Summary

The phrase replacement theologian is designed to be an insult. It is the ultimate pejorative leveled at those who deny the heart of dispensationalism—namely, that God has two distinct peoples, one of whom must be raptured (the church) before God can continue His plan with the other (Israel). So—what is replacement theology?For more on this check out the special print edition of the Christian Research Journal entitled “A Biblical Response to Christian Zionism.” Click the following link for more information: A Biblical Response to Christian Zionism – Christian Research Institute. https://www.equip.org/product/special-print-issue-of-the-christian-research-journal-a-biblical-response-to-christian-zionism-hup/

0:00.0	And welcome to another edition of the Hank Unplugged podcast, a special teaching edition for today,
0:28.9	which is going to focus on a question, that question being, what is replacement theology?
0:37.2	By the way, if you enjoy our podcast, please subscribe, rate, review.

0:52.6	It's titled A Biblical Response to Christian Zionism
0:56.2	deals with a host of questions that go to the heart of Christian Zionism. And at the very heart
1:03.9	of Christian Zionism is this notion that God has two distinct people, one of which must be raptured before God can consummate his plan with the
1:15.6	other. And this is what I write in a section of the journal, which is kind of a good prologue to

1:56.5	And now, well, now the ultimate pejorative phrase has been coined, coined for those who dare to deny the heart of dispensational eschatology.
2:08.9	You know what they're called?
2:10.9	They're called replacement theologians, and that's not all.
2:17.4	John Hagee, for one, very popular dispensationalist, Christian Zionist, says that replacement
