1 God Isa 9:6
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (NASB95)
This familiar verse of scripture, a prophecy, is one that many use to believe that Jesus is Almighty God the Father from Isaiah 9:6,
I was one of them. Let's revisit that verse in light of the words in other passages.
1. "God" (El Gibbor) in that verse is a
word also applied to men, judges, rulers, and magistrates.
2. The "son given" as Jesus Christ is a man. The Messiah, God's
servant.
Isaiah 53 makes this abundantly clear.
3. "God" in Isa. 9:6 is a word also applied to men, rulers, magistrates, and judges. See the link.
4. The "everlasting father" is fulfilled when Jesus became the "seed" that was planted in the earth (death) and raised to become the "last Adam". -a father sows seed to produce children.
5. When Jesus was preached after His disciples were Spirit-filled, we must look
at what they said who Jesus is to Jews, gentiles, rulers, pagans..
They never preached Isaiah 9:6 meant God became a man.
They did preach Isaiah 53 and Psalm 110
A Psalm of David.
110 The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
We have 100% assurance "THE LORD" is the Father and God of Jesus
Christ. John 17:3.
John 20:17
but go to My brethren and say to them,
‘I ascend to My Father and your Father,
and My God and your God.’”
Isa 9:6 is prophecy. Prophecy must be fulfilled.
Let's
itemize the prophecy and see when EACH PORTION was fulfilled. Lengthy but worth
the read!
Isaiah 9:6 KJV For to us a child is
"BORN", (prophecy)
fulfillment:
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her first "BORN"
son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because
there was no room for them in the inn.
- So we know this child is not the Father because GOD the Father is not born. The Father is eternal.
to us a son is "GIVEN": (prophecy)|
- fulfillment
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he
"GAVE" his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- the Father did not become his only begotten son. The Father GAVE his Son....
and the "GOVERNMENT" shall be upon his shoulder
(prophecy)
- fulfillment
John 5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has
committed ALL JUDGMENT (government) unto the Son
- the Father is governing through the Son! How is that? because the Father GAVE him that rule.
As we continue with this prophecy to fulfillment we MUST understand that "NAME" in this prophecy (Isa 9:6) means reputation, fame, and glory. Let's keep reading...
(Prophecy) and his NAME (reputation, fame) shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
- Let's itemize each "NAME" called
WONDERFUL- wonder, marvel wonder (extraordinary, hard to
understand thing)
- fulfillment
Jesus is wonderful.
Matthew 21:15 KJV And when the chief priests and scribes saw
the WONDERFUL things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and
saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.
COUNSELLOR- to advise, consult, give counsel, counsel,
purpose, devise, plan
- fulfillment
John 4:25-26 KJV The woman said to him, I
know that Messiah comes, who is called Christ: when he is come, he will TELL
US ALL. Jesus said to her, I that speak to
thee am he.
THE MIGHTY GOD- strong, mighty (adjective) strong man, brave
man, mighty man (noun masculine) god, god-like one, mighty one mighty men, men
of rank, mighty heroes
- fulfillment
Hebrews 1:8-9 KJV But to the Son he says, Thy throne,
O God, is for ever and ever:
a scepter of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. You have loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God,
has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
- Let's note that when God the Father referred to "the
son given", The LORD did so in the same manner that other MEN were called
gods. How so? Let's keep reading...
Exodus 7:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I make you
<Moses> God to Pharaoh
Isaiah 41:23 Declare the things that are going to come
afterward, That we may know that you are gods;
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods?
THE EVERLASTING FATHER- perpetuity, for ever,
continuing future. Father of an individual of God as father of his people head
or founder of a household, group, family, or clan
- fulfillment
John 5:18, 22-23 KJV Therefore the Jews sought
the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also
that God was his Father, making himself EQUAL WITH GOD. For the Father judges
no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor
the Son, EVEN AS they honor the Father. He that honored not the Son honored not
the Father which hath sent him.
- We point out that No N.T. scripture EVER has anyone calling Jesus
the everlasting Father.
THE PRINCE OF PEACE- prince, ruler, leader, chief,
chieftain, official, captain of completeness, soundness, welfare, peace
- fulfillment
Hebrews 12:2 KJV Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR (i.e. the
chief leader, prince) and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God
The gods of Psalm 82 are nothing more than men who, by God’s sovereign design, are chosen to rule over other men. In fact, the word “Elohim,” used in verse six, is often translated “judges” in the Old Testament. An example of this can be found in Exodus 21:6 where it reads, “Then his master shall bring him to the judges [Elohim] …”
Another example is Exodus 22:8 which reads, “If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges …” Again, the Hebrew Elohim is used.
This is why Jesus is called Elohim/God because God has given him authority to judge in...
John 5:23 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son
God gave His Son Yeshua/Jesus the throne of his Father
David to rule over Israel.
Luke 1:31-33
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall
call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the
most High; and the LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33
And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom, there
will be no end.”
1. "God" in that verse is a word also applied to men, judges, rulers,
and magistrates.
2. The "son given" as Jesus Christ is a man. The Messiah, God's
servant.
Isaiah 53 makes this abundantly clear.
3. The "everlasting father" is fulfilled when Jesus became the
"seed" that was planted in the earth (death) and raised to become the
"last Adam". -a father sows seed to produce children. His life was the seed.
4. When Jesus was preached after His disciples were Spirit-filled, we must look
at what they said who Jesus is to Jews, gentiles, rulers, pagans..
They never preached Isaiah 9:6
They did preach Isaiah 53 and Psalm 110
The LORD (Yehovah) says to my Lord (the Christ):
“Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
We have 100% assurance "THE LORD" is the Father and God of Jesus
Christ.
John 17:3. Jesus calls his God "the ONLY TRUE GOD".
John 20:17 Jesus said: ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father,
and My God and your God.’”
Rev. 1: from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn
of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us,
and loosed us from our sins by his blood;
6 and he made us a kingdom of priests ==>>> to his God and Father; <===
Almighty God or " MIGHTY GOD"- defined: strong, mighty (adjective) strong
man, brave man, mighty man (noun masculine) god, god-like one, mighty one
mighty men, men of rank, mighty heroes
- fulfillment
Hebrews 1:8-9 KJV But to the Son he says, Thy
throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. You have loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, has
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
- Let's note that when God the Father referred to the future son given, He did so in the same manner that other MEN
were called gods.
How so?
Exodus 7:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I make you <Moses>
God to Pharaoh
Isaiah 41:23 Declare the things that are going to
come afterward, That we may know that you are gods;
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods?
The gods of Psalm 82 are nothing more than men who, by God’s sovereign design, are chosen to rule over other men. In fact, the word “Elohim,” used in verse six, is often translated “judges” in the Old Testament.
An example of this can be found in Exodus 21:6 where it reads, “Then his master shall bring him to the judges [Elohim] …”
Another example is Exodus 22:8 which reads, “If the
thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the
judges …” Again, the Hebrew Elohim is used.
This is why Jesus is called Elohim/God because God
has given him authority to judge.
John 5:23 Moreover, the Father judges no one,
but has entrusted all judgment to the Son
‘el is "god". Not YHVH eloheim or YHVH (LORD) GOD.
Context determines the meaning.
-From “eloheim” in the Hebrew meaning: (very) great, judges, mighty, magistrates”.
