PROPHECY OF NAMES During World War II, my father-in-law spent 18 months in a prisoner-of-war camp. In the camp, loudspeakers often played music, and one of the songs that was heard repeatedly was “Lili Marlene.” Somehow it gave him hope, and he fell in love with the beauty of that name. Years later he gave that name, which was filled with personal significance, to his only daughter—my wife Marlene. Names are like that. They have great importance in human relationships. Nowhere, however, is a name more important than in our relationship with the living Lord. In a way that sets Him apart from all others, He ties His name to His reputation, and then to His own selfintroduction as “God with us.” This booklet is about the amazing prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, where the prophet, 700 years before the coming of Messiah, described the One whose names reveal His importance to us.

名字里有什么？

名字的预言 二战期间，我岳父在战俘营里待了 18 个月。在营地里，扩音器经常播放音乐，反复听到的歌曲之一是“莉莉玛琳”。不知何故，这给了他希望，他爱上了这个名字的美丽。多年后，他把这个充满个人意义的名字给了他唯一的女儿——我的妻子玛琳。名字都是这样。他们在人际关系中非常重要。然而，在我们与永生主的关系中，没有什么比名字更重要的了。以一种使他与众不同的方式，他将他的名字与他的声誉联系起来，然后与他自己的自我介绍联系在一起，即“上帝与我们同在”。这本小册子讲述了以赛亚书 9:6 的惊人预言，先知在弥赛亚来临前 700 年，描述了他的名字向我们揭示了他的重要性的那一位。比尔·克劳德
