“Immanuel, Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God and the everlasting Father”
9:6).
Yes, those were the names revealed to Isaiah as he prophesied of the “Coming, Anointed-and-Appointed, Promised Deliverer sent from God”— otherwise known as the Messiah or Christ.
And, some 700 years later those prophesies came true in One Who’d also be called Jesus, which means “The Lord is Salvation.”
His Birth in a crudely made, wooden, feeding trough for cattle ( manger) was/is both miraculous and mysterious: for none of us can understand a virgin birth or how “the Word could be made flesh and dwell among us” (Is. 7:14a; Luke 1:26-38; 2:1-7; John 1:14).
Likewise, our human minds cannot grasp all that happened from “the Cradle to the Cross”. . .the Resurrection. . .or how Jesus’ Life can change lives today some 2,000 years later.
But, thankfully, He still does. Hallelujah!!
