Comparing the Hebrew of Isaiah 9.6 to most popular English translations results in some serious questions. Why have our translations changed the tense of the verbs from past to future? Why is this child called “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father”? In this presentation I work through Isaiah 9.6 line by line to help you understand the Hebrew. Next I look at interpretive options for the child as well as his complicated name. Not only will this presentation strengthen your understanding of Isaiah 9.6, but it will also equip you to explain it to others.

Abstract Working through the grammar and syntax, I present the case that Isaiah 9:6 is the birth announcement of a historical child. After carefully analyzing the name given to the child and the major interpretive options, I make a case that the name is theophoric. Like the named children of Isaiah 7 and 8, the sign-child of Isaiah 9 prophecies what God, not the child, will do. Although I argue for Hezekiah as the original fulfillment, I also see Isaiah 9:6 as a messianic prophecy of the true and better Hezekiah through whom God will bring eternal deliverance and peace. Introduction Paul D. Wegner called Isaiah 9:6[1] “one of the most difficult problems in the study of the Old Testament.”[2] To get an initial handle on the complexities of this text, let's begin briefly by comparing the Hebrew to a typical translation. Isaiah 9:6 (BHS[3]) כִּי־יֶ֣לֶד יֻלַּד־לָ֗נוּ בֵּ֚ן נִתַּן־לָ֔נוּ וַתְּהִ֥י הַמִּשְׂרָ֖ה עַל־שִׁכְמ֑וֹ וַיִּקְרָ֨א שְׁמ֜וֹ פֶּ֠לֶא יוֹעֵץ֙ אֵ֣ל גִּבּ֔וֹר אֲבִיעַ֖ד שַׂר־שָׁלֽוֹם׃ Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Curiosities abound in the differences between these two. The first two clauses in English, “For to us a child is born” and “to us a son is given,” employ the present tense while the Hebrew uses the perfect tense, i.e. “to us a child has been born.”[4] This has a significant bearing on whether we take the prophecy as a statement about a child already born in Isaiah's time or someone yet to come (or both). The ESV renders the phrase,וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ  (vayikra sh'mo), as “and his name shall be called,” but the words literally mean “and he called his name” where the “he” is unspecified. This leaves room for the possibility of identifying the subject of the verb in the subsequent phrase, i.e. “And the wonderful counselor, the mighty God called his name…” as many Jewish translations take it.  Questions further abound regardingאֵל גִּבּוֹר (el gibbor), which finds translations as disparate as the traditional “Mighty God”[5] to “divine warrior”[6] to “in battle God-like”[7] to “Mighty chief”[8] to “Godlike hero,”[9] to Luther's truncated “Held.”[10]  Another phrase that elicits a multiplicity of translations is אֲבִיעַד (aviad). Although most versions read “Eternal Father,”[11] others render the word, “Father-Forever,”[12] “Father for all time,”[13] “Father of perpetuity,”[14] “Father of the Eternal Age,”[15] and “Father of Future.”[16] Translators from a range of backgrounds struggle with these two phrases. Some refuse to translate them at all, preferring clunky transliterations.[17] Still, as I will show below, there's a better way forward. If we understand that the child had a theophoric name—a name that is not about him, but about God—our problems dissipate like morning fog before the rising sun. Taking the four pairs of words this way yields a two-part sentence name. As we'll see this last approach is not only the best contextual option, but it also allows us to take the Hebrew vocabulary, grammar, and syntax at face value, rather than succumbing to strained translations and interpretational gymnastics. In the end, we're left with a text literally rendered and hermeneutically robust. Called or Will Call His Name? Nearly all the major Christian versions translate וַיִּקְרָא (vayikra), “he has called,” as “he will be called.” This takes an active past tense verb as a passive future tense.[18] What is going on here? Since parents typically give names at birth or shortly thereafter, it wouldn't make sense to suggest the child was already born (as the beginning of Isa 9:6 clearly states), but then say he was not yet named. Additionally, וַיִּקְרָא (vayikra) is a vav-conversive plus imperfect construction that continues the same timing sequence of the preceding perfect tense verbs.[19] If the word were passive (niphal binyan) we would read וַיִּקָּרֵא (vayikarey) instead of וַיִּקְרָא (vayikra). Although some have suggested an emendation of the Masoretic vowels to make this change, Hugh Williamson notes, “there is no overriding need to prefer it.”[20] Translators may justify rendering the perfect tense as imperfect due to the idiom called a prophetic past tense (perfectum propheticum). Wilhelm Gesenius notes the possibility that a prophet “so transports himself in imagination into the future that he describes the future event as if it had been already seen or heard by him.”[21] Bruce Waltke recognizes the phenomenon, calling it an accidental perfective in which “a speaker vividly and dramatically represents a future situation both as complete and independent.”[22] Still, it's up to the interpreter to determine if Isaiah employs this idiom or not. The verbs of verse 6 seem quite clear: “a child has been born for us … and the government was on his shoulder … and he has called his name…” When Isaiah uttered this prophecy, the child had already been born and named and the government rested on his shoulders. This is the straightforward reading of the grammar and therefore should be our starting point.[23] Hezekiah as the Referent One of the generally accepted principles of hermeneutics is to first ask the question, “What did this text mean in its original context?” before asking, “What does this text mean to us today?” When we examine the immediate context of Isa 9:6, we move beyond the birth announcement of a child with an exalted name to a larger prophecy of breaking the yoke of an oppressor (v4) and the ushering in of a lasting peace for the throne of David (v7). Isaiah lived in a tumultuous time. He saw the northern kingdom—the nation of Israel—uprooted from her land and carried off by the powerful and cruel Assyrian Empire. He prophesied about a child whose birth had signaled the coming freedom God would bring from the yoke of Assyria. As Jewish interpreters have long pointed out, Hezekiah nicely fits this expectation.[24] In the shadow of this looming storm, Hezekiah became king and instituted major religious reforms,[25] removing idolatry and turning the people to Yahweh. The author of kings gave him high marks: “He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel. After him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah nor among those who were before him” (2 Kgs 18:5).[26] Then, during Hezekiah's reign, Sennacherib sent a large army against Judea and laid siege to Jerusalem. Hezekiah appropriately responded to the threatening Assyrian army by tearing his clothes, covering himself with sackcloth, and entering the temple to pray (2 Kings 19:1). He sent word to Isaiah, requesting prayer for the dire situation. Ultimately God brought miraculous deliverance, killing 185,000 Assyrians, which precipitated a retreat. There had not been such an acute military deliverance since the destruction of Pharaoh's army in the sea. Indeed, Hezekiah's birth did signal God's coming deliverance. In opposition to Hezekiah as the referent for Isa 9:6, Christian interpreters have pointed out that Hezekiah did not fulfill this prophecy en toto. Specifically, Hezekiah did not usher in “an endless peace” with justice and righteousness “from this time onward and forevermore” (Isa. 9:7). But, as John Roberts points out, the problem only persists if we ignore prophetic hyperbole. Here's what he says: If Hezekiah was the new king idealized in this oracle, how could Isaiah claim he would reign forever? How could Isaiah so ignore Israel's long historical experience as to expect no new source of oppression would ever arise? The language, as is typical of royal ideology, is hyperbolic, and perhaps neither Isaiah nor his original audience would have pushed it to its limits, beyond its conventional frames of reference, but the language itself invites such exploitation. If one accepts God's providential direction of history, it is hard to complain about the exegetical development this exploitation produced.[27] Evangelical scholar Ben Witherington III likewise sees a reference to both Hezekiah and a future deliverer. He writes, “[T]he use of the deliberately hyperbolic language that the prophet knew would not be fulfilled in Hezekiah left open the door quite deliberately to look for an eschatological fulfillment later.”[28] Thus, even if Isaiah's prophecy had an original referent, it left the door open for a true and better Hezekiah, who would not just defeat Assyria, but all evil, and not just for a generation, but forever. For this reason, it makes sense to take a “both-and” approach to Isa 9:6. Who Called His Name? Before going on to consider the actual name given to the child, we must consider the subject of the word וַיִּקְרָא (vayikra), “and he called.” Jewish interpreters have and continue to take אֵל גִבּוֹר (el gibbor), “Mighty God,” as the subject of this verb. Here are a few examples of this rendering: Targum Jonathan (2nd century) And his name has been called from before the One Who Causes Wonderful Counsel, God the Warrior, the Eternally Existing One—the Messiah who will increase peace upon us in his days.