2 Nephi 19-20 Isaiah reveals some of Christ's names

2 Nephi 19
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and hi s name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” V.6

2 Nephi 20
When we know someone well, we get to know there nick names. In the previous chapter we learn many of Christ’s names. Isaiah knew the Lord intimately. As we read Isaiah it is fun to look for these names and ponder their meaning. In verse 27, Christ is referred to as “the anointing.” We know that anointing is a part of sacred ceremonies reserved for those who will become kings and queens, priests and priestesses. We are anointed in the process or receiving all that Christ has received from the Father.
