It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim.

A Spiritual Harvest

Commentators unanimously agree that the vivid imagery of mountains dripping wine and hills flowing with milk is symbolic. It's not a promise of literal, earthly overindulgence. Instead, it paints a picture of an overwhelming abundance of spiritual blessings—joy, pure spiritual nourishment, and divine grace—that God will pour out on His people in the age of restoration.
