his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ---------------------- Jesus will fulfill all of those roles. The Jews simply got the timing wrong. His first assignment was to serve as a ransom.
Matthew 20:28 Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister+and to give his life* as a ransom in exchange for many.” Also as Counsellor- How can we avoid anxiety? Jesus counsels us: Continue giving worship of God priority in life. Those who do so can be confident that all their daily needs “will be added” to them by their heavenly Father. Matthew 6:33,34.
He will soon demonstrate his credentials as a mighty God. This expression, however, translates the Hebrew ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not ʼEl Shad·daiʹ, meaning Almighty God. That title belongs to Jehovah. Jesus will have disciples that live forever, fulfilling his role as ''everlasting Father''. Finally, he will become the Prince of Peace by removing all war mongers.
