Just Who IS This Child?

“For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
and the government will be upon his shoulder.
And his name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
upon the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to order it and establish it with judgment and justice
from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
Isaiah 9:6-7
This CHILD … is called:
the Mighty GOD
and the EVERLASTING Father.
How can a child be God?
How can a child be the eternal Father?
JUST WHO IS THIS CHILD?
He is the everlasting God.
