6For 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. 7Of 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 (Isaiah 9:6-7).
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end (Luke 1:31-33).
56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:56-58).
3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:(Romans 1:3-4).
Sometimes it is almost as if the book of Isaiah ought to be placed in the New Testament. So numerous are the direct prophecy’s of Christ and so accurate are the accounts that the book seems to be an eyewitness account of New Testament events. But the book of Isaiah was written over 700 years before Christ. If this does cause us to pause and wonder in amazement, I am not sure whatever would cause us to do so. In these verses from Isaiah we learn that the Messiah would be born and be God. Christ fulfilled both, as He is altogether Man (Romans 1:3) and altogether God (John 8:58). Christ’s kingdom is without end and he rules with justice. As seen from these verses in Isaiah, we have an everlasting Savior that has literally been given to us. He is without end; we are therefore all under His everlasting authority and justice-for our benefit and His glory.