[29] Shlomo Yitzchaki (11th century) The Holy One, blessed be He, Who gives wondrous counsel, is a mighty God and an everlasting Father, called Hezekiah's name, “the prince of peace,” since peace and truth will be in his days.[30] Jacob ben Isaac Ashkenazi (16th century) “For a child is born to us.” A son will be born and this is Hezekiah. Though Ahaz is an evildoer, his son Hezekiah will be a righteous king. He will be strong in his service of the Holy One. He will study Torah and the Holy One will call him, “eternal father, peaceful ruler.” In his days there will be peace and truth.[31] The Stone Edition of the Tanach (20th century) The Wondrous Adviser, Mighty God, Eternal Father, called his name Sar-shalom [Prince of Peace][32] Although sometimes Christian commentators blithely accuse Jewish scholars of avoiding the implications of calling the child “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father,” the grammar does allow multiple options here. The main question is whether Isaiah specified the subject of the verb וַיִקְרָ (vayikra) or not. If he has, then the subject must be אֵל גִבּוֹר (el gibbor). If he has not, then the subject must be indefinite (i.e. “he” or “one”). What's more, the Masoretic punctuation of the Hebrew suggests the translation, “and the Wonderful Adviser, the Mighty God called his name, ‘Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace'”[33] However, Keil and Delitzsch point out problems with this view on both grammatical and contextual grounds. They write: [I]t is impossible to conceive for what precise reason such a periphrastic description of God should be employed in connection with the naming of this child, as is not only altogether different from Isaiah's usual custom, but altogether unparalleled in itself, especially without the definite article. The names of God should at least have been defined thus, הַיּוֹעֵץ פֵּלֶא הַגִּבּוֹר, so as to distinguish them from the two names of the child.”[34] Thus, though the Masoretic markings favor the Jewish translation, the grammar doesn't favor taking “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God” as the subject. It's certainly not impossible, but it is a strained reading without parallels in Isaiah and without justification in the immediate context. Let's consider another possibility. His Name Has Been Called Instead of taking אֵל גִּבּוֹר (el gibbor) as the subject, we can posit an indefinite subject for וַיִקְרָ (vayikra): “one has called.” Examples of this outside of Isaiah 9:6 include Gen 11:9; 25:26; Exod 15:23; and 2 Sam 2:16. The phenomenon appears in Gesenius (§144d) and Joüon and Muraoka (§155e), both of which include our text as examples. However, the translation “one has called his name” is awkward in English due to our lack of a generic pronoun like on in French or man in German. Accordingly, most translations employ the passive construction: “his name has been called,” omitting the subject.[35] This is apparently also how those who produced the Septuagint (LXX) took the Hebrew text, employing a passive rather than an active verb.[36] In conclusion, the translation “his name has been called” works best in English. Mighty Hero Now we broach the question of how to render אֵל גִּבּוֹר el gibbor. As I've already noted, a few translations prefer “mighty hero.” But this reading is problematic since it takes the two words in reverse order. Although in English we typically put an adjective before the noun it modifies, in Hebrew the noun comes first and then any adjectives that act upon it. Taking the phrase as אֵל גִּבּוֹר (gibbor el) makes “mighty” the noun and “God” the adjective. Now since the inner meaning of אֵל (el) is “strong” or “mighty,” and גִּבּוֹר gibbor means “warrior” or “hero,” we can see how translators end up with “mighty warrior” or “divine hero.” Robert Alter offers the following explanation: The most challenging epithet in this sequence is ‘el gibor [sic], which appears to say “warrior-god.” The prophet would be violating all biblical usage if he called the Davidic king “God,” and that term is best construed here as some sort of intensifier. In fact, the two words could conceivably be a scribal reversal of gibor ‘el, in which case the second word would clearly function as a suffix of intensification as it occasionally does elsewhere in the Bible.[37] Please note that Alter's motive for reversing the two words is that the text, as it stands, would violate all biblical usage by calling the Davidic king “God.” But Alter is incorrect. We have another biblical usage calling the Davidic king “God” in Psalm 45:6. We must allow the text to determine interpretation. Changing translation for the sake of theology is allowing the tail to wag the dog. Another reason to doubt “divine warrior” as a translation is that “Wherever ʾēl gibbôr occurs elsewhere in the Bible there is no doubt that the term refers to God (10:21; cf. also Deut. 10:17; Jer. 32:18),” notes John Oswalt.[38] Keil and Delitzsch likewise see Isa 10:21 as the rock upon which these translations suffer shipwreck.[39] “A remnant will return,” says Isa 10:21, “the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.” The previous verse makes it clear that “mighty God” refers to none other than “Yahweh, the holy one of Israel.” Without counter examples elsewhere in the Bible, we lack the basis to defy the traditional ordering of “God” as the noun and “mighty” or “warrior” as the adjective.[40] Mighty God-Man Did Isaiah foresee a human child who would also be the mighty God? Did he suddenly get “a glimpse of the fact that in the fullness of the Godhead there is a plurality of Persons,” as Edward Young thought?[41] Although apologists seeking to prove the deity of Christ routinely push for this reading, other evangelical scholars have expressed doubts about such a bold interpretation.[42] Even Keil and Delitzsch, after zealously batting away Jewish alternatives, admit Isaiah's language would not have suggested an incarnate deity in its original context.[43] Still, it would not be anachronistic to regard a king as a deity in the context of the ancient Near East. We find such exalted language in parallels from Egypt and Assyria in their accession oracles (proclamations given at the time a new king ascends the throne). Taking their cue from the Egyptian practices of bestowing divine throne names upon the Pharaoh's accession to the throne, G. von Rad and A. Alt envisioned a similar practice in Jerusalem. Although quite influential, Wegner has pointed out several major problems with this way of looking at our text: (1) the announcement is to the people in Isa 9:6, not the king; (2) Isa 9:6 does not use adoption language nor call the child God's son; (3) יֶלֶד (yeled), “child,” is never used in accession oracles; (4) the Egyptian parallels have five titles not four as in Isa 9:6; (5) Egyptians employ a different structure for accession oracles than Isa 9:6; and (6) we have no evidence elsewhere that Judean kings imitated the Egyptian custom of bestowing divine titles.[44] Another possibility, argued by R. A. Carlson, is to see the names as anti-Assyrian polemic.[45] Keeping in mind that Assyria was constantly threatening Judah in the lifetime of Isaiah and that the child born was to signal deliverance, it would be no surprise that Isaiah would cast the child as a deliberate counter-Assyrian hero. Still, as Oswalt points out, “[T]he Hebrews did not believe this [that their kings were gods]. They denied that the king was anything more than the representative of God.”[46] Owing to a lack of parallels within Israel and Isaiah's own penchant for strict monotheism,[47] interpreting Isa 9:6 as presenting a God-man is ad hoc at best and outright eisegesis at worst. Furthermore, as I've already noted, the grammar of the passage indicates a historical child who was already born. Thus, if Isaiah meant to teach the deity of the child, we'd have two God-men: Hezekiah and Jesus. Far from a courtly scene of coronation, Wegner makes the case that our text is really a birth announcement in form. Birth announcements have (1) a declaration of the birth, (2) an announcement of the child's name, (3) an explanation of what the name means, and (4) a further prophecy about the child's future.[48] These elements are all present in Isa 9:6, making it a much better candidate for a birth announcement than an accession or coronation oracle. As a result, we should not expect divine titles given to the king like when the Pharaohs or Assyrian kings ascended the throne; instead, we ought to look for names that somehow relate to the child's career. We will delve more into this when we broach the topic of theophoric names. Mighty God's Agent Another possibility is to retain the traditional translation of “mighty God” and see the child as God's agent who bears the title. In fact, the Bible calls Moses[49] and the judges[50] of Israel אֱלֹהִים (elohim), “god(s),” due to their role in representing God. Likewise, as I've already mentioned, the court poet called the Davidic King “god” in Ps 45:6. Additionally, the word אֵל (el), “god,” refers to representatives of Yahweh whether divine (Ps 82:1, 6) or human (John 10.34ff).