The transcript is a summary of a live show hosted by Rick B2T on his platform. It covers current events (as of early March 2026), personal opinions, sponsor mentions, political takes, and a transition to faith content. Here’s a structured summary in sections with titles and bullet points, covering all main news stories and key statements without missing details. The language is straightforward 11th-grade level.

Show Introduction and Setup

• Rick B2T welcomes viewers and says the show will empower Christian patriots for the next few hours.
• The first hour focuses on news, especially the Iran war and related developments.
• He mentions a new setup he’s excited about and asks for patience while adjusting things.
• Plans include discussing Iran ships sunk (including one by MK 48 torpedo), then moving to WordNWorship.

Iran War and Military Actions (Operation Epic Fury)

Naval and Torpedo Strikes

• Rick shows a video of an Iranian ship hit by an MK48 torpedo (he calls it MP48 or new MP48), saying it’s wild to see.
• A US submarine sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena with one MK48 torpedo in the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka — the first torpedo sinking of an enemy ship since WWII.
• The US has struck or sunk over 20 Iranian ships total.
• He claims Iran’s navy is pretty much decimated — most of their 19 or so ships are gone, submarines damaged, giving the US full naval superiority along with air and space force dominance.
• This dramatically reduces threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Missile and Drone Attacks

• Iran launched missiles in all directions, attacking Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Saudi Arabia, US embassies/bases, oil wells, and more — even Cyprus (British base) and Israel heavily.
• Missile/drone attacks from Iran dropped sharply (ballistic missiles from 350 on day 1 to ~40 recently; drone swarms from hundreds down to ~45) as US/Israel destroy launchers, factories, and storage.

US/Israel Counter-Offensives and Air Superiority

• US/Israel pounding IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) facilities, police stations (linked to killing protesters), missile sites, and more across Iran (Tehran, Yazd, etc.).
• US has air superiority, winning decisively, expected to control airspace fully soon; strikes are 24/7, ahead of schedule on ~20,000 targets.

Ground War and Coalition Developments

• Ground war has started, including Kurds from Iraq launching offensives into western Iran (thousands of fighters involved); some reports say US/Trump coordinated but no weapons were provided.
• He says this backfired because of Trump’s Abraham Accords coalition; now non-extreme Islamic countries are uniting against Iran, with Saudi Arabia possibly starting attacks on Iran.

Other War Highlights and Personal Notes

• US hunted down and killed an Iranian who plotted to assassinate Trump.
• Rick believes this could lead to the end of the Islamic Republic (1979–2026), with Persians possibly overpowering the regime as police/IRGC weaken.
• He prays for people like Mayor Crowley (in Israel) and notes her Zoom canceled.
• US has casualties: several fallen soldiers named (from 103rd Sustainment Command), with more notifications pending; Rick prays for Gold Star families.
• Pete Hegseth (Defense Secretary) gave an update on Operation Epic Fury, calling it a success so far but noting sacrifices.

Political and Domestic News

Praise for Cross-Party Voices

• Rick praises John Fetterman (Democrat) for speaking common sense on Iran — says it’s good the world is safer without Iran’s nuclear threat or evil leaders; calls him a thorn in the deep state’s side.
• Mitch McConnell reportedly said something similar to Fetterman (shocking Rick).
• He views politics as uni-party elites vs. awake Americans, not just right vs. left.

Trump and Military Messaging

• Trump retruthed the torpedo video, showing military superiority.

Texas Republican Primary Runoff

• Texas Republican primary runoff: John Cornyn (called a complete RINO by Rick, anti-Trump in past, said Trump couldn’t win 2024) vs. Ken Paxton (MAGA supporter, election integrity fighter).
• Neither got 50%, so runoff in May; Trump posted he will endorse soon and wants the non-endorsed to drop out to avoid division and focus on beating Democrats.
• Rick hopes Trump endorses Paxton but wonders if Trump knows something (like an October surprise) and might control a RINO better than risking a loss.

Other Primary and Election Results

• Trump won most endorsements in primaries across states (big margins in Texas).
• Some other RINOs and anti-Trump figures lost primaries (including Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat).

Congressional and Policy Actions

• Senate vote on limiting Trump’s war powers failed (Republicans blocked it); Rick calls it a Democrat game to paint Trump as autocrat.
• Lindsey Graham pushes for taking out Hezbollah too, but Rick says Israel can handle it and calls Graham a controlled RINO/warmonger.
• House Oversight on Tim Walz admin knowing about fraud but not acting; wider investigations into Ilhan Omar, Minnesota, Chicago, Colorado, California voter fraud.
• 15% global tariff starts this week; more oil/energy announcements to stabilize markets despite war.

