There is a famous verse in Isaiah 9 that brings great comfort to all who hear it. Much of the hope and comfort that emanates from this verse comes from the titles the prophet gives to the anticipated Messiah:
- Wonderful Counselor
- Mighty God
- Everlasting Father

and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- Isaiah 9:6