[51] Thus, Isa 9:6 could be another case in which a deputized human acting as God's agent is referred to as God. The NET nicely explains: [H]aving read the NT, we might in retrospect interpret this title as indicating the coming king's deity, but it is unlikely that Isaiah or his audience would have understood the title in such a bold way. Ps 45:6 addresses the Davidic king as “God” because he ruled and fought as God's representative on earth. …When the king's enemies oppose him on the battlefield, they are, as it were, fighting against God himself.[52] Raymond Brown admits that this “may have been looked on simply as a royal title.”[53] Likewise Williamson sees this possibility as “perfectly acceptable,” though he prefers the theophoric approach.[54] Even the incarnation-affirming Keil and Delitzsch recognize that calling the child אֵל גִּבּוֹר (el gibbor) is “nothing further…than this, that the Messiah would be the image of God as no other man ever had been (cf., El, Ps. 82:1), and that He would have God dwelling within Him (cf., Jer. 33:16).”[55] Edward L. Curtis similarly points out that had Isaiah meant to teach that the child would be an incarnation of Yahweh, he would have “further unfolded and made central this thought” throughout his book.[56] He likewise sees Isa 9:6 not as teaching “the incarnation of a deity” but as a case “not foreign to Hebrew usage to apply divine names to men of exalted position,” citing Exod 21:6 and Ps 82:6 as parallels.[57] Notwithstanding the lexical and scholarly support for this view, not to mention my own previous position[58] on Isa 9:6, I'm no longer convinced that this is the best explanation. It's certainly possible to call people “Gods” because they are his agents, but it is also rare. We'll come to my current view shortly, but for now, let's approach the second controversial title. Eternal Father The word אֲבִיעַד (aviad), “Eternal Father,” is another recognizable appellative for Yahweh. As I mentioned in the introduction, translators have occasionally watered down the phrase, unwilling to accept that a human could receive such a title. But humans who pioneer an activity or invent something new are fathers.[59] Walking in someone's footsteps is metaphorically recognizing him as one's father.[60] Caring for others like a father is yet another way to think about it.[61] Perhaps the child is a father in one of these figurative senses. If we follow Jerome and translate אֲבִיעַד (aviad) as Pater futuri saeculi, “Father of the future age,” we can reconfigure the title, “Eternal Father,” from eternal without beginning to eternal with a beginning but without an end. However, notes Williamson, “There is no parallel to calling the king ‘Father,' rather the king is more usually designated as God's son.”[62] Although we find Yahweh referred to as “Father” twice in Isaiah (Isa 63:16; 64:7), and several more times throughout the Old Testament,[63] the Messiah is not so called. Even in the New Testament we don't see the title applied to Jesus. Although not impossible to be taken as Jesus's fatherly role to play in the age to come, the most natural way to take אֲבִיעַד (aviad) is as a reference to Yahweh. In conclusion, both “mighty God” and “eternal Father” most naturally refer to Yahweh and not the child. If this is so, why is the child named with such divine designations? A Theophoric Name Finally, we are ready to consider the solution to our translation and interpretation woes. Israelites were fond of naming their kids with theophoric names (names that “carry God”). William Holladay explains: Israelite personal names were in general of two sorts. Some of them were descriptive names… But most Israelite personal names were theophoric; that is, they involve a name or title or designation of God, with a verb or adjective or noun which expresses a theological affirmation. Thus “Hezekiah” is a name which means “Yah (= Yahweh) is my strength,” and “Isaiah” is a name which means “Yah (= Yahweh) has brought salvation.” It is obvious that Isaiah is not called “Yahweh”; he bears a name which says something about Yahweh.[64] As Holladay demonstrates, when translating a theophoric name, it is customary to supplement the literal phrase with the verb, “to be.” Hezekiah = “Yah (is) my strength”; Isaiah = “Yah (is) salvation.” Similarly, Elijah means “My God (is) Yah” and Eliab, “My God (is the) Father.” Theophoric names are not about the child; they are about the God of the parents. When we imagine Elijah's mother calling him for dinner, she's literally saying “My God (is) Yah(weh), it's time for dinner.” The child's name served to remind her who her God was. Similarly, these other names spoke of God's strength, salvation, and fatherhood. To interpret the named child of Isa 9:6 correctly, we must look at the previously named children in Isa 7 and 8. In chapter 7 the boy is called “Immanuel,” meaning “God (is) with us” (Isa 7:14). This was a historical child who signaled prophecy. Isaiah said, “For before the boy knows to reject evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned” (Isa 7:16). In Isa 8:1 we encounter “Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz,” or “The spoil speeds, the prey hastens.”[65] This child has a two-sentence name with an attached prophecy: “For before the boy calls, ‘my father' or ‘my mother,' the strength of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off before the king of Assyria” (Isa 8:4). Both children's sign names did not describe them nor what they would do, but what God would do for his people. Immanuel is a statement of faith. The name means God has not abandoned his people; they can confidently say, “God is with us” (Isa 8:10). Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz does not mean that the child would become a warrior to sack Damascus and seize her spoils, but that God would bring about the despoiling of Judah's enemy. When we encounter a third sign-named child in as many chapters, we are on solid contextual grounds to see this new, longer name in the same light. Isaiah prophecies that this child has the government upon his shoulder, sits on the throne of David, and will establish a lasting period of justice and righteousness (Isa 9:5, 7). This child bears the name “Pele-Yoets-El-Gibbor-Aviad-Sar-Shalom.” The name describes his parents' God, the mighty God, the eternal Father. Although this perspective has not yet won the day, it is well attested in a surprising breadth of resources. Already in 1867, Samuel David Luzzatto put forward this position.[66] The Jewish Publication Society concurred in their 2014 study Bible: Semitic names often consist of sentences that describe God … These names do not describe that person who holds them but the god whom the parents worship. Similarly, the name given to the child in this v. does not describe that child or attribute divinity to him, but describes God's actions.[67] The New Oxford Annotated Bible (NRSV) footnote on Isa. 9:6 says, “As in many Israelite personal names, the deity, not the person named, is being described.”[68] Additional scholars advocating the view also include Holladay (1978), Wegner (1992), Goldingay (1999, 2015), and Williamson (2018). Even so, Keil and Delitzsch eschew “such a sesquipedalian name,” calling it “unskillful,” and arguing that it would be impractical “to be uttered in one breath.”[69] But this is to take the idea too literally. No one is going to actually call the child by this name. John Goldingay helpfully explains: So he has that complicated name, “An-extraordinary-counselor-is-the-warrior-God, the-everlasting-Father-is-an-officer-for-well-being.” Like earlier names in Isaiah (God-is-with-us, Remains-Will-Return, Plunder-hurries-loot-rushes), the name is a sentence. None of these names are the person's everyday name—as when the New Testament says that Jesus will be called Immanuel, “God [is] with us,” without meaning this expression is Jesus' name. Rather, the person somehow stands for whatever the “name” says. God gives him a sign of the truth of the expression attached to him. The names don't mean that the person is God with us, or is the remains, or is the plunder, and likewise this new name doesn't mean the child is what the name says. Rather he is a sign and guarantee of it. It's as if he goes around bearing a billboard with that message and with the reminder that God commissioned the billboard.[70] Still, there's the question of identifying Yahweh as שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם (sar shalom). Since most of our translations render the phrase “Prince of Peace,” and the common meaning of a prince is someone inferior to the king, we turn away from labeling God with this title. Although HALOT mentions “representative of the king, official” for the first definition their second is “person of note, commander.”