[yomamasofat87]

doesn't Hezekiah mean mighty YHWH? and wasent he adressed as everlasting father?

[ancienthebreworg]

@yomamasofat87 In Hebrew this name is pronounced heez'qee'yahu. Heez'qee means "my strength" so this name means "my strength is YHWH."

[MrSuperEman]

so it's not Mighty God? just mighty one? So God isn't in that verse? or can Mighty One (can be God or Warrior?)

[ancienthebreworg]

@MrSuperEman In my opinion this verse is not about God or Yeshua (Jesus).

[oO0Briggs0Oo]

@ancienthebreworg In your opinion who is this verse about?

[ancienthebreworg]

@oO0Briggs0Oo A son born to Ahaz, if memory serves me correctly.

[yomamasofat87]

Isaiah 9:6 obviously does not allude to Jesus because

Matthew 10:34. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

[yomamasofat87]

2 Kings 20:19. Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth are in my days?

[yomamasofat87]

Isaiah9:6 and… called his name: The Holy One, blessed be He, Who gives wondrous counsel, is a mighty God and an everlasting Father, called Hezekiah's name, "Sar Shalom," since peace and truth will be in his days.

2 Chronicles 32:26. Nevertheless Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

[GeneralHanSolo]

Mighty God (El-Gibbor). Obviously never used of a mere man.

Eternal Father (Avi-Ad). Literally: 'Father of Eternity'. The Son who is to be born will be the Father of Eternity, meaning that he is the source of eternal life. Clearly this is to be no mere man.

Prince of Peace (Sar-Shalom). This is the only one of the four names which can be used of man and God.

[GeneralHanSolo]

Wonderful Counselor (Pele-Yoeitz). The word 'wonderful' is in the construct state and should be taken together with 'counselor'. There are words in Hebrew which are used only of God and never of men. One example is barah, 'to create'. This is used only of what God does. Never used of what man does. Another word like this is 'pele', rendered here in English as 'wonderful'. In English, 'wonderful' may be freely used of many things, but in Hebrew it is reserved exclusively for that which is divine.

[conraddoavil]

I'm a christian, and I'm all for being textually accurate, but Jews slap down every Messiah prophecy out there? You seem to be smart with this kind of stuff, what is the messiah supposed to be like then? why wasn't Jesus good enough?
