In the context of <a href="/isaiah/66.htm">Isaiah 66</a>, Jerusalem is often personified as a mother, and the people of God are her children. This reflects the intimate relationship between God and His people, where He provides for their needs and offers comfort. The idea of nursing and satisfaction suggests a deep, fulfilling relationship with God, where spiritual needs are met. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages that describe God’s nurturing nature, such as <a href="/psalms/131-2.htm">Psalm 131:2</a>, where the psalmist compares his soul to a weaned child with its mother. The comforting breasts symbolize the sustenance and peace found in God's presence, echoing the promise of spiritual fulfillment and contentment.<p><b>you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.</b><br>The phrase "drink deeply" implies an invitation to fully partake in the blessings and prosperity that God provides. This abundance is not just material but also spiritual, reflecting the richness of life in communion with God. The term "glorious abundance" suggests a superlative state of blessing, reminiscent of the promises of restoration and prosperity found throughout the prophetic books, such as in <a href="/isaiah/60-5.htm">Isaiah 60:5</a>, where the wealth of nations is brought to Jerusalem. This abundance can also be seen as a type of the eternal blessings found in Christ, who offers living water (<a href="/john/4-14.htm">John 4:14</a>) and promises life in abundance (<a href="/john/10-10.htm">John 10:10</a>). The delight in this abundance points to the joy and satisfaction that come from a relationship with God, fulfilling the deepest desires of the human heart.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah's ministry was primarily to the Kingdom of Judah.