[71] The BDB glosses “chieftain, chief, ruler, official, captain, prince” as their first entry.[72] Wegner adds: “The book of Isaiah also appears to use the word sar in the general sense of “ruler.””[73] Still, we must ask, is it reasonable to think of Yahweh as a שַׂר (sar)? We find the phrase שַׂר־הַצָּבָא (sar-hatsava), “prince of hosts,” in Daniel 8:11 and שַׂר־שָׂרִים (sar-sarim), “prince of princes,” in verse 25, where both refer to God.[74]  The UBS Translators' Handbook recommends “God, the chief of the heavenly army” for verse 11 and “the greatest of all kings” for verse 25.[75] The handbook discourages using “prince,” since “the English word ‘prince' does not mean the ruler himself but rather the son of the ruler, while the Hebrew term always designates a ruler, not at all implying son of a ruler.”[76] I suggest applying this same logic to Isa 9:6. Rather than translating שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם (sar shalom) as “Prince of Peace,” we can render it, “Ruler of Peace” or “Ruler who brings peace.” Translating the Name Sentences Now that I've laid out the case for the theophoric approach, let's consider translation possibilities. Wegner writes, “the whole name should be divided into two parallel units each containing one theophoric element.”[77] This makes sense considering the structure of Maher-shalal-hash-baz, which translates two parallel name sentences: “The spoil speeds, the prey hastens.” Here are a few options for translating the name. Jewish Publication Society (1917) Wonderful in counsel is God the Mighty, the Everlasting Father, the Ruler of peace[78] William Holladay (1978) Planner of wonders; God the war hero (is) Father forever; prince of well-being[79] New Jewish Publication Society (1985) The Mighty God is planning grace; The Eternal Father, a peaceable ruler[80] John Goldingay (1999) One who plans a wonder is the warrior God; the father for ever is a commander who brings peace[81] John Goldingay (2015) An-extraordinary-counselor-is-the-warrior-God, the-everlasting-Fathers-is-an-official-for-well-being[82] Hugh Williamson (2018) A Wonderful Planner is the Mighty God, An Eternal Father is the Prince of Peace[83] My Translation (2024) The warrior God is a miraculous strategist; the eternal Father is the ruler who brings peace[84] I prefer to translate אֵל גִּבּוֹר (el gibbor) as “warrior God” rather than “mighty God” because the context is martial, and  גִּבּוֹר(gibbor) often refers to those fighting in war.[85] “Mighty God” is ambiguous, and easily decontextualized from the setting of Isa 9:6. After all, Isa 9:4-5 tells a great victory “as on the day of Midian”—a victory so complete that they burn “all the boots of the tramping warriors” in the fire. The word פֶּלֶא (pele), though often translated “wonderful,” is actually the word for “miracle,” and יוֹעֵץ (yoets) is a participle meaning “adviser” or “planner.” Since the context is war, this “miracle of an adviser” or “miraculous planner” refers to military plans—what we call strategy, hence, “miraculous strategist.” Amazingly, the tactic God employed in the time of Hezekiah was to send out an angel during the night who “struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians” (Isa 37:36). This was evidently the warrior God's miraculous plan to remove the threat of Assyria from Jerusalem's doorstep. Prophecies about the coming day of God when he sends Jesus Christ—the true and better Hezekiah—likewise foretell of an even greater victory over the nations.[86] In fact, just two chapters later we find a messianic prophecy of one who will “strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked” (Isa 11:4). The next phrase, “The eternal Father,” needs little comment since God's eternality and fatherhood are both noncontroversial and multiply attested. Literally translated, שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם (sar-shalom) is “Ruler of peace,” but I take the word pair as a genitive of product.[87] Williamson unpacks this meaning as “the one who is able to initiate and maintain Peace.”[88] That his actions in the time of Hezekiah brought peace is a matter of history. After a huge portion of the Assyrian army died, King Sennacherib went back to Nineveh, where his sons murdered him (Isa 37:37-38). For decades, Judah continued to live in her homeland. Thus, this child's birth signaled the beginning of the end for Assyria. In fact, the empire itself eventually imploded, a fate that, at Hezekiah's birth, must have seemed utterly unthinkable. Of course, the ultimate peace God will bring through his Messiah will far outshine what Hezekiah achieved.[89] Conclusion We began by considering the phraseוַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ  (vayikra sh'mo). We noted that the tense is perfect, which justifies a past-tense interpretation of the child who had already been born by the time of the birth announcement. I presented the case for Hezekiah as the initial referent of Isa 9:6 based on the fact that Hezekiah’s life overlapped with Isaiah’s, that he sat on the throne of David (v7), and that his reign saw the miraculous deliverance from Assyria's army. Furthermore, I noted that identifying the child of Isa 9:6 as Hezekiah does not preclude a true and better one to come. Although Isa 9:6 does not show up in the New Testament, I agree with the majority of Christians who recognize this text as a messianic prophecy, especially when combined with verse 7. Next we puzzled over the subject for phraseוַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ  (vayikra sh'mo.) Two options are that the phrase פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ אֵל גִּבּוֹר (pele yoets el gibbor) functions as the subject or else the subject is indefinite. Although the Jewish interpreters overwhelmingly favor the former, the lack of definite articles and parallel constructions in Isaiah make me think the latter is more likely. Still, the Jewish approach to translation is a legitimate possibility. I explained how a passive voice makes sense in English since it hides the subject, and settled on “his name has been called,” as the best translation. Then we looked at the phrase אֵל גִּבּוֹר (el gibbor) and considered the option of switching the order of the words and taking the first as the modifier of the second as in “mighty hero” or “divine warrior.” We explored the possibility that Isaiah was ascribing deity to the newborn child. We looked at the idea of Isaiah calling the boy “Mighty God” because he represented God. In the end we concluded that these all are less likely than taking God as the referent, especially in light of the identical phrase in Isa 10:21 where it unambiguously refers to Yahweh. Moving on to אֲבִיעַד (aviad), we considered the possibility that “father” could refer to someone who started something significant and “eternal” could merely designate a coming age. Once again, though these are both possible readings, they are strained and ad hoc, lacking any indication in the text to signal a non-straightforward reading. So, as with “Mighty God,” I also take “Eternal Father” as simple references to God and not the child. Finally, we explored the notion of theophoric names. Leaning on two mainstream Bible translations and five scholars, from Luzzatto to Williamson, we saw that this lesser-known approach is quite attractive. Not only does it take the grammar at face value, it also explains how a human being could be named “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” The name describes God and not the child who bears it. Lastly, drawing on the work of the Jewish Publication Society, Goldingay, and Williamson, I proposed the translation: “The warrior God is a miraculous strategist; the eternal Father is the ruler who brings peace.” This rendering preserves the martial context of Isa 9:6 and glosses each word according to its most common definition. I added in the verb “is” twice as is customary when translating theophoric names. The result is a translation that recognizes God as the focus and not the child. This fits best in the immediate context, assuming Hezekiah is the original referent. After all, his greatest moment was not charging out ahead of a column of soldiers, but his entering the house of Yahweh and praying for salvation. God took care of everything else. Likewise, the ultimate Son of David will have God's spirit influencing him: a spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of God (Isa 11:2). The eternal Father will so direct his anointed that he will “not judge by what his eyes see or decide by what his ears hear” (Isa 11:3). In his days God will bring about a shalom so deep that even the animals will become peaceful (Isa 11:6-8). An advantage of this reading of Isa 9:6 is that it is compatible with the full range of christological positions Christians hold. Secondly, this approach nicely fits with the original meaning in Isaiah’s day, and it works for the prophecy’s ultimate referent in Christ Jesus. Additionally, it is the interpretation with the least amount of special pleading. Finally, it puts everything into the correct order, allowing exegesis to drive theology rather than the other way around.

