On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/06/26), Hank focuses on Holy Week, with Christians in the Eastern Church celebrating Palm Sunday yesterday while Christians in the West celebrated Christ’s resurrection, concluding their Holy Week. Holy Week for Christians in the East begins the day before Palm Sunday. It’s the day christened by the ancient Church, Lazarus Saturday. It is on that day that we remember afresh that our Lord Jesus Christ raised Lazarus, a historical reality that points forward to the universal resurrection of all humanity. The next day, Palm Sunday marks the commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem announced the establishment of the Kingdom of God and a foretaste of the time that He will gather His perfected bride and carry her over the threshold of Jordan into the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. On Holy Monday, the fig tree is set before us as a reminder of the danger inherent in having an appearance of godliness but being devoid of its reality. A reminder to be vigilant and bear the fruits of righteousness and repentance. Hank also answers the following questions: If you believe that salvation is “once saved, always saved,” would this mean your free will no longer exists? Tim - Keller, TX (15:49) To me, the term replacement theology seems to be an accurate term as opposed to a misnomer, would you not say? Mark - Vancouver, BC (21:10)

[0:59] Speaker 1: here's Hank, Hannah.
[1:00] Speaker 2: And thank you very much. Randy. Do you remember you
[1:02] Speaker 2: can also contact us via the mail at box eighty
[1:05] Speaker 2: five hundred, Charlotte, North Carolina, zip code two eight two
[1:09] Speaker 2: seven one. We will go to your calls in the
[1:11] Speaker 2: second half of the broadcast today. Right now, however, I
[1:16] Speaker 2: want to focus on Holy Week. Yesterday, Christians in the
[1:22] Speaker 2: ancient Eastern Church celebrated Palm Sunday for Western Christians who
[1:28] Speaker 2: just finished the celebration of Holy Week, it may be
[1:32] Speaker 2: valuable to reexamine the majesty of the week that was.
[1:38] Speaker 2: Because Holy Week begins the day before Palm Sunday. It's
[1:44] Speaker 2: the day christened by the ancient Church, Lazarus Saturday, and
[1:51] Speaker 2: on that day we remember afresh that our Lord Jesus
[1:58] Speaker 2: Christ raised Lazarus. This is a historical reality that points
[2:03] Speaker 2: forward to the universal resurrection of all of humanity. Of course,
[2:10] Speaker 2: Saint John's record of the resurrection of Lazarus is not
[2:15] Speaker 2: a singular event. Saint Matthew he chronicles graves being opened,
[2:23] Speaker 2: saints who slept being raised from death, going into the
[2:28] Speaker 2: Old City of Jerusalem, all of this afetaste of resurrected
[2:34] Speaker 2: humanity entering the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven
[2:39] Speaker 2: from good And of course Saint Mark records the raising
[2:43] Speaker 2: of Jerius's daughter, and Saint Luke adds the raising of
[2:48] Speaker 2: the son of the widow of Nane. All four examples
[2:53] Speaker 2: confirm Ezekiel's vision of dry bones scattered in a valley,
[3:00] Speaker 2: dry and discarded. The bones were in danger of disintegrating
[3:04] Speaker 2: into dust. And then Ezekiel prophesied, just as he had
[3:10] Speaker 2: been commanded to do. And suddenly there was a noise.
[3:13] Speaker 2: There was a rattling sound, and bone came together, bone
[3:18] Speaker 2: to bone. I looks at Ezekiel in tendons, and flesh
[3:22] Speaker 2: appeared on them, and skin covered them, and there was
[3:25] Speaker 2: no breath in them. Again, Ezekiel prophesied just as he
[3:30] Speaker 2: had been commanded to do, and breath entered the bodies.
[3:34] Speaker 2: They came to life, They stood up on their feet,
[3:38] Speaker 2: a vast army. Ezekiel's resurrection imagery finds ultimate resolution not
[3:46] Speaker 2: only in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but the resurrection
[3:50] Speaker 2: of Christians, the antetype that fulfills the entire mosaic of
[3:55] Speaker 2: Old Testament resurrection prophecies left no doubt about coming resurrection.
