Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

From Background Notes [BN] for November 24^th & 25^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

While we might admit literary license and hyperbole in its language about Hezekiah, something else remains just below the surface. 

What does the text actually say about this "child" on whom rested the future of God's people--and the world? In summary:

1. For us a child is born, a son is given

2. Authority will rest on his shoulder

3. Proclaim his names!

a. Wonderful Counselor

b. Mighty God

c. Everlasting Father

d. Prince of Peace

4. David's dynasty will be firmly established.

5. Justice and Righteousness will prevail forever.

6. The zeal of Yahweh will achieve all of this.  [BN, 6]
