What does it mean when someone says they are 'in Babylon'?  I have been researching this online and listened to Daniel via my audio bible tonight at work, but I still don't think I am fully grasping the meaning of that expression.

Hi there!

It would depend on the context. If you could copy and paste the text and include the source of the material, I'd be happy to see if I could answer your 2.5 year old question. :)

Perhaps they mean "in a worldly, degenerate culture of false gods, one that tries to hold God's chosen ones captive".

Or consider that Paul and Peter used the code term "Babylon" for "Rome".

I agree with the other poster.  We need more context.  Daniel was actually literally in Babylon, and so it could simply be referring to the literal nation of Babylon.   There are some references that could mean something else, but again we would need context to know.

Saying that they are in babylon can mean that they are pagan and do not believe. Study the view of babylon in the bible.

Babylon is a symbol for a place for enemies of God. Babylon is future and will take place during the 7 year tribulation. Perhaps they are referring to unbelievers.
