    What Isaiah is prophesying here about this child who would come, he is saying something that is very distinct. The Messiah would be called Mighty. But calling the coming Messiah “Mighty – God” means even more.

In fact, we do not see a lot of good in dew. • The ladies generally do not ...read more
