Meaning

"Mighty God"

Explication

This name describes the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in this prophetic portion of Isaiah, as a great and powerful warrior, the Messiah, the Mighty God, who will defeat God's enemies and will rule with a rod of iron. Let's pay attention to the words "God" and "Mighty" on Isaiah 9:6. So the only God and Mighty is YHWH as he reveals himself. Then many will say that it shows that Jesus is not YHWH, but if we analyze such words we will see that he is. In this verse it is talked about the Messiah and the attributes of the one who would come as Son are described. It clearly shows the Deity of Christ by calling him Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting God. The title "Mighty God" is used in relation to YHWH in Isaiah 10:21 "a remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God". This is a clear evidence that Jesus is YHWH, the same God of the Old Testament. He is described with the same characteristics and has the attributes of the incomparable and inimitable God. If God, in his omniscience (he knows it all) says that he knows no other being who is Mighty God, who is like Him, and Jesus is described this way with the same characteristics that only God has, it shows us that is the same person. Jesus is YHW, our everlasting Father, Jesus is El Gibor, in other words, he is the Mighty God.
