Isaiah 9:6
_ _ For — the ground of these great expectations,
_ _ unto us — for the benefit of the Jews first, and then the Gentiles (compare “unto you,” Luke 2:11).
_ _ son ... given — (Psalms 2:7). God’s gratuitous gift, on which man had no claim (John 3:16; Romans 6:23).
_ _ government ... upon ... shoulder — The ensign of office used to be worn on the shoulder, in token of sustaining the government (Isaiah 22:22). Here the government on Messiah’s shoulder is in marked antithesis to the “yoke and staff” of the oppressor on Israel’s “shoulder” (Isaiah 9:4). He shall receive the kingdom of the earth from the Father, to vindicate it from the misrule of those to whom it was entrusted to hold it for and under the Most High, but who sought to hold it in defiance of His right; the Father asserts His right by the Son, the “Heir of all things,” who will hold it for Him (Daniel 7:13, Daniel 7:14).
_ _ name ... called — His essential characteristics shall be.
_ _ Wonderful — (See on Isaiah 8:18; Judges 13:18, Margin; 1 Timothy 3:16).
_ _ Counsellor — (Psalms 16:7; Romans 11:33, Romans 11:34; 1 Corinthians 1:24; Colossians 2:3).
_ _ mighty God — (Isaiah 10:21; Psalms 24:8; Titus 2:13) Horsley translates: “God the mighty man.” “Unto us ... God” is equivalent to “Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
_ _ everlasting Father — This marks Him as “Wonderful,” that He is “a child,” yet the “everlasting Father” (John 10:30; John 14:9). Earthly kings leave their people after a short reign; He will reign over and bless them for ever [Hengstenberg].
_ _ Prince of Peace — (See on Isaiah 9:5; Genesis 49:10; Shiloh, “The Tranquillizer”). Finally (Hosea 2:18). Even already He is “our peace” (Luke 2:14; Ephesians 2:14). |
Isaiah 9:6
For — Having spoken of the glorious light, and joy, and victory of God's people, he now proceeds to shew the ground of it. Us — Unto us Jews, of whom Christ was born, and to whom he was primarily sent. A child — The Messiah by the consent of interpreters, not only Christian, but Jewish: for so the ancient Hebrew doctors understood the place, and particularly the Chaldee paraphrast; although the latter Jews, out of opposition to Christ, wrest it to Hezekiah. Which extravagant conceit, as it hath no foundation in this or any other text of scripture, so it is fully confuted by the following titles, which are such as cannot without blasphemy and nonsense be ascribed to Hezekiah, nor indeed to any mere mortal man, as we shall see. Is born — Or, shall be born, as the prophets generally speak. The government — Of God's people, to whom he is given. Shoulders — Upon him, or in his hands. He mentions shoulders, because great burdens are commonly laid upon men's shoulders. His name — This is not to be taken for a description of his name, but of his glorious nature and qualities. Wonderful counsellor — And so Christ is, because he hath been the counsellor of his church in all ages, and the author and giver of all those excellent counsels delivered not only by the apostles, but also by the prophets, and hath gathered and enlarged, and preserved his church, by admirable counsels and methods of his providence, and, in a word, hath in him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Colossians 2:3. Mighty God — This title can agree to no man but Christ, who was God as well as man, to whom the title of God or Jehovah is given, both in the Old and New Testament. And it is a true observation, that this Hebrew word El is never used in the singular number, of any creature, but only of the almighty God. The father — The father of eternity. Who, though as man he was then unborn, yet was and is from everlasting to everlasting. |
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to 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 (k) Father, The Prince of Peace.
(k) The author of eternity, and by whom the Church and every member of it will be preserved forever, and have immortal life. |
