Isaiah 9:6For to us + 9:6 a MP: “a child is born,” Messiah is born as a human being, a man-child. (Luke 2:11-12a) + 9:6 a MP: “a child is born,” Messiah has a human body of flesh and bone. (Luke 2:11; John 1:14) a child is born. To us + 9:6 a MP: Messiah is the Son of God, “a son is given”. Hence Messiah has divine origins. (Luke 1:32, 1:35; John 1:34c; Col 2:9) a son is given; and + 9:6 b MP: Messiah comes to bear the responsibility as the prophesied heir who establishes the everlasting kingdom as the heir to the throne of David. (Luke 1:32) the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is called Wonderful Counselor, by Christian interpretation this is one name. Judaism sees this as two names. “Wonderful” as in (Judges 13:18) by the Angel of Yahweh to Judge Manoah. Also “Counselor,” one who brings wisdom from God like Moses and Aaron did (Num 11:16-17). (Luke 4:22; John 7:46) Peleh-Yo 'etz [Wonderful-Counselor], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is called “Mighty God,” for he is mighty and strong, able to save. Hebrew Gibbor means Mighty or Strong. (Matt 14:27; Acts 4:12) El Gibbor [Mighty God], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is everlasting with the authority of his father (Yahweh and ancestor David). Now the Hebrew idiom “Eternal Father” in the context of a ruler on David’s throne (Is 9:7). Eternal father could mean “The ruler with authority to pass on or deny access to eternal life”. (John 5:19, 5:30, 12:49-50; Rev 1:18) Avi-'Ad [Everlasting Father], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is the “Prince of Peace”. This role can be understood as “The chief leader of the people establishing a peaceful covenant relationship with God”. (John 12:49-50; Col 1:19-20) Sar-Shalom [Prince of Peace].

A Song of Praise. ( b. c. 740.) 1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord , I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. 2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. 3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