Chat GPT translation: “And behold, the intention in the phrase ‘Wonderful Counselor’ and so on is that the mighty God, who is the Eternal Father and the Prince of Peace, is the Counselor and decrees to perform a wonder for Israel at the time of the reign of the child born today. Afterwards, it is explained as ‘to increase the dominion’ and so on. According to this interpretation, it is not in vain that the prophet elaborates on the attributes of God here, for the prophet’s intention is to hint that when the wonder that God now advises and decrees comes about, it will be known that He is the Mighty God and possesses the ability and that He is the Eternal Father. He will not break His covenant with His sons, the children of Israel, nor forget the covenant of their ancestors.

Are our hands so full of money that we can't receive the generosity of God? Gavin Bennett argues that how we handle money is key to our apprenticeship to Jesus. He shows us that when our generosity is rooted in God's generosity, we can more fully step into our role as stewards of the resources God's entrusted to us.

Vinnie Nguyen and his wife, Phi Phi Lam, started their food truck, Pho Wheels, so that they could have more time to spend with their children. “The hours and restaurants are just really long,” Nguyen said. “You go in — opening, you've done everything — by the time you go home, it's almost midnight as well. I miss a lot of time with my children. I was a stay-at-home dad at the beginning when they were born for like five and a half years and when going back to the workforce, it just felt like I was missing a part of myself.” Nguyen has spent much of his life around restaurants. His family has been in the restaurant business and he has worked in a number of kitchens around Orlando, such as Umi Japanese Fusion in Winter Park and Hana Sushi in Altamonte Springs. “I just love how food makes people feel and any kind of a field that you're in it's really hard to try to please a lot of people,” he said. “But if you get the correct ingredients, the correct food, it makes people happy and that's our kind of occupation.” However, after spending time as a stay-at-home dad, Nguyen decided it was best to be his own boss. “If we don't make enough money, we'll just spend less money. So that's that's our scenario,” Nguyen said. “We're not as successful as some restaurants are but we do get to spend the most amount of time with our kids. We try to work during the time when they're at school so that when they come home, they don't even know that we left for work.” Even though Pho Wheels gives the couple the freedom to spend plenty of time with their children, it does still keep them busy. “We've been all the way to Winter Garden. We've been to Tampa, we serve a lot over in Titusville, in the Space Coast area, but most of the time we are headquartered in Winter Park and we serve a lot of the outer Orlando area — downtown a lot,” Nguyen said. Getting ready for each event also has the couple working long hours. “The prep time is a lot. We do wake up early, and we do stay up late, but those are the schedules that we picked so that we can have the time with our child. It is a lot different from a brick-and-mortar where you have enough water, enough electricity — so it does take a lot of adjustment,” Nguyen said. The couple serves a variety of Asian street food including Vietnamese dishes like pho, Korean fried chicken and even some sushi. So we just love that we're able to accommodate a lot of the Asian culture and a lot of different food for all our events,” Nguyen said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Nguyen and his wife talk about what it is like to work together in their food truck. They also show off some of their favorite dishes.

Check it out below: Chad Zdenek (00:00:00) - And anyone who's kind of grown and scaled something they know, like there's always a time period before before you reach the goal, right? Where you just you just got to bust bust chops. And for me, it's actually one of my core values is grit. And and that's something that's always rung true to me. And right now, like, I'm in that gritty time period in real estate.   Sam Wilson (00:00:21) - Welcome to the How to scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Chad Zdenek is a licensed general contractor, a professional engineer, a former CEO of Mobile Illumination. He's a triple master's degree graduate. And Chad has a million other things going on as well. Chad, I'm excited to have you on the show today. Thanks for. Thanks for coming on.   Chad Zdenek (00:00:49) - You bet, Sam. Glad to be with you.   Sam Wilson (00:00:51) - Absolutely. Chad. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes to the show in 90s or less.   Sam Wilson (00:00:55) - Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Chad Zdenek (00:00:59) - Sure. So technically, I started out as a rocket scientist working on the space shuttle main engines. I got there by studying civil engineering and structural engineering and eventually transitioned into running a business with my brother, which we ran for 15 years, built it up to about 75 employees, three warehouses, sold it in 2018 and went into real estate full time. And that's what I've been doing ever since.   Sam Wilson (00:01:25) - That is a wild, wild journey. Just a little bit. You've told me right there. I mean, it's like every child's dream, right? Like some of them would be an astronaut someday. I'm gonna work on the space shuttle. Like, that's at least it was for me as a child of the 80s. Like, oh, my gosh. Like, you know, space. That's really cool. Why did you quit that and go into doing business with your brother?   Chad Zdenek (00:01:47) - Yeah, so that's a good question.   Chad Zdenek (00:01:48) - And it really comes down to like my passion. So I've, I've always been an entrepreneur at heart. I've founded or helped found eight different companies. And even though I worked at Rocketdyne, who was purchased by Boeing, Fortune 100 company, huge company, obviously a lot of systems and processes. It just wasn't really me. I'm really an entrepreneur and so I wound up leaving that to go work with my brother on a business he started. I was getting my MBA at UCLA at the time and using his business as my my pet project, if you will, focusing on entrepreneurial studies, and then eventually joined him to help scale that business. So. So yeah, that's kind of how it started out. But it was rocket science work is super technical, really fun, but a little too much bureaucracy for me. I'm just I'm a more agile entrepreneur at heart.   Sam Wilson (00:02:43) - Wow, That's that's wild. So you and your brother had a company for 15 years that you sold in 20 1875 employees. What industry was that in?   Chad Zdenek (00:02:53) - It was a lighting business.   Chad Zdenek (00:02:55) - So primarily we actually focused on Christmas lighting, installation, service removal for large homes, big projects like Universal Studios, the Forum. If anyone's here in LA and all the any celebrity you can think of, we did their home here in LA. Largest home was 52,000 square foot actually. So we're talking like really big houses. Average might have been 10 or 15,000 square foot places. Um, and, and yeah, so that was the business. But we also did landscape lighting and wedding lighting and things like that.   Sam Wilson (00:03:28) - That's, that's a very, very nuanced.   Chad Zdenek (00:03:32) - Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:03:33) - I mean, so you, so you grew that and then there was an opportunity to, I mean after 15 years, you guys said, hey, we can 75 employees inside of a lighting company like you think of that. We said, oh, I do Christmas lighting or I do holiday lighting or whatever it is. It's like, you know, I think small in that, you know, it's like, Oh, okay, cool.   Sam Wilson (00:03:49) - You know, you guys probably do lights for a few weeks of the year and then you're done. But you guys grew this into a I mean, that's a pretty big company. Like, was that the dream all along?   Chad Zdenek (00:03:59) - Yeah. Yeah, it actually was. And we started out literally, it was just my brother and my sister and a couple of helpers. I was on the back end of that kind of doing the business side of it, if you will, the strategy. And then. And then I left. I left Rocketdyne to go work there full time with my brother. And here's a kind of an interesting tidbit. You know, you talk about entrepreneurs taking a leap, right? We all always at some point generally, you got to take a leap. And for me, I took a 50% pay cut to go work with my brother. And and he gave me half the business and promised to pay pay me that 50% pay cut was more than he was paying himself. Wow. So we both really had to compromise.   Chad Zdenek (00:04:44) - I mean, you know, the business is really small at the time. But yeah, we basically scaled that over 15 years and built it into the biggest lighting company in LA.   Sam Wilson (00:04:53) - That's awesome. What would you say is the number one thing you did to effectively scale that business?   Chad Zdenek (00:05:02) - So what was unique about it was and certainly in the beginning when we only focused on holiday lighting, we could really take off like half the year. We were just like working on the business, right? So half of you're working in the business when it was really busy time for us and the other half of the year was working on the business and we we literally reinvented the company every year and so much so that it kind of became a joke to the employees. We we paid them really well. We try to really take care of them. So we got a lot of people come back every year and they'd always come back say, okay, well, what what company is it going to be this year? Because it always changed so much.   Chad Zdenek (00:05:38) - And we invested a ton of time into developing systems and processes and that made a really big difference. And just knowing that, hey, each year we wanted the company to be different and how could we improve? And that's really how we ended up scaling it.   