Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." v.6
Read chapter 9.
The picture of the kingdom could not be complete without the manifestation of the king. Another prophesy fulfilled through Jesus Christ. Jesus was the Child born, the Son of God given as His representative to us some 2,000 years ago. We are now at a time between "given" and "the government upon His shoulders." We wait expectantly for His Kingdom, or government, to rule over the whole earth. The names listed here of what He'll be called is more than just a title but His characteristics and His glory. These names can be 7 separate titles (or also possibly four combined)
- Wonderful: He is adored for His uniqueness in His person as God and Man.
- Counselor: Full of wisdom and always true and right. He knows the whole counsel of God.
- Mighty God: Hebrew EL, absolute
- Everlasting: He has no beginning and no end.
- Father: The Son is the Father. Hard to grasp our minds on them being one in the same.
- Prince of Peace: The Prince that brings true union between God and man and among men.
Which name stands out to you today?
