We see times of tribulation starting but we should remember that there are billions of the dead in torment in their spirit state in Hades too, now and continuing like that for the next thousand years. The living have tribulation but so do many of the dead. For us, now is the time we are alive, and in this time it is best for us to notice and help those who are suffering because they are poor, because we can actually do something to alleviate their suffering, lest we too end up in tribulation after death, as bad as tribulation many will suffer while still alive.
