Isaiah prophecies some wonderful qualities in the future Messiah's titles. The one that amazed them most must have been "Almighty God." Yes Jesus would be called God and He is all mighty. There is nothing He cannot do because He is God. This is so clearly spelled out in the Gospels as prophesied here 700 years before Jesus came - Son of God, Son of man, eternal Savior.

Isaiah 9:6 - For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Consider these clear passages of Scripture... I could share many more:

John 1:1 and 17-18 - “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him." 

John 8:57-59 - John also recounts in this Gospel that Jesus claimed to be I Am – (The translation of the name Yahweh). The Jewish leaders knew that He was claiming to be God because they picked up stones to throw at Him. “So the Jews said to Him, ‘You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?’ 58 Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.’ 59 Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.” John 10:30-31 “I and the Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. John 14:8 – “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” 

John 20:27-29 - John recounts as well without clarification or critique that one of the disciples, Thomas professed that Jesus is God following Jesus’ resurrection. Of course, John also warned not to worship idols. He knew that worship of Jesus is not idolatry because Jesus is God. “Then He said to Thomas, ‘Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.’ 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ 29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” 

1 John 5:20 - John continues to claim Jesus’ deity throughout His book and His epistles. Let’s consider another clear reference in John’s letter. “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” Paul continues this teaching in several clear and direct statements in His letters to the churches. The deity of Christ was a common theme throughout the NT. Consider Paul’s clear statements below. 

Romans 9:4-5 who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, 5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. 

Titus 2:13 “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” 

Hebrews 1:8 - The author of Hebrews leaves us no doubt as he shows throughout chapter 1 (the whole book is devoted to Jesus’ superiority) how Jesus is superior to angels. Not only does he share how the angels worship Jesus, but he clearly states that Jesus is God. “But of the Son He says, ‘YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.’” 

2 Peter 1.1 - Peter also gives the same conclusion as each of the other writers of the New Testament. These are not implied. These are direct statements of Scripture. “Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” 

Revelation 1:8 - The final book of the New Testament opens with a view of Jesus sharing some of His divine nature. See the description in all of chapter 1 of Revelation. Also, clearly stated in Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
