1 Kings 17:12

12 And she responded: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.” ^{▼▼17:12The eschatological meaning of the text refers to the Church in the end times, during the tribulation, when it will seem as if the Church is about to perish. But by the grace and providence and miraculous intervention of God, the Church will not perish.(Conte)}
