In the context of Isaiah, this abundance is paradoxical, as it comes during a time of judgment and desolation. The land, though ravaged, will still support enough livestock to provide milk. This reflects God's provision even in times of hardship. The abundance of milk can also symbolize spiritual nourishment and sustenance provided by God.<p><b>he will eat curds</b><br>Curds, a byproduct of milk, were a common food in ancient Israel, indicating a simple, pastoral lifestyle. Eating curds signifies a return to basic sustenance, contrasting with the luxury and excess that may have characterized the society before judgment. This simplicity can be seen as a form of purification or a return to reliance on God's provision. The mention of curds also connects to the idea of the Promised Land, "a land flowing with milk and honey," indicating God's continued faithfulness.<p><b>for all who remain in the land</b><br>This phrase highlights a remnant theology, a common theme in Isaiah, where a faithful remnant of Israel will survive God's judgment. Those who remain are the ones who will experience God's provision and care. This remnant is often seen as a type of the faithful believers who endure trials and remain true to God. The concept of a remnant is echoed throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/romans/11-5.htm">Romans 11:5</a>, where Paul speaks of a remnant chosen by grace.<p><b>will eat curds and honey</b><br>Curds and honey together symbolize a diet of simplicity and sufficiency. Honey, like curds, is a natural product, often associated with abundance and blessing. The combination of curds and honey suggests a return to a more Edenic state, where God's creation provides for humanity's needs. This phrase also points to the Messianic age, where peace and prosperity will be restored. In a typological sense, it can be seen as a foreshadowing of the spiritual nourishment found in Christ, who provides for the needs of His people.<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 is the author of the book and is delivering God's message to the people of Judah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, where Isaiah's prophecies were primarily directed.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahaz.htm">Ahaz</a></b><br>The king of Judah during Isaiah's time, who was facing threats from surrounding nations.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/assyria.htm">Assyria</a></b><br>A powerful empire threatening Judah, which plays a significant role in the context of Isaiah's prophecies.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_remnant.htm">The Remnant</a></b><br>Refers to those who remain faithful and survive the coming judgment and devastation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_in_times_of_judgment.htm">God's Provision in Times of Judgment</a></b><br>Even in times of judgment, God provides for His people.
