Biblical Testimony of Isaiah 9:6

Biblical Testimony of Isaiah 9:6

It is amazing that for all the powerful testimony of Isaiah 9:6 to the Massiah-hood of Jesus of Nazareth, the passage is never referenced by any New Testament writer. Some, including myself, have raise a concern over this fact. The Masoretic Hebrew text, from which our Old Testaments are translated does contain Isaiah 9:6 as it appears in our Bibles, so does the Septuagint as contained in the Alexandrian text, but not in the Vaticanus.

In the shadow of this question the Spirit lead me to record the biblical-ness of this wonderful christological text. What follows is a breakdown of each phrase of Isaiah’s prophecy.

Isaiah 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.
