I hear and read different 'interpretations' on chronology of events. i.e. some say those in Christ 'raptures' His church and some say remnant of 'True Israel' only ones to endure 'Jacob's trouble'.(((Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.))) Don't recall but possibly there are other interpretations.
Of course, Satan will make as many interpretations as you need to be confused and give up.
You have to read the word, base your understanding on the word, and get rid of all the "weeds" that would choke the word.
Philadelphia was a church, they were told that they would be kept from the hour of trial. In Revelation 4 we see the coronation of Jesus in the heavens and the Lampstand is there. We are told in Revelation 1 that the lampstand is the church.
That said Sardis is very clearly warned that if they don't repent they won't be raptured, and Laodicea is told if they don't leave that apostate church they will be put to an open shame. Thyatira is told that they tolerate the woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, you know she won't be raptured. Pergamos has Balaam a false prophet and you know he won't be raptured.

Notice that I posted the Bible verse with a brief statement of my own. I don't see where you have posted the verse? You refer to certain verses and passages but most is your interpretation it seems to me. Shouldn't the verse be posted and your statements clearly distinguished from the Bible passage?
The seven lampstands are the seven churches
Revelation 1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels (divine messengers) of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Credit Suisse has lost 75% of its stock value. This company is bigger than Lehman brothers. Deutsche bank is twice as big as Lehman brothers and they also are underwater with liabilities exceeding assets. If these two banks collapse it will be three times bigger than the mortgage crisis and this doesn't even account for China which already is seeing a run on the banks as they are being locked out of the SWIFT system while their real estate bubble collapses. Everyone is interconnected so when one falls they all fall. Also, energy costs are a major factor in every investment, blowing up the pipelines and Saudi Arabia talking about cutting back production these two things insure that energy prices will be high for some time.
You will have a massive collapse, that is why the whole world will look to the antichrist and accept the mark of the beast currency. But that will happen after the rapture. I suspect the rapture will be like taking the last piece out of the jenga structure causing the collapse of the world's economy. This is why the Lord says He will come like a thief in the night.

Please note the US stock market gets 44 billion a month from 401k money (stupid money). This gives the wealthy a chance to sell 44 billion a month if they are trying to make an orderly retreat. Most people get paid twice a month so that is 22 billion on the first and 22 billion on the 15th. So if you are wondering who is buying today that is your answer.

He explains how terrible owning a mutual fund is during a stock market crash.
Think about this, 60% of Americans have been in continuous credit card debt for a year or more. Interest rates are spiking, inflation is devouring their paycheck, they will have no other choice but to sell the 401k to pay off debt.

The following article tells us a main source of revenue for Banglalalalalalalalalalalalaladesh is THE GARMENT INDUSTRY. And I would venture to say the companies which are involved in the industry are some well known brands of which you may even be wearing the product. A ploy to force deep pockets to participate in COP 26 maybe. lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal all the way to the bank. For who?

Power back in Bangladesh after grid glitch forces 7-hour blackout
Yesterday 12:38 AM
Electricity supply across Bangladesh has been restored after the South Asian country plunged into a blackout following the failure of its national power grid, officials said.
The blackout, which affected much of the country, started at 2pm (08:00 GMT) on Tuesday and lasted for nearly seven hours before power was completely restored at 9pm (15:00 GMT).
It was not immediately clear what caused the glitch.
Grid failures generally happen when there is a high mismatch between demand and supply, potentially due to unexpected or sudden changes in power use patterns.

Many large shopping malls in the capital, Dhaka, closed early on Tuesday evening. Elsewhere, people gathered at fuel stations to collect diesel to run standby generators and market vendors operated amid candlelight.
Nasrul Hamid, junior minister for power, energy and mineral resources, said in a statement that he regretted the “temporary inconvenience” caused by the power failure.
Officials at the state-run Bangladesh Power Development Board earlier said power transmission had failed in the eastern part of the country.
All power plants tripped and electricity was cut in Dhaka and other big cities, said Shameem Hasan, a power department spokesman.
Bangladesh’s recent impressive economic growth has been threatened by power shortages since the government suspended operations of all diesel-run power plants to reduce costs for imports as prices have soared.
The country has rationed some gas supplies amid high global prices driven up by Russia’s war in Ukraine. The government vowed frugal spending after reporting a record fiscal deficit last year.
Over a third of the country’s 77 gas-powered units were short of fuel, government data showed on Tuesday.
The diesel-run power plants produced about 6 percent of Bangladesh’s power generation, so their shutdowns cut output by up to 1500 megawatts.
Earlier this month, Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, said that the situation is so serious that garment factories are without power now for about four to 10 hours a day.
“To cope with the (power) crisis, we have been using generators. Today’s outage was unpredictable. We had to shut our offices, because generators can not run for long periods,” Shahidullah Azim, vice president of the association representing more than 4,500 garment factories, told Reuters news agency on Tuesday.
“We can’t run factories without power,” Azim added.
Zunaid Ahmed Palak, a junior minister in Bangladesh, said on Facebook it was “risky to restore (power) with a heavy load”.
Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest garment exporter after China, and it earns more than 80 percent of its total foreign currency from exports of garment products each year.
Last month, the Asian Development Bank said in a report that Bangladesh’s economic growth would slow to 6.6 percent from its previous forecast of 7.1 percent in the current fiscal year.
Weaker consumer spending due to sluggish export demand, domestic manufacturing constraints and other factors are behind the slowdown, it said.
