Isaiah prophesied of Jesus. He is The Mighty God and The Everlasting Father. He was born a son to dwell among His creation. Isaiah prophesied that the kingdom (government) of Jesus would be forever, upon the throne of David, just as He promised David. (2 Samuel 7:12-13).
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." - Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV
Jesus established His kingdom with judgment and with justice by His death, burial, and resurrection. (The gospel). With His passion for His people, He took the judgment and justice for our sins upon His back and upon His cross. By His purchasing us from sin and death by His blood, we are able to be born again of water and of the Spirt and enter into His kingdom. (Acts 20:28, John 3:5).
As Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, by the gospel we can repent of our sins, be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of our sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives us the utterance). (Acts 2:22-24, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4).
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV
