Text: Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
A child is born, on December 25?
A son is given, for a teacher and a redeemer.
The government shall be upon his shoulder; Jesus became the king of Israel when he rode the little donkey into Jerusalem.
His name shall be called Wonderful. Names identify the person, his character, or occupation etc.
Counsellor. Jesus dwelt with the problems of a lot of people.
The mighty God. A Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
The everlasting Father. Jesus is both God and man, He is the son of God in the flesh and the eternal God dwelt in him.
The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 11:1-9 New English Translation (NET Bible)
An Ideal King Establishes a Kingdom of Peace
11:1 A shoot will grow out of Jesse's root stock,
a bud will sprout from his roots.
2 The Lord's spirit will rest on him—
a spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom,
a spirit that provides the ability to execute plans,
a spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the Lord.
3 He will take delight in obeying the Lord.
He will not judge by mere appearances,
or make decisions on the basis of hearsay.
4 He will treat the poor fairly,
and make right decisions for the downtrodden of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and order the wicked to be executed.
5 Justice will be like a belt around his waist,
integrity will be like a belt around his hips.
6 A wolf will reside with a lamb,
and a leopard will lie down with a young goat;
an ox and a young lion will graze together,
as a small child leads them along.
7 A cow and a bear will graze together,
their young will lie down together.
A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.
8 A baby will play
over the hole of a snake;
over the nest of a serpent
an infant will put his hand.
9 They will no longer injure or destroy
on my entire royal mountain.
For there will be universal submission to the Lord's sovereignty,
just as the waters completely cover the sea.
a bud will sprout from his roots.

Isaiah 9:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
7 His dominion will be vast
and he will bring immeasurable prosperity.
He will rule on David's throne
and over David's kingdom,
establishing it and strengthening it
by promoting justice and fairness,
from this time forward and forevermore.
The Lord's intense devotion to his people will accomplish this.
and he will bring immeasurable prosperity.
He will rule on David's throne
and over David's kingdom,
establishing it and strengthening it
by promoting justice and fairness,
from this time forward and forevermore.
The Lord's intense devotion to his people will accomplish this.
