THE BIRTH OF THE PRINCE OF PEACE
The Prophecy of the Messiah
Isaiah 9:6 is a prophetic verse that reads:
"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." (KJV)
This verse is often interpreted as a prophecy about the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. Here's a breakdown:
- "For unto us a Child is born": The Child is Jesus, born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23).
- "unto us a Son is given": Jesus is the Son of God, given to humanity as a gift (John 3:16).
- "and the government shall be upon His shoulder": Jesus will establish a kingdom with authority and power (Daniel 7:13-14, Revelation 19:16).
- "and His name shall be called": Jesus' names reflect His nature and character:
- "Wonderful counselor" or "counselor of wonders" (Judges 13:18).
- "Counselor" or "advisor" (Romans 11:34).
- The mighty God: 'El gibbor, emphasizing Jesus' divinity (Titus 2:13).
- The everlasting Father: 'Abiy 'ad, meaning "father of eternity" or "eternal father" (Isaiah 63:16).
- The Prince of Peace: Sar shalom, emphasizing Jesus' role as the bringer of peace (Ephesians 2:14).
This verse highlights Jesus' divine nature, His role as Messiah, and His mission to bring peace and salvation to humanity.
For those who want to receive Jesus Christ, please repeat after me:
"Dear God,
I acknowledge that I've fallen short of Your glory and ask for forgiveness for my sins. I believe Jesus Christ died for me and rose from the dead. I invite Him into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank You for Your love, mercy, and gift of eternal.
Amen!
Final prayer:
"Dear Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace,
We marvel at Your greatness and love. You came to us as a Child, born of a virgin, and given as a gift to humanity. Your government is upon Your shoulder, and Your names reflect Your majestic character Thank You for being our Counselor, guiding us through life's complexities. You are the Mighty God, powerful to save and strong to deliver. As our Everlasting Father, You provide for us, protect us, and love us unconditionally.
Prince of Peace, we seek Your peace in our lives, communities, and world. Bring calm to chaos, hope to despair, and joy to sorrow. We acknowledge Your lordship and surrender to Your will. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen!
