Isaiah 9:1-6 - Explained

Question

Shalom!
Can you share Jewish point of view towards Isaiah 9:1-6.
Thank you.

Answer

Thank you for your question.

The verses are describing a time when there will be a change in leadership. Achaz, who was a wicked king, will have his kingship come to an end, and the child who is born, Chizkiyahu, will strengthen the nation in the service of Hashem.

Wishing you well.
