Isaiah 7: 15 Commentary

James R.
The esoteric meanings of butter and honey…
butter comes from the churning of milk (Proverbs 30:33)..and it takes an abundance of milk to make butter (Isaiah 7:22)…
Honey comes from hard work of bees…

Thus says the Lord: And he humbled thee, and suffer thee to hunger..and feed thee with manna, which thou knowest not, that you might know THAT MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD!It represent God deep words…

Babies drink milk, they cannot eat butter and honey…until they grow a little…it is the same with the people of God, babies in the faith drink the milk of the word and not strong meat such as butter and honey (Hebrew 5:12-14).But when they grow Spiritually full of age they begin to eat Butter and honey…

TIUCHE: What is the esoteric significance of ‘butter and honey’? Your comment interests me. Hmmmm. I haven’t read anywhere of Jesus craving for butter and honey in the new testament. Could it be that this, and the previous verse, is talking about someone else?

JUPITER AND VENUS
The infant Jupiter, says Callimachus, was tenderly nursed with goat’s milk and honey. Hymn, in Jov. 48. Homer, of the orphan daughters of Pandareus. Thusly, the virgin birth is a Pandareus box.

“Venus in tender delicacy rears. With honey, milk, and wine, their infant years.” Odyss. XX., 68. Cf. Both from Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible.

This passage seems to pertain to the care of the infant.

James R. HE WAS NO VEGETARIAN
This verse does not say that the man to whom this refers is a vegetarian. It simply says he will eat butter and honey…it doesn’t even mentions that he will limit himself to this kind of food…if we twist this to mean that he won’t be eating anything except butter and honey…he would die …because there is no water mentioned nor his mother’s milk which he need when he was newly born.