[4:02] Speaker 2: And if Christ had not himself been resurrected, the promise
[4:07] Speaker 2: that he would resurrect dry bones in scattered graves, well
[4:13] Speaker 2: that would be as empty as the tomb, guaranteeing its fulfillment.
[4:18] Speaker 2: Lazarus Saturday marks a time of transition, transition between the
[4:24] Speaker 2: exactitudes of the Great Fast and the events of Holy Week,
[4:29] Speaker 2: and all of that began on Palm Sunday yesterday. Palm
[4:35] Speaker 2: Sunday marks the commemoration of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
[4:42] Speaker 2: Jewish nationalism on that day was in full throat. The
[4:48] Speaker 2: multitudes cried out, Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed
[4:56] Speaker 2: is he who comes in the name of the Lord
[5:00] Speaker 2: Hosanna in the Highest. Those who pressed upon Jesus on
[5:05] Speaker 2: Palm Sunday were weary of Roman oppression. They were anxious,
[5:10] Speaker 2: they were stressed out. They expectantly urged the miracle working
[5:16] Speaker 2: Messiah to lead a righteous rebellion against their oppressive occupiers.
[5:23] Speaker 2: If Jesus could raise the dead, they could just as
[5:27] Speaker 2: easily liberate them from the scourge of Rome. He could
[5:32] Speaker 2: resurrect the Davidic kingdom, a kingdom that was torn asunder
[5:37] Speaker 2: by Assyrian and Babylonian superpowers. Jesus, however, had not come
[5:43] Speaker 2: to usher in an earthly theocratic kingdom. Oh God in
[5:50] Speaker 2: human flesh, had come instead to bring the Kingdom of
[5:54] Speaker 2: Heaven down to earth, to fanguish the spiritual force of
[6:01] Speaker 2: evil in the heavenly realms. As Palm Sunday breaks a
[6:07] Speaker 2: forty day Lenten fast, we two face the Satanic temptation
[6:13] Speaker 2: to gratify ourselves with all that this world has to offer,
[6:20] Speaker 2: to live for that which perishes, rather than to for
[6:25] Speaker 2: that which is eternal, to live for pride rather than
[6:29] Speaker 2: to live for humility, for gaining pleasure rather than giving
[6:35] Speaker 2: to the poor. For a fixation on earthly vanities as
[6:41] Speaker 2: opposed to a ferocious focus on eternal verities. Jesus wrote
[6:49] Speaker 2: into Jerusalem and humility and peace. This was in fulfillment
[6:53] Speaker 2: of Zachariah, who prophesied, Behold, your king comes to you.
[7:01] Speaker 2: He is righteous and saving, he's gentle, He's mounted upon
[7:08] Speaker 2: a donkey, even a young fool. Christ's entrance into Jerusalem
[7:15] Speaker 2: announced the establishment of the Kingdom of God. It was
[7:20] Speaker 2: a foretaste of the time that he will gather his
[7:25] Speaker 2: perfected bride and carry her over the threshold of Jordan
[7:31] Speaker 2: into the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God.