Miscellaneous Political Notes

• Trump attending White House Correspondents’ Dinner (stunning twist).

Sponsor and Personal Health

• Sponsored by AgeWell (televital product) to keep telomeres from shrinking for better aging (cognitive clarity, hair, skin, mitochondria, immune, sleep, joints, stamina).
• Rick credits it (plus detox from blessteach.com) plus Dr. Group/Dr. Tenpenny intro for feeling like he’s in his 40s in his 60s.
• Link at

Faith, Prayer, and Show Transition

• Rick stresses spiritual battle; prays for Trump’s/Rubio’s/Fetterman’s safety, exposure of deep state/RINOs.
• Praises Amanda Grace (from prior show) and Chris’s prayers.
• Moving to WordNWorship on Growing Your Faith channel (or PraiseNPrayer on FaithNFreedomTV).
• Series on Church Age/preparing harvest (day 5: hope in rapture, delivered from wrath).
• Timeline teaching on pre-trib rapture views: what happens to believers/unbelievers (alive/dead) at rapture, tribulation stages, bema seat, millennial kingdom, new heaven/earth.
• Encourages thumbs-up, sharing, and joining channels (FaithNFreedomTV 24/7, etc.).
• Ends with a call to stand strong for faith and freedom.

Day 5: Hope in the Rapture – Delivered from Wrath

By Rick Rene of Blessed2Teach Ministries

Introduction

The Church Age holds a glorious promise: the rapture. This is when Christ returns in the air to catch up His Body—the Church—to meet Him, sparing believers from the coming Day of the Lord’s wrath and the judgments of the Tribulation. This event is our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:13), bringing comfort in grief over loved ones who have passed, purifying our daily lives, and sparking urgent evangelism. As signs increase—wars, deception, moral decline, and natural disasters—the hope of the rapture reminds us that the door for harvest remains open now, though it may close soon. We examine key Scriptures that describe this sudden, comforting event and its call to sober readiness and bold soul-winning.

Why This Matters Today

Global chaos is growing: rumors of wars, economic instability, systems of technological control, and spiritual deception match prophetic warnings. The rapture hope removes the fear of wrath, replacing it with joyful expectation. It drives us to share the gospel urgently, since billions remain unreached.

Different views exist:

• Premillennial view: A literal pre-Tribulation rapture removes the Church before wrath, creating high urgency for harvest before Christ’s imminent return.
• Postmillennial view: Protection comes through gospel triumph and revival, motivating active engagement in culture for widespread soul harvest.
• Amillennial view: Spiritual deliverance occurs amid ongoing trials, calling for faithful endurance and witness until Christ returns.

All views agree: secure in Christ, we live with expectation, encouraging one another and working tirelessly for revival and mass salvations in these final days of the Church Age.

Section 1 – Key Scripture & Reading

These extended passages from Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians give the clearest descriptions of the rapture, its comforting purpose, and our exemption from wrath. Read them in full to understand the dramatic reunion, resurrection power, and urgent call to live as children of light.

The Rapture and Comfort for Believers

1 Thessalonians 4:13–18: But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Not Appointed to Wrath – Children of Light

1 Thessalonians 5:1–11: Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep, we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

The Blessed Hope

Titus 2:11–14: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

These passages overflow with hope: Christ descends with a command and trumpet; the dead in Christ rise first; living believers are “caught up” (raptured) to meet Him forever. No wrath awaits us—only salvation. We grieve with hope, live soberly as bearers of light, and comfort one another while urgently sharing this deliverance.

Summary

The rapture is not a secret escape but a public, triumphant reunion: Christ calls with authority, resurrects the dead in Christ, and catches up the living to be with Him forever. It comforts grief, purifies our behavior, and spares us from wrath. In a world heading toward deception and sudden destruction, this hope fuels fearless witness—share the gospel boldly, as the harvest ripens before the trumpet sounds!

______________________

Section 2 – Teaching & Explanation

Paul wrote to comfort grieving believers who worried that departed loved ones might miss Christ’s return. The rapture guarantees reunion and eternal presence with the Lord. Other verses strengthen this message of deliverance, readiness, and urgency.

