Now, bear in mind that in Scripture a name is, generally speaking, descriptive of the one who owns it, and not a mere label without any such meaning as names often are with us today; and then ponder the meaning of "the Name" of the virgin's Son in its fivefold character.
"Wonderful." — Something singular or unique, altogether surpassing ordinary human knowledge.
"Counsellor." — One marked by wisdom, resource, and authority. He who is in the secret of the divine counsels and able to put them into effect.
"The mighty God." — The full title of Deity. The Hebrew word for God is in the singular El, not Elohim, which is plural. The virgin's Son is singularly God, if one may so speak.
"The everlasting Father" or "Father of Eternity." — He from whom eternal ages spring and have their being.
"The Prince of Peace." — He who will ultimately end all the discords of earth under righteous rule.