[7:36] Speaker 2: And so in the midst of temptation, we must ever
[7:43] Speaker 2: remember that Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem on a
[7:48] Speaker 2: horse and a chariot. He did not come as a
[7:50] Speaker 2: conquering king, but he rode into Jerusalem on an animal
[7:55] Speaker 2: that signified peace and humility. The message is not one
[8:00] Speaker 2: that conveys earthly might, but rather the glorious, heavenly reality
[8:05] Speaker 2: that the meek will inherit the earth. And today today
[8:10] Speaker 2: is Holy Monday, a day which impresses a stark contrast
[8:16] Speaker 2: upon the collective consciousness of the Christian community. It's the
[8:21] Speaker 2: contrast between a fruitless fig tree and a faithful, fruitful
[8:26] Speaker 2: type of Christ. Jesus had entered Jerusalem to the chorus
[8:31] Speaker 2: of the crowds crying out Hosanna in the Highest and
[8:34] Speaker 2: after cleansing the temple, a temple that had devolved into
[8:38] Speaker 2: a den of thieves, he had healed the blind and
[8:41] Speaker 2: the lame, and thereafter he had retired to the city
[8:44] Speaker 2: of Bethany. In the morning, as he was returning from
[8:48] Speaker 2: Bethany to Jerusalem, he was hungry, and seeing a fig
[8:52] Speaker 2: tree by the road, he came to it and found
[8:55] Speaker 2: nothing on it, nothing but leaves. And he said to it,
[8:59] Speaker 2: let no fruit grow on you ever again. And immediately
[9:03] Speaker 2: the fig tree withered away. Like the chief priests and
[9:07] Speaker 2: the temple, the fig tree gave the appearance of being fruitful,
[9:13] Speaker 2: but in reality the tree was devoid of fruit. On
[9:18] Speaker 2: Holy Monday, the fig tree is set before us once
[9:23] Speaker 2: again as a reminder of the danger inherent in having
[9:27] Speaker 2: an appearance of godliness but being devoid of its inner reality,
[9:34] Speaker 2: a reminder to be vigilant and to bear fruits of
[9:37] Speaker 2: righteousness and repentance. In contrast to the fig tree, the
[9:43] Speaker 2: patriarch Joseph is emblematic of a fruitful servant, vigilant prepared.
[9:49] Speaker 2: He was left for dead by jealous brothers and subsequently
[9:53] Speaker 2: sold into Egyptian slavery. After trial and tribulation, he was
[9:58] Speaker 2: raised up in order to see save his brothers and
[10:01] Speaker 2: vicariously all of Israel from great famine in the land.
[10:06] Speaker 2: Though suffering unjustly at the hands of his own, he
[10:09] Speaker 2: yet saved them. Through his sufferings. Joseph prefigures the life
[10:14] Speaker 2: of Christ. He provides an exemply model for all of
[10:19] Speaker 2: us to emulate. When Potiphar's wife sought to seduce him,
[10:24] Speaker 2: he spurned her advances and was imprisoned, and that underscores
[10:29] Speaker 2: the reality that all who desire to live godly in
[10:32] Speaker 2: Christ will suffer vilification and persecution. Will be back with
[10:39] Speaker 2: answers to your question in the second half of the broadcast.
[10:43] Speaker 1: The Church of Almighty God, also known as Eastern Lightning,
[10:47] Speaker 1: is a socially subversive pseudo Christian cult. It follows a
[10:51] Speaker 1: self proclaimed female Christ whose heretical doctrines incite violence, denying
[10:58] Speaker 1: the Trinity and Biblical authority. Eastern Lightning uses psychological intimidation,
[11:03] Speaker 1: disrupts families, and has even perpetrated physical assaults. In graphic language,
[11:09] Speaker 1: the counterfeit Christ exhorts followers to abandon their families and
[11:14] Speaker 1: devote themselves to recruiting new converts, branding those who refuse
[11:18] Speaker 1: as worthless. You can read more about the iron rod
[11:22] Speaker 1: of this false Almighty God in a special print issue

[11:53] Speaker 1: after this. Has God Spoken? Are the words of Scripture
[12:09] Speaker 1: merely human in origin? Or are they in fact the
[12:12] Speaker 1: very words of God himself? Three years in the making
[12:16] Speaker 1: and based on two decades of research and reflection, Hank
[12:20] Speaker 1: Henagraph's monumental book, Has God Spoken answers what is surely
[12:25] Speaker 1: the most important question facing our world. In Has God Spoken?
[12:29] Speaker 1: Memorable proofs of the Bible's divine inspiration, Hank counters the
[12:33] Speaker 1: contentions of the Bible attackers and clearly shows that belief
[12:37] Speaker 1: in the Holy Scriptures is not a guess or wishful thinking.
[12:41] Speaker 1: It is the only logical conclusion after an honest examination
[12:44] Speaker 1: of overwhelming evidence. Order Has God Spoken? From the Christian

[13:01] Speaker 3: Hank Hanigraph has dedicated his life to defending truth. Because
[13:04] Speaker 3: Truth Matters. Yet, an encounter with Christians in the underground
[13:08] Speaker 3: Church of China left Hanograph contemplating his Christian experience. They
[13:12] Speaker 3: were experiencing something beyond truth. They were experiencing life. Truth matters.
