Jesus is not only a Counselor who performed the miraculous, but Who is miraculous in His counsel

2. Isaiah 9:1
But there will be no gloom for her who was
in anguish. In the former time he brought
into contempt the land of Zebulun and the
land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he
has made glorious the way of the sea, the
land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the
nations.

3. Isaiah 9:2-3
The people who walked in darkness have
seen a great light; those who dwelt in a
land of deep darkness, on them has a light
shone. You have multiplied the nation; you
have increased its joy; they rejoice before
you as with joy at the harvest, as they are
glad when they divide the spoil.

4. Isaiah 9:4-5
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for
his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you
have broken as on the day of Midian. For
every boot of the tramping warrior in battle
tumult and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.

5. Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given;

shoulder, and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

6. Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his government and of
peace there will be no end, on the throne
of David and over his kingdom, to establish
it and to uphold it with justice and with
righteousness from this time forth and
forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts
will do this.