Sam Wilson (00:05:54) - It sounds like you kind of had baked in opportunity to review and work on the business versus working in the business.   Chad Zdenek (00:06:02) - Yeah, for sure. We, you know, like a lot of people, you know, we were obviously we weren't the first ones to this industry. There was a ton of players in the in the industry. And it's kind of like people you might think of that, you know, they might have a crew or maybe two crews if they're larger, they work a couple of months of the year and then the other month of the year they either took off or maybe they worked other jobs. But we really approached it like a business, a much different approach. And we were able to scale a lot more than these other companies.   Chad Zdenek (00:06:30) - And I think that really made a difference. And that really was a mindset knowing that we wanted to grow something to be big and we didn't want to be small and we we worked hard in the off season. That's what we did.   Sam Wilson (00:06:44) - Well, how do you find time in your business today? I mean, I think that's the the the one thing that anybody that's scaling a business or scaling a portfolio struggles with is finding finding that window or dedicating that window of time to work on systems, to work on processes, to work on building the back end of the business and not necessarily doing the business. How do you how do you incorporate that same idea into what you're doing today?   Chad Zdenek (00:07:10) - You know, that's really, really tough. And I don't have a magic solution for that. I'll say maybe the magic solution is maybe like Wizard of Oz. When you find out who's really behind the wizard, right? It's like and I'm happy to share with you guys like, I'm busting my butt right now on my business properties.   Chad Zdenek (00:07:32) - You know, I probably work maybe 80 hours a week right now. It's a it's a ton of time you got to put into it. And anyone who's kind of grown and scaled something, they know, like there's always a time period before before you reach the goal, right? Where you just you just got to bust bust chops. And for me, it's actually one of my core values is grit. And and that's something that's always rung true to me. And right now, like, I'm in that gritty time period in real estate. Right. And I know you know this, too, right? It's a lot harder right now than it was a year ago, a year and a half ago. Like we're in the trenches right now. Right. There's a lot of moving parts in these real estate deals right now. There's a lot of deals that can go sideways if you're not staying on top of it. And it's just a different environment with the way interest rates have gone. So I'm basically I'm working a ton right now to stay on top of things.   Chad Zdenek (00:08:24) - I'm still trying to scale my, my, my business properties. But the magic solution is not don't give up. You know, have a lot of grit. Understand? Like you got to understand anyone who's been anyone who you look up to and like be doing big things and like, wow, how do they do that? They've been in the trenches, right? I mean, look, I've started eight different companies, right? You think I know it by now, But, you know, I'm working 80 hours a week right now. It's it's crazy. And that's because I really want to get this business to to have a lot of scale. And I've got pretty ambitious plans for it. And right now I'm just in that in that trench mode where I really got to work pretty hard to get it done.   Sam Wilson (00:09:02) - You know, And I'm okay with that because I was I was talking to somebody about that recently because I'm I'm with you in a very similar spot in that we're just we're grinding it out right now.   Sam Wilson (00:09:12) - And it's it's hard work. It's hard work building the systems, building the people. It's I mean, think I told you before the call, I mean, I've been on my desk since 4:00 this morning. It's like you wake up or you crawl out of bed, you're like, I'm going to the office. I'm to put on the pot of coffee and we're walking to the office. I don't want to do that forever, but I'm okay with it for now. It's like, all right, so maybe maybe the next 6 to 12 months are really, really work hard. And I think we've I think we've kind of been sold this idea of like, oh, build your systems and then your company just takes off and then but it's like, you know what? There's I think there's a period for everyone where you just got to grind it out. And it's not ideal for a long term. I mean, you have how many kids? Five. Five kids, right? I'm not I can't quite catch you with that many.   Sam Wilson (00:09:57) - I don't want to. I got three and that's enough. But it's like, you know, you don't want to miss out on those things either, watching them grow up. So it's not a it's not a forever solution. But I think there's periods of scaling businesses where it's just like you just got to put in the time. Yeah, let's talk let's talk about your real estate business. Then we talked about the lighting company, how you grew that, which is just an amazing story in and of itself. Why did you pick real estate and then what's that journey been like for you?   Chad Zdenek (00:10:24) - Yeah. So. So real estate's been something I've always really wanted to get into. I was in construction for a few years beforehand doing construction management for large commercial properties. Like you mentioned earlier, I got my general contractor's license, so I've always I've always had an affinity for construction. I've been fairly involved in it. But that's like very transactional, if you will, right? There's not there's no real investment in that side of the business.   Chad Zdenek (00:10:50) - But if you look at a lot of people that have been successful in the real estate space, a lot of it is with real estate investments, right? And so I'd always wanted to get into that. And when I was selling the business, I really wanted to take a pause and figure out what I wanted to do before just jumping into something. My natural reaction was just jump into it, get it done and move forward, right? But I knew that this would probably be like my third and kind of final phase of my career. So I really I took some time. I had a year and a half transition out of that business to figure out what I wanted to do. And I had a really strong urge to get into real estate. Like I said, I was in construction beforehand. I had done some real estate investments on my own beforehand, and so that's when I found syndication and multifamily primarily, although I do self-storage as well. And that's where I decided to go into that because I just I knew a lot of people that had been successful in real estate and and you don't really kind of see it until you're in it.   Chad Zdenek (00:11:50) - It's kind of like maybe riding a bike, like you say, okay, that kind of looks easy. But until you actually do it, you don't really know. And the same thing happened to me in real estate, right? Like, and it really clicked when I got my first tax return back and I had all this money back from from depreciation write offs. I had the leverage from the banks and, and I saw these, these, these investments that were doing really well. And I had all the upside from the leverage. And I'm like, wow, this is how people actually do it. And it really clicked for me. Like, I kind of knew it. But like once you experience it on your tax return, it's pretty rewarding. And then and then look, we mean we unlike you, we do a lot of Class B and C properties. We fix them up. I love doing that part of things. I love construction. I like making things better for tenants and and that's kind of a rewarding part of the experience as well.   Chad Zdenek (00:12:39) - And, and we're doing good things for communities. So it kind of all fits into me as a person. And, and this will be my my third and final phase of my career. But but I love it. I don't know if I ever retire. I love what I do. But I tell you, I do not want to be working eight hours a week the rest of my life I'm with you. If having that to be a kind of a short, shorter time frame. But for now, it's a lot of work.   Sam Wilson (00:13:01) - Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. What did you do to break into commercial real estate? Because it sounds like that's where you started. You didn't take the traditional path of buy a single family home by 20 single family homes, decide that's not what you want to do, sell them off and then go into commercial real estate. It sounds like you went straight into commercial real estate. Is that a fair statement?   Chad Zdenek (00:13:20) - Yeah. Yeah, it is. And not only did I go straight into it, but I went straight into it as a solo general partner.   Chad Zdenek (00:13:26) - So my first syndication I did on my own, I did everything from A to Z, and again, it was a ton of work, but but I learned a lot because I had to do everything myself. I had ten investors on that first deal. I raised $1.2 million and and bought a ten unit apartment building here in LA. And I had a think about a 500 K CapEx budget for that. Um, so, so it was, it had a lot of moving parts, um, smaller building. But I did everything on my own and it was a great learning experience and that was my first foray into, into real estate.   Sam Wilson (00:14:07) - That's awesome. And is that where you stayed or have you taken a different path to where you are now?   Chad Zdenek (00:14:14) - Well, on the theme of scaling. I know, I know you like to talk a lot about this as well. And obviously I scaled in my last company. I wanted to scale in real estate as well, so I did several deals on my own with with limited partners and then and then began partnering with other syndicators to do larger deals and also out of state deals.   Chad Zdenek (00:14:34) - So I live in LA. My all my initial investments were in Southern California. And then when I partnered with other syndicators and began doing larger deals, I also did that out of state to try to diversify a little bit out of California and was really able to to scale that part of the business to where now I do anywhere from 200 units, 280 units somewhere around there are the property sizes that I do now with several general partners and, you know, a lot more limited partners, but just bigger deals.   