In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches us about the historical background for the message of Isaiah. The kingdom of Judah could see an enemy nation on their doorstep, and in time, God would judge the nation for its sins. But the prophecy found in chapter 9 tells of a coming Messiah who will reign victoriously. That Messiah is Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 9:6, we are told that Jesus name will be "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." The name "Wonderful Counselor" tells us that Jesus is awesome in wonder, and full of godly wisdom.
