About Isaiah 9
Out of the gloom over Galilee of the Gentiles breaks a great light: unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His names — Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace — and the promise of an endless reign on David's throne stand against the chapter's refrain of judgment on the unrepentant.