Protection from the Hour of Trial

Revelation 3:10: Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

Waiting in Hope

Philippians 3:20–21: But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

More Key Verses on Hope and Readiness

Hebrews 9:28: …Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

1 Corinthians 15:51–52: Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

Luke 21:36: But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.

The rapture motivates holy living and urgent evangelism. Views differ on timing, but all emphasize sober readiness, armor of faith/love/hope, and sharing salvation before wrath arrives.

Review of the Timeline and Analysis of each group of people at each phase (Premillennial/Pre-Tribulation Rapture view):

The Rapture: The sudden catching away of the Church (believers in Christ) to heaven, occurring before the Tribulation period begins. This event is imminent and signals the end of the Church Age dispensation.

• Those alive at the time in Christ (living Church-age believers): They are instantly transformed with glorified bodies and caught up to meet Christ in the air, joining the resurrected dead in Christ in heaven, spared from the Tribulation. Shortly after arrival, they participate in the Bema Seat Judgment for rewards based on earthly works.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ (living unbelievers): They are left behind on earth to face the Tribulation, experiencing the absence of the Church and the rise of chaos, with opportunities for salvation during this period but under great peril.
• Those already dead in Christ (deceased Church-age believers): Their bodies are resurrected first with glorified, imperishable forms, reuniting with their souls/spirits already in heaven, and they ascend to meet Christ along with the living believers. 
• Those already dead not in Christ (deceased unbelievers): Their bodies remain in the grave, and their souls stay in Hades (place of torment/annihilation?), unaffected by the Rapture; they await future resurrection at the end of the Millennium for judgment.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses (deceased believers’ souls/spirits, including OT saints and Church-age martyrs as per Hebrews 12:1): They rejoice as the full Church is gathered; the cloud of witnesses may observe or exemplify faith, but their bodies (for Church-age) are resurrected here, while OT saints await resurrection later.

The Tribulation (7-Year Period): A time of unprecedented global judgment and turmoil on earth, also known as Daniel’s 70th Week or the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, focused on Israel and unbelievers.

• First Half (3.5 Years): The Antichrist rises to power, establishes a false peace treaty with Israel, and consolidates global authority through deception and signs.
  • Those alive at the time in Christ: This category is minimal post-Rapture, as the Church is removed; new converts (Tribulation saints) emerge, facing increasing deception but evangelizing, especially the 144,000 sealed Jewish witnesses; they endure trials but are protected spiritually.
  • Those alive at the time not in Christ: They experience false peace under the Antichrist’s regime, many deceived into following him; economic and political systems tighten, leading to the mark of the beast setup, with judgments beginning via seals (conquest, war, famine, death).
  • Those already dead in Christ: Safe in heaven with Christ, their glorified bodies intact; they may observe events as part of the heavenly host but are not directly involved on earth.
  • Those already dead not in Christ: Remain in Hades, unaffected; no resurrection or involvement yet.
  • Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: In heaven, they praise God amid opening seals (Revelation 6), interceding or witnessing judgments; the cloud serves as encouragement for enduring faith on earth.
• Midpoint (Abomination of Desolation): The Antichrist desecrates the rebuilt Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, declares himself god, and initiates intense persecution.
  • Those alive at the time in Christ: Tribulation saints, including converted Jews and Gentiles, face severe persecution and are hunted; many flee to wilderness protection (e.g., Petra for Israel), but martyrdom increases as refusal of the mark leads to death.
  • Those alive at the time not in Christ: Many worship the Antichrist, taking his mark for survival in the economy; those resisting without faith suffer greatly, with some potentially converting amid revelations of his evil.
  • Those already dead in Christ: Continue in heavenly rest, perhaps joining in worship as trumpets sound (Revelation 8-9).
  • Those already dead not in Christ: Still in Hades, no change.
  • Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Martyred Tribulation saints’ souls arrive in heaven (Revelation 6:9-11), crying for justice; the cloud grows as more witnesses join.
• Second Half (Great Tribulation, 3.5 Years): Escalating divine judgments (seals, trumpets, bowls from Revelation), widespread catastrophe, martyrdom of Tribulation saints, and the Antichrist’s reign of terror.
  • Those alive at the time in Christ: Tribulation saints endure extreme hardships, with many martyred for refusing the beast’s mark; survivors hide and witness, sealed by God for protection from certain judgments but not from persecution.
  • Those alive at the time not in Christ: Billions perish in cosmic upheavals, plagues, and wars; those with the mark face eternal doom, while some repent and become saints amid the chaos.
  • Those already dead in Christ: In heaven, they participate in heavenly scenes, such as the marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-9), preparing for return with Christ.
  • Those already dead not in Christ: Unchanged in Hades.
  • Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Swell with incoming martyred souls under the altar, receiving white robes; they await vindication as judgments pour out.

