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].

John's Testimony to Christ. 22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 24 For John was not yet cast into prison. 25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. 26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest… Read the whole commentary →
