Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
Isaiah says a child is born and a son is given, and “the government shall be upon his shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). The verse lists throne names such as “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). The next lines describe endless government and peace on David’s throne with justice and righteousness (Isaiah 9:7).
6For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Hosts will perform this.
