Why do you think the Messiah has not come yet?
It says in Issiah, "and he will be called prince of peace, everlasting Father, Mighty God". Does it not occur to you that Jesus was forfilling prophecy?
And the names from Adam to Noah put them together and their meanings and you get a prophecy about the Messiah. I really want to know why Jews do not think Jesus is and was God in flesh who came on the earth as the ultimate sacrifice? The Old Testament is full of prophecy for this.

Whenever someone says "answer me this", I've found that the questions are usually pathetic. This question was no exception.
A == You obviously don't speak hebrew, for if you did you'd see that the hebrew actually says, "and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, 'the prince of peace'."
B == And even this one title which is really appropriate for the subject of this verse, namely "prince of peace" -- is this an appropriate title for jesus? He certainly didn't bring peace to the region. Just a few years after his death the Jews were slaughtered and scattered abroad. Since then, countless lives have been lost from war -- many of them in the name of jesus! Certainly he wasn't the prince of peace. (See next verse too: "everlasting peace"!)
C == According to your translation, why is jesus here being referred to as "The Father"? After all, christianity says he's the "son"!
D == Why do you assume that is a messianic prophecy?
E == The verse says that he would have governmental authority. Since the Romans ruled that district and killed jesus, he clearly didn't have authority either.
In conclusion, there is NOTHING in this verse which indicates it is about jesus at all -- as is the case with all "proof texts".

The ninth chapter in the Book of Isaiah deals with the crisis that existed in the Kingdom of Judah during a time when the Assyrian king Sannheriv wanted to destroy it. Isaiah responds to the messenger sent by Hezekiah with a message in which he reaffirms the promise that G-d made to David, namely, that the kingdom would be preserved (see 2 Sam 7:12-16). The army of Sannheriv, the king who previously exiled the tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, lays siege to Jerusalem seeking to capture and exile the people of the Kingdom of Judah. The nation turned to G-d and obeyed Hezekiah's order not to respond and, as noted (see 2 Chron 32:21, above), a miracle occurred. An angel came and slaughtered the Assyrian army, and the king, Sannheriv, was assassinated by members of his own family upon his return in defeat. Thus, the Jewish nation that was on the brink of destruction, standing in the shadow of death, suddenly and miraculously was redeemed, and it stood in a great light.
The tenth chapter in the Book of Isaiah provides the epilogue to the events described in Chapter 9. In these two chapters, the Prophet recounts how G-d saved King Hezekiah and his Kingdom of Judah from Sannheriv's massive military attack.

Why do you care? No, I really mean it...why do you care? Why are you trying to push your religion on people who are happy and fulfilled with who they are? I am Jewish; I am elated to be a Jew; and I would NEVER want to be anything else. My G-d is joyful, loving, has a sense of humor, loves to sing and dance and would NEVER tell anyone that they are going to "burn in pits of fire" or any such nonsense because, as a father, he/she would never hurt any of his children even if they weren't always good to him or trusted him. As far as I can tell, the other ideas about G-d have him being angry, vengeful and something to be feared. Now why on earth would I want to believe in a G-d like that?

In English we say "ARE there any Jews who can answer this?" (Are not is, and no "me" in there).
I am not a Jew, but people think Jesus is not God in the flesh mainly, I suspect, because God does not even have the decency to exist.

Maybe Jesus had read the prophesies and was intentially fulfilling them. A great scam.
Get this, Jesus was Jewish. If you doubt that then you have a lot of Bible study to carch up with.

The return of God will be at the end of time, and those of faith are no different than you or me, even those we now accept as prophets.
Religion brings us together as it gives many a reason to kill.
Jesus(a Jew), Mohamed(a Christian), would agree and
would certainly pray(not prey) together.

Those that do ceased to be Jews. Those that remained Jews suffer from an apparantly fatal condition called "Pride". Not for nothing does the Bible call them a "stiff-necked" people.
