In the Bible we don’t only find prophecies concerning the First Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth, but also prophecies concerning his Second Coming to this earth.
The book of Isaiah is rich in prophecies concerning the Lord’s First Coming. These prophecies were given hundreds of years before the actual coming of the Lord.
Isaiah 9:6 is typical of a prophecy of the Lord’s First Coming.
“FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN,
Isaiah 9:6
Intr.:
to us a son is given,
1. and the government will be on his shoulders.
2. And he will be called
a. WONDERFUL,
b. COUNSELOR,
c. MIGHTY GOD,
d. EVERLASTING FATHER,
e. PRINCE OF PEACE.
End:
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.”
We are encouraged to meditate on the Bible day and night. The Lord is called: WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.
What do the names mean to us personally? Let us meditate on those names.
Just as the prophecies concerning the First Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to this earth have been fulfilled, so the prophecies concerning the Second Coming of our Lord to this earth will also be fulfilled.
