I've gone to Is.7:23 and I'm afraid I still don't understand. Can you explain it to me please?

And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

Yes, Isaiah is speaking of a future land, historically Galilee,where oxen and sheep will graze.(For those with ears to hear) A remnant will return and the land will be abundant for them though it looks like briars and thorns to others. Previously there were one thousand vines worth one thousand pieces of silver, or conversely, the vines put forth put forth a thousand silvery shoots in fertility.

Note the whole chapter for understanding. We have a prophecy from a great prophet to the House of David. The message is also to put your trust in the Lord, not in men.

Thank you for your answer but I don't have the depth to understand this yet - I'm trying but I don't have the ears.

I read the chapter and agree that on one level it is to put our trust in the Lord. It shows problems with leaders over our nation and others.

The level you are also speaking of, The House of David, or Judah, returning - Does this mean those that returned to that region in 1948 - The nation of Israel or future yet, the millennium? Now it looks like briars and thorns but it is where the House of Judah wants and fights to be. Are they the remnant or are you speaking of the the millennium where His sheep will graze? Is that the reason many are now putting out those silvery shoots of fertility - to plant seeds for those that will be there then?