[13:18] Speaker 3: Life matters More by Hank Hanigraph is two books in one,
[13:21] Speaker 3: Because Truth Matters. Part one equips Christians to defend the
[13:24] Speaker 3: essential truths of the historic Christian faith. In Part two,
[13:28] Speaker 3: Hank explains why life matters more and how we can
[13:31] Speaker 3: experience the height of human existence union with God. Prepare
[13:35] Speaker 3: to move past intellectually knowing about God to experientially knowing

[15:44] Speaker 1: answer Man Broadcast and your host, Hank Hanagraph.
[15:47] Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Randy. Let's go to our callers.
[15:51] Speaker 2: First up is Tim. He's listening in Keller, Texas on
[15:55] Speaker 2: the web.
[15:55] Speaker 4: Hi Tim, Hey Hanks. My question would be I was
[16:01] Speaker 4: having a debate with friend and if I was basically saying,
[16:07] Speaker 4: if you believe, and this isn't whether assurance of salvation
[16:11] Speaker 4: is true, it's just what it implies. If you believe
[16:15] Speaker 4: that you are, you know your once saved? Always say
[16:18] Speaker 4: does this mean that your free will no longer exist? Afterwards?
[16:23] Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that you can pour any kind
[16:27] Speaker 2: of meaning like that into proper Christian theology, because I
[16:32] Speaker 2: think that proper Christian theology is a theology in which
[16:37] Speaker 2: we have the ability to act or to act otherwise,
[16:41] Speaker 2: So we can either love the grace of God or
[16:45] Speaker 2: spurn the grace of God. And the Book of Hebrews
[16:50] Speaker 2: actually has a warning that there were Jews who, like Judas,
[16:54] Speaker 2: tasted God's goodness and yet turned from his grace. And
[17:00] Speaker 2: that is a sober warning and it does amplify the
[17:05] Speaker 2: fact that we can apostatize or walk away from salvation.
[17:11] Speaker 2: Now there's a sense in which this is somewhat hypothetical.
[17:15] Speaker 2: Now I did give a biblical context, but I say
[17:18] Speaker 2: hypothetical in this sense. It's hypothetical in that if you
[17:24] Speaker 2: have truly tasted God's goodness, if you have been enlightened
[17:28] Speaker 2: through baptism, if you had been empowered through chrismation or
[17:34] Speaker 2: confirmation in the Western Church, if you have been energized
[17:39] Speaker 2: through the Eucharist, if you are receiving the graces by
[17:44] Speaker 2: which you are transformed from one glory to another, it
[17:48] Speaker 2: seems inconceivable that you would walk away from the grace
[17:56] Speaker 2: that is transforming you. And that's why I think in
[18:00] Speaker 2: Philippians praises God for a confidence, and it's the confidence
[18:06] Speaker 2: that if you have a good work begun in you,
[18:13] Speaker 2: begun in you by God, God will carry on that
[18:17] Speaker 2: good work to completion. So that's why I say it's
[18:21] Speaker 2: somewhat hypothetical. I could not imagine walking away from the
[18:26] Speaker 2: grace of God, because that grace of God has transformed me,
[18:33] Speaker 2: and that grace is perpetual, and that grace is received
[18:37] Speaker 2: within the community of faith. So there are a lot
[18:41] Speaker 2: of people, I think, that have a form of godliness.
[18:45] Speaker 2: There are a lot of lone ranger Christians who say,
[18:47] Speaker 2: I've prayed to prayer, I now have an assurance of salvation.
[18:51] Speaker 2: But you know, all they've done is they've, in essence,
[18:55] Speaker 2: bought a card that gets them to Heaven and gets
[18:58] Speaker 2: them out of hell. And so their faith is punctiliar.
[19:03] Speaker 2: It's not a process. Biblical faith is always a process.