Sam Wilson (00:15:13) - How how has that what you look for in a general partner changed? Maybe then when you first started partnering with people, the parameters changed it all for you.   Chad Zdenek (00:15:26) - I'd say I'd say they haven't changed a whole lot. And maybe that's the conservative side of me in terms of, you know, I'm an engineer, so I do have a little bit of paralysis by analysis, by nature. So I'm a little slower to to make these big steps or certainly like working with other people. Um, I got to be pretty comfortable with that.   Chad Zdenek (00:15:48) - So in the beginning and even to today, a lot of it is relationship based, right? So you get to know different general partners, you watch what they're doing, you interact with them, you might even invest with them as an LP initially. I've done that as well. And and you go through those steps and you can really get to know somebody and then you start to really trust them a lot more and you've got some experience watching them. You might have invested with them and then you're ready to do a deal together. I also I run background checks and all the GP's I work with just as a sanity check, even if I know them. It just kind of gives gives that extra cushion in terms of comfortability. But really I don't think it's really changed how I've done it from from the beginning till now. I still do the same kind of general process.   Sam Wilson (00:16:37) - That's cool. I love that. That's good to hear. That's good to hear. I wish I had that same story. Not that any of my partnerships have gone directions.   Sam Wilson (00:16:45) - I didn't wish for them to go, but certainly my my processes have become more refined. I'm I'm less of the engineer and more of the go get it and figure it out once, you know, build it while we're flying it, which is not a good approach necessarily that I'd recommend. Certainly that process is far more refined than it used to be. But either way, I'm always curious to see what people have to say in that regard. We we talked about this before the show kicked off, and I really want to make sure that we highlight and hear the story behind this because we're recording this. Oh, today is July 11th, 2023. So I don't know when this will come out probably in the next 60 days or so. But you guys own an asset. I think you said Orlando. Is that right? And tell me tell me the story on this, because here just to give a little preview, I'll tee it up for you then you can take it from there. But for our listeners, you've taken it from 70% occupancy to a 92% occupancy in the last six months.   Sam Wilson (00:17:39) - So if anybody's listening to this, this is in a more challenging season, I think, for multifamily properties, not the not to mention the class of multifamily property that you're doing this in. So tell us about that asset and how you guys accomplish that.   Chad Zdenek (00:17:54) - Sure. Yeah. And that's been a lot of work and it's a good case study. Certainly a challenging time to do that, that type of a lift right now. But the premise of that was that we bought a Class C property in Orlando, needed a fair amount of work, nothing too crazy, but but needed work. And we had an issue to where. When we took it over from the seller. Um, they basically, believe it or not, the seller literally closed the door on the, on the, the leasing office for like six weeks before we took over. So we did all the due diligence brought in. We even did third party due diligence, ran, walked. Every unit did what you need to do and then, you know, decided, yeah, this looks good, let's move forward with the LOI, blah blah, blah.   Chad Zdenek (00:18:43) - And, and they, they closed shortly after that period. They literally locked up the office and didn't do anything. No work orders, didn't even didn't even collect rents. I mean, it was like really, really bad. I'd never seen something like this before. And so when we finally took it over like we were, our occupancy was already way down. And from where it was, people weren't paying rent. I mean, literally we walked into a crap show and, um, and we could have gone after the seller, right? I mean, we had every right to go after the seller, but, you know, none of us are litigious type, and we just kind of buckled up and hunker down and went after it. So what we did, we brought in our own construction crew, put them up on on site. I think we had 7 or 8 guys and put them all up on site. We had a bunch of extra vacancies we weren't expecting. We had to get rid of a bunch of more people that we weren't expecting and and we went to work and we renovated.   Chad Zdenek (00:19:44) - We renovate. There's a 200 unit building, um, garden style, I think about 20, 26 buildings. And um, and we went to work and we renovated over 100 units. But what happened? So we basically, we kicked butt on construction. But what happened was our, our marketing side on the lease up side was behind for how well we were doing on the construction side. So we got so far ahead. Vacancy was way down. Like I said, we even might have been like 68%, 70% like like pretty low. And I think we took it over. It was supposed to be we bought it at like 90%. It dropped to 82% when we finally took it over. And then obviously with cleaning out some evictions, we dropped from there. And so it was a very, very difficult project. We actually had to swap out the property management company, um, part way through which anyone who's done that mid deal like that is not fun to do, especially on these larger projects.   Chad Zdenek (00:20:47) - And but the premise of the problem was we, besides what the seller left us with, we got really far ahead on construction and the marketing and lease up didn't keep up. And so we basically as a team, we took over the entire marketing department. We still at that time we still had the original property management company or our original property management company, which was new to the property, still running. But we took over the whole marketing department and we really hit the marketing pretty hard and finally we got the marketing catch up, catch up with us. We we got rid of the property management company, eventually brought someone else on and like inside of like 6 or 7 months we got it to 92% and which was a really, really heavy lift. And I'm pretty proud to say like we did that without like price concessions, right? We, um, we had four and you know, this, I mean, you do a lot of asset management. We had four asset management calls a week and, and it was all hands on deck.   Chad Zdenek (00:21:50) - There was 4 or 5 of us that were just really involved all the calls. And in the midst of all that mess, we had to swap out a property management company. I mean, it was it was so much work. So much work. But but we did it. We did it. And in this environment, I think that's pretty tough to do and it's something I'm pretty proud of.   Sam Wilson (00:22:11) - It's tough to do. I mean, one, it's tough to do. It's tough to do in this environment. Would you say would you say that the market or the or the Orlando market in and of itself helped kind of where that as it's in a more clear way because that assets in Orlando was that helpful in getting that filled just because there's better a better tenant base looking for things like would that do you think you could have pulled this off somewhere else, do it the same amount of tenacity and effort, or did the Orlando kind of tailwinds help?   Chad Zdenek (00:22:43) - Yeah, it totally helped. Right. And it kind of goes back to the basics, right? Location, location, location, right.   Chad Zdenek (00:22:50) - We're in a good location. It's actually about ten miles north of Orlando, Altamonte Springs. But yeah, it's it's a good up and coming area, a lot of population growth. So so yeah, we definitely had those tailwinds for sure. And there's no way we could have done that if we were like in a flat market or stagnant market, right? We would have had to do price concessions or something like we'd have to get creative some other way. But, but we're in a good market. We're able to do it.   Sam Wilson (00:23:17) - Yeah. And that I mean, that goes back to the three fundamentals that we always talk about, which is team first, market, second deal third, because you totally, you can't change the first two once you've closed. But the third the deal you can change. So that's you're in the right market with the right team That's really cool. Again, not to take away from the incredible amount of effort that you guys put into making that happen, but you guys got the first two things really right and so obviously you can change the deal.   Sam Wilson (00:23:45) - Post-closing And that's exactly what you guys have done. So very, very cool. Chad I've loved this. I've learned so much from you here today. There's been a blast having you come on. Just hearing your story from being a rocket scientist to then doing a lighting company, growing that, growing eight different other companies, five kids at home, grinding it out and real estate kind of carving your own path and figuring this one out as well. I'm super excited to be able to put this episode out there. Thank you again for coming on the show today. If our listeners want to get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   Chad Zdenek (00:24:16) - Yeah, best way would be properties. Com or anywhere on social media is just at Ksdk properties at Ksdk properties.   Sam Wilson (00:24:25) - We'll make sure we include that there in the show notes. Chad, thank you again. I do appreciate it.   Chad Zdenek (00:24:30) - Go, bud. Thanks, Sam.   Sam Wilson (00:24:31) - Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate podcast.   Sam Wilson (00:24:35) - If you can do me a favor and subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, whatever platform it is you use to listen. If you can do that for us, that would be a fantastic help to the show. It helps us both attract new listeners as well as rank higher on those directories. So appreciate you listening.

