Jesus-The Mighty One of Isaiah 9:6

                                           Jesus-The Mighty One of Isaiah 9:6

Isaiah 9:1-7 English Standard Version 9  But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. 3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil. 4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. 5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. 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. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

 

 

Mighty God can be translated as Mighty One (Hebrew: El). See Psalm 29:1, 52:1, 89:6; Ezekiel 31:11, 32:21.

 

"Everlasting Father" doesn't mean Jesus is God the Father. That would be modalism. The Father can be the originator or founder of something. See below for usage.

 

Isaiah 22:21 English Standard Version 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand. And he shall be a FATHER to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

 

Genesis 4:17-21 English Standard Version 17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the FATHER of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the FATHER of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

 

Matthew 23:9 English Standard Version 9 And call no man your FATHER on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.



 

Brenton Septuagint Translation-And his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.



JPS Tanakh 1917-And his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;


James Moffatt Translation (1935)-His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Divine Hero, Father for all time, Prince of Peace.


New American Bible Revised Edition 


For a child is born to us, a son is given to us;

upon his shoulder dominion rests.They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero,Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.




Jesaja 9:6 DELUT

Denn uns ist ein Kind geboren, ein Sohn ist uns gegeben, und die Herrschaft ist auf seiner Schulter; er heißt Wunderbar, Rat, 👉Held👈, Ewig-Vater Friedefürst


Translation:“For to us a child is born, a son is given to us, and the government is on his shoulder; and he is called Wonderful, Counselor, 

👉Hero👈, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”



Psalm 29:1 New American Standard Bible The Voice of the Lord in the Storm. A Psalm of David. 29 Ascribe to the Lord, 👉sons of the mighty👈,, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

 

Psalm 52:1 New American Standard Bible , when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” 52 Why do you boast in evil, you 👉mighty man👈,? The faithfulness of God endures all day long.

 

Psalm 89:6 New American Standard Bible 6 For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the 👉sons of the mighty👈, is like the LORD.

 

Ezekiel 31:11 English Standard Version 11 I will give it into the hand of a 👉mighty one👈,of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out.

 

Ezekiel 32:21

English Standard Version

21 The 👉mighty chiefs👈shall speak of them, with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’


NOTE: Ezekiel 32:21 uses ʾēl + gibbor language (“ʾēlê gibbōrîm”) for human warriors, regularly translated “mighty heroes” or “mighty warriors,” not God. This shows ʾēl can mean “mighty” or “heroic” without implying deity. When Trinitarians insist El Gibbor in Isaiah 9:6 must mean ontological God while accepting a non-divine sense in Ezekiel, that move amounts to special pleading.


Read the last verse in Isaiah 9:7. It says the Lord of Hosts will do it. Jesus cannot be both. They are distinct from each other. The Hebrew word El can be used for mighty human leaders as well. It is not exclusive to God. In fact, even the Greek doesn't have the word God in it. The word Theos is absent from the Septuagint.

 

Isaiah 9:6 Rendered version…. and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty One, Father of the Eternal Age to Come, Prince of Peace.

No One Knows the Day or Hour — Matthew 24:36, the Feast of Trumpets, and the Witness of 70 AD

 No One Knows the Day or Hour — Matthew 24:36, the Feast of Trumpets, and the Witness of 70 AD When Jesus said in Matthew 24:36, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only," many have taken this to mean a far-future, end-of-the-world event. But what if this phrase had a much more specific meaning to Jesus’ Jewish audience—one tied to their festal calendar, their historical context, and even the events of 70 AD? Let’s unpack this verse and its connection to the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), the idea of two witnesses, and the prophetic imagery of Revelation 11—all pointing to a first-century fulfillment. The Feast of Trumpets and the Phrase "No One Knows the Day or Hour" The phrase “no one knows the day or the hour” was commonly associated in Jewish idiom with the Feast of Trumpets—the only festival that began on a new moon (Tishri 1). Since the new moon is difficult to predict precisely, ancient I...

Ezekiel 40

Image
INTRODUCTION Picture yourself as a Jew in the exile. You lost your home, your family, and even questioning your faith in the midst of God’s promises. You are traumatized and broken by the events that have transpired. All hope seems loss. Then Ezekiel the Priest says that you will inherit a new Temple and a new land with more responsibility added to you. More responsibility that you couldn’t fulfill the first time, which is why you are exiled in the first place. And get this, it is all invisible. This would have not gone well for Ezekiel by simply telling the Jews their inheritance was invisible. However, that’s not the case. Thankfully, our God is very descriptive about the measurements and dimensions of the Temple. We have a basis to compare the old Temple and old land to these new promises. Since the Jews were involved in the construction, they would be familiar with the size of the Temple and the land. When Ezekiel was telling the Jews about these measurements, it blew their mind...
