The Promised Messiah

Announced

Gen 3:15 account

Later: In Person, Luke 2, Matthew 1 and 2 accounts

IN BETWEEN - Isaiah 9:6

Isaiah 9:6 KJV 1900

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his shoulder: And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The Forever, Righteous Ruler

“Shall be called”- better stated “God will call His name...”- active, by God

Four Names

Wonderful Counselor

Something done that is wonderful, extraordinary, miraculous

Along with divine, wise planning, decision-making

Mighty God - El Gibbor

See Isaiah 10:21

Isaiah 10:21 NASB95

A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

This Son is identified with God

Something, someone special to cause Him to have God’s name

Everlasting Father

Father - very rare way to describe just some king

On the throne of David forever

This is no merely normal human ruler

The “Father of Eternity”

Prince of Peace

Every king wanted peace and prosperity for the people

Peace implies an end to war

The war is our separation from God

Romans 5:10 NASB95

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Messiah came to offer peace, reconciliation, only understood by believers, accepting this gift

GOD WITH US - IMMANUEL

With any who would,and will, accept Him

CLOSE - Isaiah 9:6

Isaiah 9:6 KJV 1900

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his shoulder: And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
