Eternal father could mean “The ruler with authority to pass on or deny access to eternal life”. (Is 9:6b) + 12:49 (49-50) 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”. (Is 9:6b) + 12:49. MP: Messiah is called Israel. Messiah comes from the nation of Israel. Messiah is also called Israel as the patriarch Jacob was renamed Israel (Gen 32:28). Being called Israel as a relationship role, Messiah is the example of right relationship with Yahweh for all Israel to emulate. (Is 49:3b) + 12:49 (49-50) MP: The Messiah speaks with knowledge taught to him from God, not from men. (Is 50:4) + 12:49. MP: Messiah is God’s servant born in Bethlehem, “the future ruler of Israel”. (Mic 5:2) For I spoke not from myself, but haAbba ·the Father· who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. + 12:49. Quoted from Deut 18:18
