“It is important to look at the Hebrew Scriptures through the eyes of those who came before us, especially during the 1st and 2nd centuries. Targum Yonatan to Isaiah 9:5-6 adds an important comment in the Aramaic, translated: “And his name was from the beginning.” Then in note 243 he writes “The Aramaic literally reads ואתקרי שמיה מן קדם “his name is from the beginning”.
“This is identified as King Messiah, as the word Aviad (everlasting father) was changed in the Targum to be called “The Messiah”.”
“The Aramaic term literally reads עלמיא משיחא.”
