“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.” Isaiah 9:6 (NASB)
When we read in the Bible the predictions and prophecies regarding the coming birth of Jesus, we realize how much His coming means to us who believe and follow Him. Our verse today is one of the Old Testament predictions about the coming of Jesus. We at one of the descriptions of the child that was to be born. It proclaims that His name will be Wonderful Counselor. This title tells us something about how Jesus would affect people. He would cause people to wonder and to be amazed at his wisdom. To us who believe in Jesus and follow Him, we also find Him an amazing and wonderful counselor in our own lives, do we not?. Some versions put a comma between Wonderful and Counselor but the better translations has only the four descriptions of the predicted child to be born. He is all four which supports the promise that the government rests on His shoulders and confirms his right to Kingship and Authority over all other governments and people.
