A Land of Milk and Honey

I recently had a dream that was memorable enough that I remember it, funny how that works.

The dream was part of a pattern of dreams, and this one had myself, and others, gathering still more others to a building, not unlike a hotel, but not really like one either. 

Towards the end of the dream I was asked to talk to the youth of the group to give them some idea of what was going on.  I likened what we were doing to Lehi and his family, or even the Children of Israel, as they were preparing to leave.  As I was doing that, the phrase 'a land of milk and honey' came up in my mind.  About that time my physical body demanded a bio break and I got up to take care of things.

As I pondered the phrase in question, I quickly made the connection to the Milk of Mercy, that I allude to in a previous post.  With a little more pondering, the phrase " the Honey of the good pleasure of our Lord" came to mind.  Since the "Milk of Mercy" represents the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which begins with the Doctrine of Christ, that seems to lead to the "Honey of the good pleasure of our Lord" representing the manifold and manifest blessings that the Lord bestows upon those who partake of the "Milk of Mercy".

Sounds like a great description of Zion to me which is indeed, a land that flows with "Milk" and "Honey".
