Isa. 9:7 in context

Isa. 9:6      Isa. 9:8

Isaiah 9:7

His dominion shall be great (enormous, growing)
and have endless peace (prosperity, success, health – Hebr. shalom).
He shall reign from David's throne
and over his kingdom.
He will establish and support it through justice and righteousness,
from now until eternity.
It is the intense love (strong longing, desire) of the Lord of Hosts (Yahweh Tzevaot ) [for his people]
that will accomplish this.
[In Isa. 7:14 the promise of a child is introduced, and here in verse 6 the theme continues. There is a linguistic detail in the Hebrew text of this verse that points to the virgin birth. In the phrase "his dominion shall be great" (Hebr. le-marbeh ha-misrah), the open form of the letter Mem (מ) is not used; instead, the closed form (ם) is used, which is normally used when the letter ends a word. According to the rabbis, this verse is about King Hezekiah. Because he did not praise God after his victory over Sennacherib's army, the open Mem was closed to a closed one. The royal line was closed until the true Messiah would come. Interestingly, this passage is a clear reference to Jesus, the lion of the tribe of Judah. The letter mem stands for water and life. Our letter M has retained its original graphic form and reflects the waves of water. Rabbis also associate the letter with the womb. The Hebrew letter looks like a belly, and a child is in water before it is born. A closed letter Mem is therefore a closed womb. Rabbis teach that this represents a virgin birth. It is also interesting that the Hebrew name of Jesus' mother Mary is Mirjam, a word that begins and ends with the Hebrew letter Mem.]
