can wipe out the Jewish people, then he can thwart the plan of God ain't gonna happen.

Ain't gonna happen. Sorry for the influence your child with the grammar. It is not going to happen. Double keep his promises. God will preserve God will bless with the reason the Jews have been so hated in world history cannot be explained by our failures as human beings or shortcomings must be like other people around the world. No, it is ultimately explained by this Satan wants to wipe us out you will change subjects that number and by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I got saved, came to faith as a hippie rock drummer.

I will talk your friend in a moment, who came to faith as a drummer with a group called the lost souls.

Talk about a prophetic message that wasn't meant to be a prophetic message. This is Michael Brown back from Israel got in yesterday delighted to be back with you here in studio 866-34-TRUTH 87884 distance argument anti-Semitism in the first half hour of the broadcast. For all those drawing us now were switching subjects. With the Grammys taking place last night while talk about the power of music. My new book out on the power of music would be good to talk to my friend Larry Tomczak about this is as he's been watching the culture watching how culture influences kids in media, entertainment, and there's no medium more powerful than the medium of music.

There is a famous quote from Andrew Fletcher of it it's it's come down and in various forms over the years. But with Fletcher said is this in the 1700s on all care I don't care who makes your laws.

Rachel also I care about who write your songs understand the power of her song to change hearts, minds, and then out of that laws will change. Larry always great to have your modifier, welcome back Mike, thank you so much you can honor and welcome back from Israel. Thanks man. Hey Larry, how did you guys come up with the name the lost souls well you know I look back Mike and I are there we were. You talk about God. I'm weak in Ohio that rock 'n' roll determines going tonight by that with the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame. You and I would just following like you, I was lost in an we gathered after we saw the Beatles on a television show on Sunday night and the next thing you know we start taking music lessons we formed abandoned that we work pretty big inner-city leaders. Other names that I could mention, but we were big but you know what we were lost.

We were in darkness and confusion and then next thing you know we transmission you median people like Mike Bickel and Chez Anna and Bob Weiner to go get oak eat green we went we were being apprehended by the Lord in a supernatural way.

And now we know that was the Jesus movement but God did a fresh work at that time music was an integral part of it, but you and I multitudes up believing for another great awakening, a move of God, Jesus, but whatever you want to call it.

And I don't touch on that big event coming up but Mike, I can't tell you dance your question one of us is that they were about the lost golden for that sound like a good night since is did you okay so obviously there is some humor in that the did you guys feel that you are lost you conscious of being lost.

My guy when I think of it that was reading in devotions this morning and you know that the spirit of disobedience at work in an unbeliever and without open living in darkness and I want I mean I think of music I played songs we played in music I was listening to games of it. There was a spiritual law that darkness, but I thank God they got my car breaks down. I'm driving at the age of 20. The Cleveland big University and a black minister picked me up.

Give me an invitation to inner-city church and Mike that was the beginning of it for me. I mean I went I didn't because he was kind enough to give me a lift and I heard the gospel and I started to meet others divine appointment.

People shared the gospel and eventually shortly thereafter I given my like Jesus and I found myself catapulted into a move of God that Was Taking Pl. in America and people were being converted people were radically sharing your faith music was was birthed in creative ways and Mike.

My passion is all God would so many today.

May we experience another intervention of God.

I know there's nonnegotiable, thanking me that happened, but that's what were believing for Mike and Larry, you, you written about music. The power of music and what kids listen to the influence it has, of course, hip-hop, rap, massively influential in America today and in fact at the Grammys lesson is this really great getting up and there are others artists and wouldn't come to pop artist because they feel that their genre is powerful influentials of this has been sufficiently recognized in the Grammys and he got up to basis and we don't need the awards of your people coming out following you.

That's that's all you need but I think many times we fail to recognize how influential music can be parents don't realize the lyrics.

Kids listen to that the power that has all of the YouTube videos that have been watch the most. I mean not lose the times that hundreds of boys.

At times, but several billion times specific videos of their virtually all music videos. There's a reason for this so open us up a little bit what folks are listening to what they should be concerned about in terms of music today. Well I think you are kind of the wave a banner) after young people you know when they were falling. We have a direct treatment for Thessalonian F everything hold onto the good and avoid every kind of evil and so we have misdirected your clear that what detrimental to our walk with God on and so today you know, just like were thankful next click walked out there pornography or quick weight or iPhone. Walked out without entering here. We got to be vigilant.

Our adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion date. You know, anything that would be or anyone that would be condoning what they violent back executive authority well log the profanity immodesty DOL can be think you'll propaganda the occult need to be avoided and we can't be afraid. And I know I talked with parent belief they will locate.

