Isaiah 9:6 doesn't say "His Name will be" but "His Name is called", Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty Ayil, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. These are all titles, not names. There are many names in the Bible with the same Hebrew construction as in this verse. Each one that has “father” means the "father of (something)." For example, Abishua mans "father of plenty." Secondly the KJV does injustice to the translation of the phrase “Eternal father”. Isaiah 9:6 should be translated as "Father of eternity"; thus we find that the KJV reversed the sequence making the true meaning harder to discern.
Yeshua is the Father of Eternity because eternal life comes to us through him. And so it is written in Heb.5:9, "And being made perfect, he became the author (or father) of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"
Another obvious point about Is.9:6 is that it says "His NAME shall be called..."- NOT- "he IS the Mighty G-d etc.."? Also note, Yeshua said, "I have come in my FATHER'S NAME" and in John 14:28, he says “Father is greater than I,'" meaning he himself admits he is NOT the Heavenly Father.
