1. “And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.”

a. [And the] floors [Strong: 1637 goren go'-ren from an unused root meaning to smooth; a threshing- floor (as made even); by analogy, any open area:--(barn, corn, threshing- )floor, (threshing-, void) place.]

b. [shall be] full [Strong: 4390 male' maw-lay' or malae (Esth. 7:5) {maw-law'}; a primitive root, to fill or (intransitively) be full of, in a wide application (literally and figuratively):--accomplish, confirm, + consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be fenced, fill, fulfil, (be, become, X draw, give in, go) full(-ly, -ly set, tale), (over-)flow, fulness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish, satisfy, set, space, take a (hand-)full, + have wholly.]

c. [of] wheat [Strong: 1250 bar bawr or bar {bar}; from 1305 (in the sense of winnowing); grain of any kind (even while standing in the field); by extens. the open country:--corn, wheat.]

d. [and the] vats [Strong: 3342 yeqeb yeh'-keb from an unused root meaning to excavate; a trough (as dug out); specifically, a wine-vat (whether the lower one, into which the juice drains; or the upper, in which the grapes are crushed):--fats, presses, press-fat, wine(-press).]

e. [shall] overflow [Strong: 7783 shuwq shook a primitive root; to run after or over, i.e. overflow:--overflow, water.]

f. [with] wine [Strong: 8492 tiyrowsh tee-roshe' or tiyrosh {tee-roshe'}; from 3423 in the sense of expulsion; must or fresh grape-juice (as just squeezed out); by implication (rarely) fermented wine:--(new, sweet) wine.]

g. [and] oil [Strong: 3323 yitshar yits-hawr' from 6671; oil (as producing light); figuratively, anointing:--+ anointed oil.]

1). John Walvrood, The Milennial Kingdom: Another important factor in the millennium is the fact that the curse which descended upon the physical world because of Adam’s sin apparently is lifted during the millennium. According to the prophet isaiah: “The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God” (Isaiah 35:1, 2). The rest of the thirty-fifth chapter of Isaiah continues in the same theme. Abundant rainfall characterizes the period (Isaiah 30:23; 35:7) and abundance of food and cattle are pictured (Isaiah 30:23, 24). Though the curse on the earth is only partly lifted as indicated by the continuance of death, and will remain in some measure until the new heaven and the new earth are brought in (Revelation 22:3), the land of Palestine will once again be a garden. The world in general will be delivered from the unproductiveness which characterized great portions of the globe in prior dispensations.

2). This of course is the Millennial Reign of Christ, for just before the return of Christ there was devastation to all the vegetation. 

a). Joel 1:1-4   The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

1:3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.

b). Joel 1:6, 7 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

1:7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

c). Joel 1:10-12 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

1:11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