[19:07] Speaker 2: It's growing in grace and never in isolation, always within
[19:11] Speaker 2: the community of faith.
[19:15] Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, I see what you're saying. But in
[19:19] Speaker 4: a hypothetical scenario, it would be true that you could
[19:26] Speaker 4: commit a prophecy. It's just unlikely.
[19:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. And I think there's
[19:31] Speaker 2: biblical warrant for saying that, and I think the classic
[19:35] Speaker 2: passage for this is Hubres chapter six.
[19:40] Speaker 4: Okay, thank you. And also so it's hard to reconcile
[19:46] Speaker 4: free will in salvation if you do believe in assured salvation.
[19:52] Speaker 4: If you believe in assurance of salvation, what kind of
[19:56] Speaker 4: will then do you have if you can't lose well.
[20:00] Speaker 2: Assurance in salvation, as I mentioned earlier, is given to
[20:05] Speaker 2: us because God, who begins a good work in us,
[20:09] Speaker 2: will carry that good work onto completion. That's what gives
[20:13] Speaker 2: us assurance. And that's why we have a promise in
[20:16] Speaker 2: First Corinthians chapter one that Christ will keep us strong
[20:21] Speaker 2: to the end. Of course, we have to partake of
[20:24] Speaker 2: the means of grace that He provides us. You also
[20:27] Speaker 2: have June twenty four guaranteeing that God is able to
[20:30] Speaker 2: keep you from falling, is able to present you before
[20:34] Speaker 2: His glorious presence without fault. And my favorite of all
[20:39] Speaker 2: passages is found in the divinest composition of humankind is
[20:44] Speaker 2: it's sometimes called the Book of Ephesians, which provides and
[20:48] Speaker 2: these aren't my words, these are the words of the
[20:50] Speaker 2: apostle Paul surety that you are marked in Him with
[20:54] Speaker 2: the seal. That Seala is the promised Holy Spirit. The
[20:58] Speaker 2: Holy Spirit is a posit guaranteeing our inheritance until the
[21:04] Speaker 2: redemption of those who are God's possession.
[21:08] Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thank you, you got it.
[21:10] Speaker 2: Thank you for your call. Mark in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
[21:13] Speaker 5: Hi, Mark, I guess sir, you know a lot of
[21:16] Speaker 5: people will say, like, for example, replacement theology as a misnomer.
[21:21] Speaker 5: Now I believe as you do, like I reject obviously
[21:25] Speaker 5: John Darby theology, as you do. And but usually the
[21:29] Speaker 5: term replacement theology is a term which is spoken by
[21:35] Speaker 5: or given by those who are in the other camp,
[21:37] Speaker 5: that is, the John Darby camp. But to me, the
[21:40] Speaker 5: term replacement theology actually seems to be an adequate term.
[21:46] Speaker 2: Would you not say, an inadequate term?
[21:49] Speaker 5: No, no way, an accurate term as opposed to misnomer.
[21:52] Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's an accurate term at all.
[21:55] Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is that in the
[21:58] Speaker 2: dispensational camp. In fact, the heart of dispensationalism is that
[22:03] Speaker 2: God has two distinct people, one of whom must be
[22:07] Speaker 2: raptured before God can continue his plan with the other.
[22:12] Speaker 2: The problem with that is that biblically, God has always
[22:17] Speaker 2: had one chosen people, one covenant community, beautifully connected by
[22:22] Speaker 2: the Cross and illustrated by the Apostle Paul by means
[22:26] Speaker 2: of a cultivated olive trae. So the notion that God
[22:30] Speaker 2: has two people, two distinct people, one that can replace
[22:35] Speaker 2: the other is set in opposition to the clear teaching
[22:40] Speaker 2: of scripture.
[22:41] Speaker 5: But hey, can I quickly just reach you my definition
[22:44] Speaker 5: very quickly, like my definition of replacement theology to me
[22:48] Speaker 5: is the theological teaching that God's New Covenant with the
[22:52] Speaker 5: Israel of God through Jesus Christ, has forever and completely
[22:55] Speaker 5: and absolutely and permanently replaced old Covenant Israel, which was
[22:59] Speaker 5: jude with New Covenant Israel, which is the Church of
[23:03] Speaker 5: Jesus Christ. So in that sense, the term replacement fits
[23:08] Speaker 5: well in that sense. Correct.
