Isaiah 9:6 — "Everlasting Father" as a title for Jesus: representational fullness of God

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 19) 00:50:39 – 00:53:16

Leslie Johnson asked why Isaiah 9:6 calls Jesus "Everlasting Father" if he is not the Father within Trinitarian theology.

Mike reads the four titles in Isaiah 9:6 — Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace — and notes that Counselor is also a name for the Holy Spirit (John 14:16), Everlasting Father for the Father, and Prince of Peace for the Son. His tentative (and openly unresolved) reading is that the passage presents Jesus as the one who fully represents or embodies God on earth — all three persons are somehow encapsulated in his titles. He stresses this is a live question he wants to research further and does not lock in a final answer.
