| Isaiah 9 v 6 is quite obviously badly translated.
ISA. 9 v 6.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.
The last part of the above verse says The everlasting Father, the word
everlasting
in strongs is H 5703
The first half of this verse is talking about Jesus Christ. The second
part is not talking about Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is not the Mighty
God and he is not the everlasting Father. God the Father is the everlasting
father. Notice in Isa. 57 v 15; the Hebrew word H57O3 used in Isa. 9 v
6 is translated eternity.
ISA. 57 v 15.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose
name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is
of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and
to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Notice in the above verse eternity is in the strongs is H 5703
The everlasting Father is the God who has inhabited eternity. The proper
translation should be.
ISA.9 v 6.

The mighty God is identified as the Lord of Hosts, God the Father.
JER. 32 v 18.
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the
iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the
Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
God the Father is the prince of peace. ‘Prince’ means head person, or
captain, or chief.
