What happensPermalink
Two coins from a widow are greater than all the other offerings because they are given from poverty, not abundance. Jesus prophecies the tumult that will signal the end of the age, dissolving relationships and creation itself.
Why it mattersPermalink
The end of the age and the coming return of Jesus will be obvious—wars and rumors of wars will come and go, and natural disasters will prevail, but the people of God must be patient. Jesus’s prophecies look forward to both the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and also the final apocalypse.