The Second Coming of Christ: At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus Christ returns visibly and bodily to earth in glory, accompanied by raptured saints and angels, to defeat evil forces.

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Surviving Tribulation saints are gathered and transformed, joining Christ; they enter the Millennium in natural bodies if not glorified yet.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: Many are destroyed in judgments or at Armageddon; survivors face the sheep/goats judgment (Matthew 25), with goats (unbelievers) cast out and sheep (believers or supporters) entering the Kingdom.
• Those already dead in Christ: Raptured Church returns with Christ in glorified bodies; OT saints and Tribulation martyrs are resurrected here or shortly after to reign.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Remain in Hades; no resurrection yet.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Accompany Christ in His return, as armies in white (Revelation 19:14); the cloud witnesses the fulfillment of prophecies.

The Battle of Armageddon: Christ’s victorious confrontation with the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and the assembled armies of the nations at Megiddo; the Antichrist and False Prophet are cast into the Lake of Fire, and Satan is bound for 1,000 years.

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Protected during the battle; survivors enter the Millennium to repopulate earth.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: Armies are slain by Christ’s word (Revelation 19:21); beast-marked unbelievers face immediate judgment.
• Those already dead in Christ: Observe or participate as part of Christ’s heavenly army, but without fighting as Christ alone defeats.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Unaffected in Hades.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Rejoice at victory, as justice is served.

The Millennial Kingdom (1,000-Year Reign): Christ establishes His literal, physical kingdom on earth from Jerusalem, ruling with perfect justice; resurrected saints reign with Him; Israel is restored and fulfills its covenants; peace prevails, though some human sin remains among survivors’ descendants.

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Enter the Kingdom in natural bodies, living extended lives, bearing children; they serve under Christ’s rule without Satan’s influence.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: Judged at outset; any surviving unbelievers are excluded, but descendants born during the Millennium can rebel if not converted.
• Those already dead in Christ: Resurrected saints (Church, OT, Tribulation) reign with Christ in glorified bodies, immune to death, serving as rulers and priests.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Remain in Hades throughout the Millennium.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Integrated into the reigning saints on earth, witnessing the Kingdom’s glory.

Satan’s Release and Final Rebellion: After the Millennium, Satan is loosed for a short time, deceives the nations into one last revolt (Gog and Magog), which is swiftly crushed by fire from heaven; Satan is then cast into the Lake of Fire eternally.

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Protected from deception; they witness the rebellion’s defeat.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: Many descendants join the rebellion and are consumed by fire.
• Those already dead in Christ: Unaffected, continuing in eternal security.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Still in Hades, awaiting final resurrection.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Observe the final vindication of God’s sovereignty.

The Great White Throne Judgment: The final resurrection and judgment of all unbelievers from history, based on works; those not found in the Book of Life are cast into the Lake of Fire (second death).

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Already judged favorably (Bema Seat earlier); they enter eternity secure.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: Any remaining are resurrected and judged here if not destroyed earlier.
• Those already dead in Christ: Not present; they faced rewards judgment earlier.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Resurrected bodily, judged according to deeds, and cast into the Lake of Fire with death and Hades.
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Likely observe as witnesses to God’s justice.

The New Heaven and New Earth: God creates a renewed, eternal universe free from sin, curse, and death; the New Jerusalem descends; believers dwell with God forever in perfect fellowship, marking the consummation of all dispensations and the eternal state.

• Those alive at the time in Christ: Transformed into the eternal state, dwelling in the New Jerusalem.
• Those alive at the time not in Christ: None remain; all are judged.
• Those already dead in Christ: Fully united in glorified existence with God.
• Those already dead not in Christ: Eternally separated in the Lake of Fire or Annihilation?
• Those already in heaven or the cloud of witnesses: Merged into the eternal communion with God, no longer as witnesses but as participants in unending joy.

Summary

Rapture hope comforts loss, calls for watchful purity, and delivers us from wrath through Christ’s salvation. Whether through pre-Trib removal, gospel-protected triumph, or spiritual endurance, it unites us in readiness. With signs speeding up, embrace this hope—encourage believers, live as light, and proclaim deliverance to the lost. The harvest awaits workers strengthened by this blessed promise!
