Isaiah 9:6 is about King Hezekiah. it is definately not about Jesus, because it goes on to say:
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
Jesus has not led any government, & he has not reigned on Davids throne, or over any kingdom, nor has he bought any peace. If you are going to say that he will do that in the future, then you cannot say that the prophecy is about Jesus, UNTIL he fulfills it. If he never fulfills the prophecy, it is obviously not about him.
The whole of isaiah is difficult to understand & interpret for me, so I will defer to the experts for the explanation of the prophecy:

Psalms 2:7 is referring to the nation of Israel, not Jesus. The nation of Israel is often referred to as gods son, as can be shown in the following passage:
“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols” (vv. 1–2).
-
Hosea 11:1–7
I have heard some Christians quote part of the above passage, saying that it is prophecy about Jesus, however they conveniently only quote the 1st half of the passage, & ignore the bit about sacrificing to the Baals.
The nation of Israel is also often referred to as gods servant, or suffering servant in the O.T.
“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28)
“Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.“ (Matthew 24: 25-34)
“Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven. Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place…“ (Mark 13:26-30)
“Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. Then He told them a parable: Behold the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.“ (Luke 21:27-32)
None of the above has taken place. Jesus did not say that these things would happen far off in the future. He tells his disciples that
"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place."
You tell me what it means to you? Certainly nothing about Jesus that I can see.
Who does god talk to in the book of Job? It tells you that the Angels & Satan were there. No mention of Jesus is made. Does god have a converstion with the angels & Satan in the book of Job? So who do you think God might be talking to in Genesis 11:7? Does God often communicate with Angels in the O.T. to fulfill tasks for him?
Paul appeared to know almost nothing about Jesus life, he certainly makes no mention of Jesus life, or even anything that Jesus said.
Given the no. of passages in the old testament, you can take just about any person in history & find phrases in it that appear to fit their life. The fact that you can cherry pick certain phrases from the Old Testament, & make them appear to fit Jesus life, is totally unremarkable & proves nothing. Most of the passages that are claimed as prophecy of Jesus, only fit if they are taken out of context.
The question also has to be asked, did Jesus life actually fit prophecies in the old testament, or was jesus life CONSTRUCTED by the gospel writers to FIT prophecies in the old testament?
