Q&A: The Man of Sin, Ash Wednesday, and the Mark of the Beast

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/23/25), Hank answers the following questions:

According to 2 Thessalonians 2, the Man of Sin will be revealed and will sit in the temple. Is this a future event? Is the Man of Lawlessness the same as the Beast of Revelation? Richard - Braselton, GA (1:04)
What is your take on Ash Wednesday? Is it biblical? Jesse - San Antonio, TX (5:58)
Aren’t the ashes placed on the forehead related to the mark of the beast? Jesse - San Antonio, TX (7:12)
You said that the mark of the beast is not literal. What about Revelation 13:17, where it says that no one will be able to buy or sell without it? Travis - Everett, WA (15:12)
