Isaiah 7:21-22

Isaiah 7:21-22

[21] And it shall come to pass in that day,  that a man  shall nourish  a young  cow,  and two  sheep;  [22] And it shall come to pass, for the abundance  of milk  that they shall give  he shall eat  butter:  and honey  shall every one eat  that is left  in  the land. 

What does Isaiah 7:21-22 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

In that day of woe, instead of having flocks and herds, the Judahites would be fortunate to have only one heifer and a couple of sheep. There would be such a lack of abundance of milk that they would have to curdle it to preserve it. They would also have to resort to eating honey instead of the variety of food items that they previously enjoyed. Even though food and drink would be scarce, it would be good food and drink because God would provide for the people who survived the Assyrian invasion.
