Let the prophet Isaiah answer this.
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;
and the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called:
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
This CHILD is the mighty God -El Gibor.
This CHILD is the eternal Father -Avi Ad.
