And take a good look around! We’re in Revelation 18

Take a good look around
There is no a/c who has claimed he is God , and I can still buy and sell with out his mark on my hand or forehead.
A days wage can still buy way more than a loaf of bread
No one has been decapitated for refusing the mark of the beast
So,,,, not in the tribulation.

I think this analysis is too narrowly focused, although not far off the mark (the original post, rather than any specific post that might precede mine) ... Babylon is probably a prophetic vision of modern globalist western society in general rather than some specific entity like “big pharma” (which by the way has hardly fallen).
We have not yet witnessed the fall of Babylon. We could be in the tribulation if one accepts a relatively symbolic reading of its attributes, and accepts that a spirit of antichrist has arisen rather than an “Antichrist” — many of these spirits have suggested that they are god-like and that the actual God approves of their ideology (both are marks of the great delusion of the end times).
I think it is too difficult for us to know exactly where we are in the prophetic timetable because everything in it can verify at certain levels of intensity, or perhaps a more literal fulfilment will follow. We should all be ready for the appearance of the Lord at any time because of that uncertainty, we could be days or weeks away from it, or months or years.
[So,,,, not in the tribulation.]

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Yeshua HaMashiach, which ELoHIM gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 1:2 Who bare record of the word of ELoHIM, and of the testimony of Yeshua HaMashiach, and of all things that he saw.
15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of ELoHIM.

Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies...
...18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men...
18:16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
