Commentary on Isaiah 7:22
This verse describes the desolation following judgment, where the remnant survives on simple pastoral provisions. The 'abundance of milk' suggests a return to pastoral simplicity after destruction, not prosperity. Butter (curds) and honey represent basic sustenance in a depopulated land where agriculture has ceased. From a Reformed perspective, this illustrates the principle that God's judgment purifies His people, reducing them to dependence on His basic provision. The remnant theme recurs throughout Isaiah—God always preserves a faithful few.
