• Verse 6 begins with “For”; that is, it supplies the basic reason or ground on which the prophecy rests. The meaning and implications of the great name, Immanuel, are unfolded to us. He is truly the “Child” born to the virgin but He is also the “Son” given. In the fuller light of the New Testament we can see how fitting is the word “given” here rather than “born”. He who was “Son” became “seed of David according to the flesh” (Rom. 1:3); that is, by His birth of the virgin. Hence His Sonship preceded His birth, and, as the fruit of inspiration, the prophecy was so worded as to be in harmony with the truth later to be revealed. (“Isaiah 9” by F.B. Hole)

• The government is to rest on the shoulder of Immanuel, and the full import of the name is now given to us under five headings. The first is “Wonderful”; that is, Singular and beyond all powers of human scrutiny. Then He is “Counselor”; One involved in the counseling which precedes Divine acts, as for instance, “Let Us make man...” (Gen. 1:26). This must be so inasmuch as He is “Mighty God”. Again, being so, when He takes flesh and blood, His name of course must be “God with us”. Moreover, He is “Father of eternity”, as more literally the words read. Eternity has its origin in Him. The ascription of Deity to the Child born could not be more distinct. (“Isaiah 9” by F.B. Hole)

• He is “Prince of peace”, the only One who, in this rebellious world, can establish it upon a permanent basis. This He will do by the warrior judgments predicted in verses 4 and 5. (“Isaiah 9” by F.B. Hole)
