Isaiah 9:6 - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

ישעיה ט ה
כי ילד ילד לנו בן נתן לנו ותהי המשרה על שכמו ויקרא שמו פלא יועץ אל גבור אבי עד שר שלום

Hey Friends! Please read the following for more depth on Isaiah 9:6 and its fulfillment in Jesus.
Isaiah 9:6 uses the prophetic perfect tense, a common feature in Hebrew prophecy where future events are described as though they have already occurred, emphasizing their certainty. This is the same tense used in Isaiah 53 to describe the suffering Servant, which even many traditional Jewish sources acknowledge as future. The child described in Isaiah 9:6 bears titles like Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—titles that far exceed what could be ascribed to Hezekiah or any human king. While Hezekiah’s reign was significant, it does not align with the everlasting peace and dominion described in verse 7 and the future tense with which it is stated. Rabbinic sources, such as the Targum Jonathan, identify this passage as messianic, referring to the child as the Messiah. Additionally, Midrash Tanchuma connects the government on His shoulders to the Messiah. Even Isaiah 53, often debated, was historically interpreted as messianic by early Jewish writings like the Talmud (Sanhedrin 98b), which describes the Messiah as the suffering Servant. While it’s true that many Israelis today are secular and may not study Scripture deeply, this doesn’t change the historical and contextual understanding of these prophecies as messianic. The connection between Isaiah 9, 11, and 53 paints a picture of a singular figure who establishes eternal righteousness and peace. While Hezekiah may represent a partial fulfillment, the ultimate fulfillment, given the divine titles and eternal scope, points to the Messiah. Jesus fulfills this description, as demonstrated by His life, death, and resurrection, and will ultimately complete it in His return.

When I watch your videos I see God's Spirit in you, in how you treat each person you approach, whether they're responsive or not. My heart aches for those who have never heard, or heard wrong information about Jesus and I know what you're doing fills God's heart with great joy! ❤ God bless you and your family.

As a saved Christian since 1987, I only started to "see" the real and true connection to the old testament the last 20 years of my life. It is so obvious, glad y'all are sharing this in such a concise way using the tanahk.