We all have our music and everything like that. It looked on top of rap… Not like the old ballot down on open with their common and I don't want to Mike by what out there. I don't Bible but mom seven point read on a platinum selling all the 900 I never even heard of $300,000 necklace you got 15 of 15 million Instagram forward. If music is stream two point know you kindly call him the faith of a generation. Well, he professed to be a Christian like bisexual Lady Gaga. What I read the rest of the article. In the end. Knowing how misguided or pornographic videos did affect K for the 13 you'll girl he was arrested currently in prison right now serving 32 years and he accused of felony drug dealing arm robbery murder and I think my God young people are listening to this and they don't realize it and we got the mom and they keep our guard up. Because it's not the innocent self that has been in the in the past and you know I hope everybody were but this year everybody's excited in the music on the same one stock 50th anniversary coming up.

I think if in August and there's a romantic recollection of the of that event in New York and 400,000 young people in the musical creativity, but I saw a documentary on and there was unrestrained nudity, promiscuity three point drug so many of the performers that tragic death so I brought with you to alert people not to put fear in people's hearts, but the faith we've got to be careful about the music that we are listening to work. I hear Kate walking and also without open, giving them creative alternative in our favorite black beginner. When I first came to the Lord so innocent and ignorant. I remember there was a with the Beatles were so big and Harrison came out with a song of the Beatles, my sweet Lord and I purchased it. I thought that the great nonthinking it for weeks about my sweet Lord. Then one day some got if you think about and I've been here Jesus said no no no you gave me the rude awakening that the thong invoking and celebrating Lord Creek.yahoo that you know and all I can. No figure, but we have a better way and we need to be careful my wife only to the other day and I had to look it up. I didn't realize it, Larry. Remember when Moses came down from the mount.

He was so angry when he heard the people thinking you saw the idolatry. People were dancing and she fit when you know what the people were naked. They didn't even close. I like the way when we reward and I looked it up in King James number 30 so that kind of at your that can be replicated today and get out. Thought any of the Grammys.

How much there that is idolatry. Even though they think Bannock like a lot of it I dictate my God I was away at one time I like to talk and it wasn't like it was want will, but we've got to be on guard of powerful medium of both of know what it's like when we are met because phone from out young people really think you meant Exodus 3225 it's a numbers you can James. This is a naked of the translation say unrestrained you know that the fact of the matter is that when you think of Woodstock.

It's the epitome of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Those things have gone hand-in-hand the counterculture revolution cannot happen without music. Revolutionary changes continue to happen in negative ways or positive voice with help of music hey Larry, we just got minute half before the break, but what is happening just in a few days in Orlando like Margaret critical everybody listen, I'm going my daughter February 23.

You can look at the spend out or get some massive gathering of individuals that are coming. We think price €50,000 with American and circuit rider quite formation working together. Therefore, a day of prayer and worship and impartation because we believe is Billy Graham left the scene.

There's a mantle coming afresh on the church and it's an opportunity to receive fresh vision impartation and be no commission and it's going to be a great event. I want to extend the invite. It's good to be at the camping world Stadium in Orlando February 23 at Saturday the fifth coming and those of us could say we need another fresh move of God in the nation. Another Jesus movement take consider pray about coming and being a part of what's going to be a historic event in Orlando on February 23 are friends in the whole goal is to get people out preaching the gospel sin that I transpose him on the mission field hey Larry great being with you again. May the Lord's grace and blessing theology.

Thanks so much things help us. It's the line of fire with your host activist author internationals leader 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 hey excerpts read excerpts of an interview Justin Bieber did in Vogue magazine Haley and talked about how he'd abstain from sex for year before getting married and then pushed the marriage want to get married quickly so you can forward to sin with Haley save sex for marriage, etc. obviously up if you praying for you while people pray for the think about them with influence that they have on young people pray for them to continue to the Lord more deeply and experience deeper transformation and be a better examples of purity, morality, and you also are glad to hear every good report or positive report because they're influential, especially Seesmic, a Justin Bieber tremendously influential dress a certain way because we dress like that at certain like his whack like that will maybe they'll be encouraged to consider abstinence, but I have an article that I wrote about that that will be up on the stream and about 1015 minutes will be tweeting about posting on Facebook as well, but how about we give away a free copy or two of my brand-new book, the power of music.

Don't call you don't call yet. There's number the weight when it is time to call but don't call yet 866-34-TRUTH 784 866-34-TRUTH so here's the deal. I really felt moved by the Lord to write this to get the book into the hands of every music lover every worship lover. Every songwriter every worship leader. Every lyricist, every musician to say let's look through history, classical music, rock music hip-hop heavy metal civil rights movement. Let's look through history.
