According to the Hebrew Bible how do Jews interpret Isaiah 9:6.  In English please.?

In our English Bible Isaiah 9:6 is written:  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  According to Christianity this verse is about Jesus.  How can Jesus be the son of God and the everlasting Father ?

When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Rapture is a heresy. One must hide within a small group (10-12 people according to saint Seraphim of Sarov from Russia, 10-15 people group according to saint Gabriel Urgebadze from the country of Georgia) in order to escape the unforgivable mark of the beast. No documents; documents are from Satan; burn them (even documents of deceased relatives). No electronics once you hid so that you won't be tracked (even an old broken unplugged TV set from 1970's will show the infamous evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether). [Saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov] Mark of the beast is given with World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it); antichrist will release prisoners / insane asylum people to help him mark everyone. Police will mark people on highways; food stores will mark people who steal marked food (because marked food can only be swallowed by a marked person who has three strands of DNA instead of two). Reject vaccines, temperature scans, COVID tests (or similar), etc. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good.

How exactly the Jews interpret it I'm not sure.

I do know they were not looking for a man-God, as the trinitarians want it to say. They were rightly looking for a man chosen by God to become the Messiah.

This prophecy corresponds with (Daniel 7:13, 14) 

“13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, someone like a son of man was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.”

This 'son of man' would be given 'godly powers' and 'godly authority' to represent the only true God, Jehovah.

Jesus as God's appointed King would be a Wonderful Counsellor, because what he taught is not his own thoughts and teachings, but the thoughts and teachings of his God and Father.

Just as the God appointed judges and rulers were called gods at Ps 82:6, Jesus being a judge who judges all things according to God's will, becomes not just a god, but a Mighty God. (in English titles are capitalized)  Being a Mighty God does not make equal to his God and Father, nor does he desire people to worship him, for he says, 'All worship goes to Jehovah, his God and Father.

Jesus because of his death ransomed mankind from the curse brought about by Adam, the 'father of all fleshly mankind.

Jesus becomes their 'Eternal Father' in that his death brought back what Adam lost. Thus Jesus, the 'last Adam' become the life giving spirit, that gives life to all who accept his ransom.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace because by means of his Kingship all the nations will be blessed with eternal peace.

The trinity doctrine is actually disproves their interpretation of this verse, since they say, Jesus is not the Father, Thus Jesus cannot be both God Almighty and the Father.

A person can better comprehend the Mystery of the Trinity by reciting daily and with care 7 Hail Marys, one each while meditating on each of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary.  Further information about this devotion is available online.
