(December 16, 2014)
I am
assuming, based upon my limited understanding of the economics at the time of Isaiah,
that someone with a cow and two sheep are at best lower middle class. And yet, these people who are lower middle
class are going to be so wealthy that they could eat butter (a delicacy for the
people in Israel
at that time).
How easily we forget that this prophecy has been
fulfilled in our day. So many people
struggle and live under conditions that would best be described as poverty, and
yet how many of them could have butter for every meal if they wanted to (I
would assume most could). We are living
in blessed times, when the poorest among us live lives that would have been the
envy of kings only a couple centuries ago.
