καταπέτασμα, “A time to be rich and a time to be poor: Eschatological reversal in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus” (12.8.23), scribesofthekingdom.com.
Perhaps the clearest expression of this apocalyptic orientation toward wealth appears in the Lukan counterpart to the Beatitudes. Jesus declares: “Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep” (Luke 6:24-25). A prophetic word had come upon Israel that necessitated decisive and immediate action—action taken not because money, food, and happiness are wicked in and of themselves but because “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:25). In other words, it was time for the rich to prove their devotion to God, to be justified by faith, as it were, by abandoning their property just before David’s booth was restored to Jerusalem.
