To Us A Child Is Born
Isaiah 9:1-7
Key Verse 6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Look at verse 1a. What was the condition of the land of Zebulun and Naphtali in the former time?(Isa 8:19-22). Why do you think this happened to the people at that time?
V1b-3. What will happen in the latter time?(1b-3) Why?(Mt 4:13-17)
V4-6a. What were Israel’s oppressors doing to them? What will God do to their oppressors? What is “the day of Midian”?(Judges 7:19-25) How did God defeat the oppressors(6a)?
V6b. What will the messiah’s name be called? Consider each name: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. What do each of these names signify and reveal about who Jesus is?
V7. Consider everything that is revealed about the Kingdom of God.
What does it mean that the increase of his “government” and “peace” will have no end?
What does it mean that this is “on the throne of David”?
What does it mean that he will “establish and uphold it” with “justice and with righteousness”?
Who will do this and why?
How is this passage a fulfillment of the prophecy regarding the woman's offspring/seed mentioned in Genesis 3:15?