Hurricane Ian tore into western Cuba as a major hurricane, with nothing to stop it from intensifying into a catastrophic Category 4 storm before it crashes ashore in Florida, where officials ordered 2.5 million people to evacuate. Ian made landfall at 4.30am EDT Tuesday in Cuba's Pinar del Rio province, where officials set up 55 shelters, evacuated 50,000 people, rushed in emergency personnel and took steps to protect crops in the nation's main tobacco-growing region. The US National Hurricane Center said "significant wind and storm surge impacts" occurred Tuesday morning in western Cuba. Ian struck with sustained top winds of 205km/h. As much as 4.3m of storm surge was predicted along Cuba's coast.   Traffic builds along Interstate 4 in Tampa, Florida as Hurricane Ian approaches. Photo / Willie J. Allen Jr, Orlando Sentinel via AP Ian was forecast to strengthen even more over warm Gulf of Mexico waters, reaching top winds of 225km/h as it approaches Florida's southwest coast. Tropical storm-force winds were expected across the southern peninsula late Tuesday, reaching hurricane force Wednesday morning. "Right now we're focusing on west central Florida area as the main area for impact," hurricane specialist Andy Latto told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The hurricane centre expanded its storm surge warning to the peninsula's Atlantic coast, and expanded its tropical storm warning from Boca Raton to Brunswick, Georgia — a distance of about 603km.

He and his wife had stocked up on bottled water and packed torches, battery packs for their cellphones and a camp stove with a large propane burner as they got ready to evacuate. "All the prized possessions, we've put them upstairs in a friend's house and nearby, and we've got the car loaded," Gonzalez said. He added: "I think we're ready." Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said an estimated 2.5 million people were under evacuation orders. He urged people to prepare for power outages and to get out of its way. "When you have five to 10 feet of storm surge, that is not something you want to be a part of," DeSantis said Tuesday. "And Mother Nature is a very fearsome adversary." Hurricane Ian grew stronger as it barreled toward Cuba. Photo / Nasa Worldview, Earth Observing System Data and Information System via AP The hurricane centre expanded its hurricane warning to include Bonita Beach north through Tampa Bay to the Anclote River. Fort Myers is in the hurricane zone, and Tampa and St Petersburg could get their first direct hit by a major hurricane since 1921. "People on the barrier islands who decide not to go, they do so at their own peril," Roger Desjarlais, county manager of Lee County, where Fort Myers is, said early Tuesday. "The best thing they can do is leave." The county issued mandatory evacuations for low-lying areas including Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Bonita Beach, where about 250,000 people live. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, left, speaks as he stands with Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Photo / Chris O'Meara, AP As the storm's centre moved into the Gulf, scenes of destruction emerged in Cuba's world-famous tobacco belt. The owner of the premier Finca Robaina cigar producer posted photos on social media showing wood-and-thatch roofs smashed to the ground, greenhouses in rubble and wagons overturned. "It was apocalyptic, a real disaster," wrote Hirochi Robaina, grandson of the operation's founder. State media published photos showing broad floodwaters flowing through the town of San Juan y Martinez and more than 1 million Cubans were without power Tuesday morning, including all of the western provinces of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa. There were no reports of deaths. A resident uses plastic as protection from the rain in Batabano, Cuba. Photo / Ramon Espinosa, AP Ian's forward movement was expected to slow over the Gulf, enabling the hurricane to grow wider and stronger before it brings punishing wind and water to Florida's west coast. Forecasters said the surge of ocean water could reach 3m if it peaks at high tide. Rainfall could total 410mm with as much as 610mm in isolated areas. Coastal communities could be inundated. In Key West, the airport closed Tuesday as gusty rains from the storm added to a king tide to swamp the streets, prompting animal rescuers to delay venturing out until after Ian passes. In Orlando, Disney World closed four hotels as a precaution while holding off on any decision to shut down its theme parks. Busch Gardens in Tampa closed at least through Thursday. In Florida's northeastern corner, the US Navy said it planned to move ships and aircraft from its base outside Jacksonville. As Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, shopping carts are left abandoned next to empty shelves that stock bottled water at a supermarket.

The airports in Tampa and St. Petersburg announced they'll close Tuesday afternoon. President Joe Biden also declared an emergency, authorising the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief and provide assistance to protect lives and property. FEMA has strategically positioned generators, millions of meals and millions of litres of water, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. News crews, tourists and residents take images as high waves from Hurricane Ian crash into the seawall at the Southernmost Point buoy. Photo / Rob O'Neal, The Key West Citizen via AP Damaging winds and flooding are expected across the entire peninsula as Ian moves north, reaching into Georgia, South Carolina and other parts of the southeastern US between Friday and Sunday, the hurricane centre said.  — Cristina Mesquita & Curt Anderson, APSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am so so excited to have Maria Sellars on today! We actually met in May, when I completed my Reiki level 1 training! She's from Michigan, but now lives in Florida, she still does training here as well as in Florida to give back to the community she's from, which is something I just love about her so much. I wanted to have her on to share her expertise on the sacral chakra after I completed my Reiki training and learned more about the chakras and what each of them house. The sacral chakra houses your pleasure, creativity, and your sexuality. We'll be talking today about how to unblock the sacral chakra so you can embody your true feminine energy and fully feel free.Who is Maria?Maria Sellars is a dynamic healing arts practitioner who has been practicing Reiki since 2010. Over the years, she has watched energy work help people to transform their lives. Maria believes energy work is often the missing piece in people's lives that keeps them from being able to create lasting change. Her approach is inviting and accessible for all. Maria owns Heal. Pain & Stress Relief Center in Altamonte Springs, Florida.The 7 main Chakras are Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.The Sacral ChakraOur sacral chakra is our source of pleasure. If we are shut off and blocked through this chakra then we are cutting ourselves off from really being able to feel pleasure and feel joy. It is where all of our feelings lie, so if it is blocked, we're not giving ourselves permission to experience all of the great things that life has to offer. Any problems through the reproductive organs, kidneys, lower back, digestive issues, could be showing that there's an imbalance in your sacral. Just meditating with a focus on your sacral, and showing the light and love to that area could really just make such a difference with these problems. Hold your hands on your ovary space or your whole reproductive organ area where the sacral chakra lies, and say to yourself “I am sending love, I am sending light, I am sending healing energy.”.As women we're so mean to ourselves, and the more that we do that and claim that energy, the more that we become that. Don't say “I feel fat” Say you're “experiencing bloating.” it's okay to have things as an experience, but we don't want to claim them as a feeling, or something that's going to be more permanent in our bodies. “All of that shit that we talk to ourselves, keeps us from really manifesting the life that we want, because we're always telling ourselves we're what we don't want to be.”Other ways to balance your sacral chakraWear the color orangeEat foods that are the color orangeYou can carry stone, a good one for sacral is Carnelian, Tigers Eye, and Orange Calcite or CitrineTake a bath with those stones, orange flowers, use some essential oils, (Ylang ylang or Rose Oil), and make yourself feel sexyLove on yourself, the divine feminine that you areSpend time in natureJournalSay affirmations out loud, looking at yourself in the mirrorDance, move your hips, move your body The more that we can feel loving towards ourselves the more it's going to really allow us to really shine and vibrate at the high level that we're all looking for. The more we can really tap into that energy, the more we feed and fuel that, the better our lives become in so many ways.Connect with Maria!Website - With Course InformationInstagram: @OrlandoEnergyWorkerAll the Heals Facebook GroupConnect with Rachel!Instagram: @The_Rachel_MaineWebsite: https://linktr.ee/WellnessSexpertiseFacebook: Rachel MaineEmail: therachelmaine@gmail.coSupport the show

Young star for the Portland Trailblazers Anfernee Simons joins us to talk about how he went 0-100 with his tattoos. Ant always told others he wouldn't get any tattoos, so when he showed up to training camp with a full sleeve it was a huge surprise for everyone. Ant wanted to go all out.  The thought process behind the tattoos are what's important, that's what he admires in someone like Dame and his tats. When we look at his sleeve it draws from his upbringing, it starts with the “praying hands” that match his dad's tattoo to the skyline of Altamonte Springs where he grew up. Everything for Ant is about longevity and meaning. When it comes to giving the nod to others in the league with dope tattoos Ant mentions Lonzo Ball, D'Angelo Russell, DeMar DeRozan, and Jordan Clarkson.
