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 (Isaiah 9:6). When Isaiah prophesied of the coming of Jesus Christ the People of God were in fact going through very tough times. This prophecy was to fill God’s chosen people up with assurance and hope as they were treading through a harsh period. In this verse four titles or characteristics of Christ are given to the people through the prophet Isaiah. New Testament believers can still relate to this verse because it does inform us of Christ's eternal characteristics which are still alive, active and demonstrated to this day through the precious gift of the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah predicted the coming of Christ and His nature close to 800 years before his arrival. The name or characteristic of Christ being a Wonderful Counselor refers to Christ’s incomprehensible or limitless character. Isaiah also prophesied Christ as being a “El-Gibbor” which means Mighty God in the hebrew text and mentions Him as a powerful and mighty warrior. Everlasting Father refers to the Character of God himself manifested through His son Jesus Christ. …show more content…

Christ is the Father of those who believe in Him. Christ will always be our everlasting father. He is unchanging and eternal. He will always be the Father of the lost and hopeless.

Christ will always be the same yesterday today and

Verse one says “he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:” remember in Genesis is mention that God created us He formed us from the dust of the ground.

As time passed, people began to see their relation with God in a new light. The fatalism of Puppeteer God gave way to a new sense of personal responsibility, and God came to be seen as a friend and a father –a father of adult children. People now meet God as adult and see their relation as such, thus, Jesus uses human fatherhood as an analogy for our mature relationship to God. God is still involve in history. He is not a watchmaker who fashions things and leave them to their own device and to the natural laws of their being.

Similarly, King Zedikiah inquired of the Lord through Jeremiah concerning war with Babylon and God told him that his efforts would be fruitless because he, the Lord, would oppose him also, to their utter destruction (Jeremiah 21:1-7). As with all Jeremiah’s pronouncements against Judah, it would to be as Banwell asserts, “the impression that faith and justice are the sure defense, and that for a disobedient and unrighteous people there was no effective defense, even by force of arms” (p. 56). Contemporary Message Several parallels exist between the Jewish nation and the modern church in as much as, seldom do we truly understand and represent who he is. God’s desire to the nation of Israel from its inception was to have a nation of priest to intercede, mediate and draw all mankind to the one true and living God (Exodus 19:6).

Isaiah, who also referred as the Messianic prophet, points out the veil of the Old Testament scripture in which he said that: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive; keep on looking, but do not understand. ’(Isaiah 6:8-9)(NASB) According to Augustine, one of the famous theologian of all time, “the Old testament is the occultatio novi,” which means conceal what someone needs to know about Jesus Christ.

One of the most well-known prophets of the Bible, Elijah represented God in a bold manner. He appeared in the later chapters of 1 Kings and the opening few chapters of 2 Kings. God sent Elijah during this time to warn Israel to repent from idolatry. Through his various miracles, this courageous prophet also showed who the real God was. Elijah’s acts and non-hesitant ways are a great example to God’s people today.

The passage begins with, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” What an amazing thought! Jesus Christ is the image of God and he was before everything. The verse that was really highlighted for me when I was reading this passage was verse 22: “he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by this death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him… continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel.” The word “hope” stood out to me in my time of meditation.

Isaiah 53 should be a very critical prophetic chapter of the Bible when it comes to establishing without ambiguity that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is indeed the Jewish Messiah long awaited for in Judaism. Popular in evangelical circles, this prophecy clearly describes some of what Jesus of Nazareth experienced while here on earth. Contrary to the systematic way the translation of the Word of God has been divided, my belief is that this prophecy began in Chapter 52:13 and continued until Chapter 53:11. Although this passage clearly talks about the suffering messiah Jesus, we know that the Jews in general rejected Him as the Messiah and are still awaiting for the messiah to come although He came 2000 years ago. This prophecy begins in verse 13 to 15 of chapter 52 and describes the Messiah as one who would be firstly wise.

The Lord is introduced as ‘the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, who is and who was and who is to come’. Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Among the Jewish rabbis, it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. All creation originated from Him, nothing existed without Him. There was no "before him”, for millions and billions and trillions of unending years God existed and never had a beginning.
