8056. 'A land flowing with milk and honey' means where there is gladness and joy. This is clear from the meaning of 'a land flowing with milk and honey' as pleasure and delight, dealt with in 5620, 6857, and so gladness and joy. The words 'gladness and joy' are used because in the Word 'gladness' has reference to truth, and 'joy' to good; and pleasure and delight have similar reference. In addition 'milk' has reference to the truth of good, and 'honey' to the good of truth.
