Jesus proclaims that he is the Son of God

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

(New International Version translation)

Bible passage: Isaiah 9:6-7
Prophet: Isaiah
Written: Between 701-681 BC

In Isaiah 9:6-7, which was written about 700 years before the time of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah speaks of a son who would be called "Mighty God" and "Eternal Father." Isaiah also indicates that this son would reign on the throne of King David and that this reign would be everlasting. King David is the great, God-obeying king who reigned from about 1050 BC to about 1010 BC. God had promised King David that the reign from David's throne would be everlasting. Christians believe this promise is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, whose reign is everlasting. Today, the teachings of Jesus govern the lives of an estimated 2 billion Christians worldwide. The New Testament also says that Jesus will return in the future to establish an everlasting kingdom.
