Bible Question: what does Everlasitng Father in Isaiah 9:6 mean |
Bible Answer: This is a messianic prophecy. "Everlasting Father" of Isaiah 9:6 literally means Father of Eternity (Heb. abiad). The Messiah will be a Father to His people eternally. Isaiah 40:11 says, "He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them to His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young." See also Isaiah 63:16; 64:8; Psalms 68:5,6; 103:13; and Proverbs 3:12. --Hank |
