Isaiah 9 · Grade 3

Wonderful Counselor

Name Date

Read the Story

Isaiah said there would be no more gloom for the land of Galilee. "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light." God had multiplied the nation and increased their joy. He broke the yoke of their burden.

Then Isaiah gave a great promise. "For a child is born to us. A son is given to us." The government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He will rule on David's throne with justice and righteousness forever.

In the New Testament, Matthew 4:13-16 says Jesus lived in Galilee and brought this light. In the New Testament, Luke 1:32-33 says Jesus will reign on David's throne. The rest of Isaiah 9 warns proud Israel. The people had not turned to Yahweh. So his hand was stretched out still.
