You consider Jesus to be the Messiah (I don't). You equate those verses with Jesus, saying that Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
Are we living in peaceful times? (I think not) Why is the title Prince of Peace given to Jesus when we obviously are NOT living in peaceful times?
Jesus isn't here now ... is he ?
He will bring His peace with Him when He returns.
I do not argue that all of the Messianic ministry has been fulfilled ... we are all still waiting for that fulfillment.
Something he is supposed to do later? If so, they why has he already been given a title for something that he didn't do?
It is God (through Isaiah) Who bestowed the title.
Undoubtably God is bestowing such a title upon the Messiah (whoever he may be) ... though peace has not yet come.
God can see the end of things in a way that we cannot.Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
He will bring His peace with Him when He returns.
So, he is NOT the Prince of Peace, yet? But, will be, when/if he brings peace.
See what I mean about awarding an honor or title that hasn't been earned yet. ;)
Undoubtably God is bestowing such a title upon the Messiah (whoever he may be) ... though peace has not yet come.
Now, we're getting somewhere. Whoever it may be. Are you saying it is possible that it might NOT be the person we know as Jesus?
