Shalom Shalom!

It's about Zeal
There exists in the Heart of God a certain kind of zeal, a certain kind of passion, a deep complete love, an ultimate, compassionate desire. God Almighty, our Father has such passion for you that He executed His Perfect Plan.
The plan - Grace!
Jesus!
Shalom Shalom!
What am I saying?
Let's read. I'll explain on the Hebrew [in brackets].
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden,
and the staff of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
as in the day of Midian [root word - strife, contention].
and the staff of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
as in the day of Midian [root word - strife, contention].
For every battle of the warrior [talking about the enemy] is with confused noise,
and garments rolled in blood;
but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. [every self-devised effort, plan and hard-toiled-for plan, work, strive, effort will be in-vain ... because His Gift is unearned]

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government [misrah: from the word "sarah" - rule, authority, power, dominion] shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful [pele - wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary],
Counsellor [ya'ats - purpose, means, executed plan],
The mighty God [Él Gibbor - strong, powerful, brave],
The everlasting Father [Ad Ab - perpetual, forever, continuing],
The Prince of Peace [Sar Shalom שׁלם - ruler, leader of peace - completeness, soundness, welfare, safety, health ... friendship!].

Of the increase of his government and peace [שׁלם] there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal [qinah - absolute zeal, compassion] of the LORD [YHVH] of hosts will perform this. Isa 9:4-7

This is so intense!
The word Shalom here is used in the repetitive form in the original Hebrew.
What does this mean?
In Hebrew the intensive form (extreme form) of a word is obtained through repetition. You can not say very pretty or prettiest in Hebrew.
To obtain the intensive form you have to repeat the word. In other words, pretty-pretty would be the most intensive form of the word pretty.
A good example of this is the word Abba Abba, (absolute loving Father God) Whose heart's desire for you is His Free Gift - Shalom - completeness, soundness, welfare, safety, health ... friendship - intimacy - Jesus!
Who is your absolute Peace?
Shalom Shalom - Jesus!
My greetings to you ...
