(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.

Messiah comes from the nation of Israel [God prevails]. Messiah is also called Israel as the patriarch Jacob was renamed Israel (Gen 32:28).

Being associated with the sin offering is seen in (Lev 4:4, 4:15, 4:24, 4:29, 4:33). (John 17:1-5; Rom 4:25; Eph 1:16-23; Heb 10:9-10; 1 John 2:2) present himself as a fault incurring guilt offering. 2 If he does, he will see his offspring, 1 + 53:10 c MP: Messiah is resurrected from death and has life beyond the grave. “He will prolong / lengthen his days”.
