El Gibbor — Mighty God
אֵל גִּבּוֹר
Mighty God, God the Warrior — one of the four throne-names of the child of Isaiah 9:6.
Jewish reading applies the title to God whose might shields the Davidic king; Messianic and Christian reading marvels that the title sits on a child that is born — deity named in the cradle. Either way, might belongs to this Name alone.
