Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus Christ, about 700 years before it actually happened.
The New Testament reminds us that Jesus is the hope of the world, and will rule and reign on the earth some day.
The meaning of these two words WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, in this verse is UNIQUE, and very meaningful to every Christian. It will be an EVERLASTING KINGDOM and full of JUSTICE. MIGHTY GOD means: The all sufficient One. PRINCE OF PEACE means: In God’s Everlasting Kingdom there will be no wars or rumors of war.
Handel wrote THE MESSIAH and it is one of the most beautiful choruses in the world and it will be sung many times during the Christmas Season. He took the words from the Book of Isaiah.
“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” (Isaiah 9:6 NIV).
