Another Christmas Time Angel?

This episode looks at an interesting, alternate reading of Isaiah 9:6. Based on the Greek Septuagint translation, the One predicted is referred to as The Angel of Great Counsel.

Within the episode, there is a discussion of the history of the Septuagint and a possible explanation for why this wording was chosen.

An angel can also be a messenger. Christ, who is clearly not a created angel, has been seen as the Messenger of Great Counsel within church history and devotional life from the very start.