[23:10] Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, And I think that there's
[23:11] Speaker 2: a flaw in the premise of what you're saying, because
[23:15] Speaker 2: if you look at what the Apostle Paul says, there
[23:20] Speaker 2: is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
[23:25] Speaker 2: there is neither male nor female, For you are all
[23:29] Speaker 2: one in Christ. And if you are in Christ, then
[23:35] Speaker 2: you are Abraham's seed and an air according to the promise.
[23:40] Speaker 2: So in the Old Testament, Father Abraham is the father
[23:45] Speaker 2: of many nations, and Paul uses Abraham as an example
[23:51] Speaker 2: that God only has one seed, the seed of Abraham.
[23:55] Speaker 2: He goes to great pains in Galatians chapter three to
[23:58] Speaker 2: say not seeds place, but seed singular, which is to
[24:03] Speaker 2: say that if you are in Christ, you are the
[24:07] Speaker 2: seed of Abraham. Whether you're Jew or Greek, it doesn't
[24:11] Speaker 2: matter what your nationality or the epic of time in
[24:14] Speaker 2: which you lived, Whether your slaver free has nothing to
[24:19] Speaker 2: do with your position in life. Whether your male or
[24:23] Speaker 2: female has nothing to do with your gender. So my
[24:26] Speaker 2: argument is from the very beginning, God's one chosen people,
[24:32] Speaker 2: revealed in the Old Testament is consummated in the New Testament,
[24:37] Speaker 2: and the two covenants really are type and antetype. And
[24:43] Speaker 2: so why is the blood of Jesus Christ better than
[24:47] Speaker 2: the blood of bulls and goats? Because Christ is the
[24:49] Speaker 2: fulfillment of the Old Testament. They saw Christ through types
[24:55] Speaker 2: and shadows, we see his reality. So I don't think
[24:58] Speaker 2: that there's an old Israel and a new Israel. There's
[25:01] Speaker 2: the Israel of God, and that constitutes people from every tongue, tribe, nation,
[25:08] Speaker 2: people throughout the world.
[25:10] Speaker 5: Right, Okay, thank you, thank you.
[25:12] Speaker 2: You're welcome. And I think that the term replacement is
[25:16] Speaker 2: highly ironic because the very people who wield the term
[25:20] Speaker 2: as an insult believe the mistaken notion that Israel will
[25:24] Speaker 2: replace as soon to be raptured Church during seven horrific
[25:29] Speaker 2: years of tribulation, And ironically, those who suffer the rebuke
[25:34] Speaker 2: are repulsed by the very rhetoric of replacement. Also ironic
[25:40] Speaker 2: is the fact that those who are now claiming that
[25:43] Speaker 2: replacement theologians are guilty of spreading the message of anti
[25:47] Speaker 2: Semitism are themselves in the process of hurting Jews into
[25:51] Speaker 2: the Holy Land because they firmly believe that those Jews
[25:54] Speaker 2: will soon be slaughtered in a bloodbath that exceeds even
[25:59] Speaker 2: that of Hitler's Holocaust. If you don't believe that, read
[26:03] Speaker 2: the Late Great Planet Earth or the Left Behind series.

[27:05] Speaker 1: God Spoken? Are the words of Scripture merely human in origin?
[27:10] Speaker 1: Or are they, in fact the very words of God himself.
[27:15] Speaker 1: Three years in the making and based on two decades
[27:18] Speaker 1: of research and reflection, Hank Henagraph's monumental book Has God
[27:23] Speaker 1: Spoken answers what is surely the most important question facing

[27:31] Speaker 1: Bible's Divine inspiration, Hank counters the contentions of the Bible
[27:35] Speaker 1: attackers and clearly shows that belief in the Holy Scriptures
[27:38] Speaker 1: is not a guess or wishful thinking. It is the
[27:41] Speaker 1: only logical conclusion after an honest examination of overwhelming evidence
