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:

If we had asked King Hezekiah who his counselor was, he would have immediately replied, "Isaiah, the prophet, who brings me the word of Yahweh". 

Insofar as the kingly Son bears the authority of God's Word in all its completeness, he is the "counselor". In the ancient world, such persons often stood beside the king, giving advice, interpreting official documents, offering direction, and guiding the king's judgments. In this case, the promised Messiah needs no counsel but is himself the giver of counsel.  [BN, 9]
