Isaiah 9:6

Isa. 9:6. "Counselor." Not only because He is man's Counselor, but God's. See Genesis 1:26.

Isa. 9:6. "Wonderful." Which shows that this child that was to be born is the same person with the Angel that spake to Manoah, that ascended in the flame of the altar; for He tells Manoah that His name is 'Secret', Judges 13:18. The word is the same in the original that here is translated 'Wonderful', and that person was God, for He is there spoken of as being God, verses 22, 23; so that here is a prophecy of God's being born, which agrees with the names that follow - 'The mighty God,' 'The everlasting Father,' and to the name that He is called by in the last preceding chapter but one, in the 14th verse - viz., 'Emmanuel.' And it also confirms that the child here intended is the person that was to be a sacrifice for sin, because this person, whose name was Secret and Wonderful, ascended before Manoah in the flame of the altar; and so it argues it to be the same person that wrestled with Jacob, for when Jacob inquired after His name He answers, "Wherefore enquirest thou after my name?" in like manner as He answered Manoah when he inquired after His name. It argues it also to be that Son of God spoken of in Proverbs 30:4; see also Revelation 19:12.
