What is His name in Isaiah 9:6?
According to Isaiah 9:6, the child born and son given has a name that shall be called Jesus Christ, Our God. The prophet writes to Israel, and the government will be upon His shoulder. The verse intertwines God the Father and God the Son.
Les explains that Isaiah 9:6-7 presents the Christ who died for us, feeds us today, and is coming again soon. He notes the prophet writes to the nation of Israel, so the "us" is Israel. The government upon His shoulder points to His thousand-year rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. Les stresses that His name shall be called Jesus Christ, Our God, which entwines God the Father and God the Son. This fits with Ephesians and shows Christ as the one in whom we dwell.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
