I think that it is inspiration that when Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, that God gave them hope of what would not be like that forever. Jesus would come to earth to be fully human and God, so that He could close the gap between humans and God. Then roughly 700 years before Jesus was born, God started to lay out His plan of Jesus's birth and what it will mean. He gave us all we needed. We just didn't understand what it meant until after it all happened.
When Jesus came, He removed the hopeless gloom that many people had. He became a real light in this world that still shines today. He brought true rejoicing back to the world by removing burdens that we were never meant to carry. His ministry gave us hope through deliverance.
In Isaiah's prediction is third mention of Jesus' birth. Here He is called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, and Everlasting Father to give significance to His character. He reigns with zeal through justice and righteousness. His reign or government will be eternal. He has the most powerful army that never loses it's strength or structure to support Him. It nation is set and stable.
One day, the proud and arrogant heart will be broken and not restored. People that misguide other people will be cut off and lose their independence. The wicked will burn until their wickedness is consumed by the fire. The people that reject God will face such devastation to the point that they will devour one another. They will be like helpless children with no hope. Once the people are separated, God will not change His mind. Eternity is set.
Isaiah 9
