Abstract
This article highlights who was the figure called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and the Prince of Peace to the nation of Israel as delineated by the prophet Isaiah in the critical situation the king and people of Southern Israel/Judah faced in their conflict with the Assyrian Empire. This study utilizes the historical-critical approach which gives an overview of the social political situation of the nation of Israel which was experiencing pressure and crisis from the kings of Assyria who alternated challenging the people of God. In this situation God commissioned the prophet Isaiah to deliver the word of God concerning the importance of depending on the Lord and his eternal protection rather than trusting in man and his limited and temporary strength. In the midst of this crisis, God (Yahweh) revealed himself as the Holy One, the God of Israel who is transcendent as well as immanent, who presents himself in anthropomorphic language as the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace for the nation of Israel.These attributes of God thus have a meaning for the nation of Israel that God is their deliverer and rescuer. These descriptions also represent a trail showing his coming Incarnation that would be fulfilled in the New Testament. Therefore, in the book of Isaiah can be found the rich roots of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, that is God who became human.
