Isa.9:6 foretells the Christ. What do think it is saying about him?

Yes it does. Thus the reason for posting it.

>> What do think it is saying about him?<<

What do I think? I think I believe what it says.

“his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

The Hebrew word used there for God is ’êl and that word in that form is used 163 times in the Old Testament. A few examples below.

Genesis 14:20 “be the most high God, which hath delivered”
Genesis 14:22 “the most high God, the possessor”
Genesis 17:1 "and said to him, I am God Almighty;"
Genesis 21:33 "of the LORD, the everlasting God."

Of course there are those who would deny what Isaiah said about what to call Jesus.

The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
***How is it that you overlook something so obvious? Would that not account for your studied incomprehension and unfamiliarity with the overwhelming evidence that Jesus claimed equality with God?
