ETERNAL SON?

 ISAIAH 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name SHALL BE CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Romans 4:4 And DECLARED TO BE THE SON OF GOD with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

MATTHEW 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and THEY SHALL call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

LUKE 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS.
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which SHALL BE BORN of thee SHALL BE CALLED the Son of God.

     Nowhere does the bible call Jesus, 'THE ETERNAL SON'. Genesis does not say that the Father created the Heavens and the Earth through the Son that was with Him and WAS Him. It is God Himself that was speaking when GOD SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT". It was prophesied many times that a CHILD would be born; that is that He would be BEGOTTEN in the flesh as the KJV states. (The modern bible versions remove the word BEGOTTEN). The one that WOULD BE BORN according to ISAIAH would be called, 'Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.' Clearly denoting Him to be God Almighty, the God of Israel, Immanuel (God With Us), Jehovah, Yahweh, Creator of the Universe in FLESH. 
     Jesus is NOT ANOTHER PERSON of the GODHEAD that came down to earth but the SAME God of Israel. As John says in Chapter 1 of his gospel, "He came unto His own." Jesus IS ETERNAL but JESUS is God's Name. 
As the prophet Micah proclaimed in Chapter 2 verse
2 But thou, Beth–lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been FROM OF OLD, from EVERLASTING. 
This CLEARLY denotes that the one that would be born in the flesh is the  EVERLASTING GOD. This is the SAME one that ISAIAH said would be born and called, "EVERLASTING FATHER.
This is the name Jesus commanded us to baptize each other with in MATTHEW 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them IN THE NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: THAT NAME IS JESUS because as it says in
ACTS 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
THERE IS ONLY ONE NAME FOR GOD ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, "JESUS". 
ZECHARIAH 14:9 
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be ONE LORD, and HIS NAME ONE. 
Paul was extremely clear about the  'MYSTERY OF GODLINESS' in his letter to Timothy when he wrote;
1 TIMOTHY 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH....
This was the VERY GOD OF ISRAEL that became flesh. Also the writer of Hebrews makes it abundantly clear who Jesus is;
HEBREWS 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his PERSON (SINGLE PERSON; Hebrews clearly says that God is ONE PERSON). AND there is only ONE name of God; JESUS.

CONCLUSION:
     Is Jesus ETERNAL? YES. The bible CLEARLY identifies JESUS as the ETERNAL ONE. Is He the FATHER as ISAIAH proclaims? Yes. He answered this VERY question to Phillip in John 14 in point blank fashion when He said in JOHN 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
 Is Jesus the GREAT I AM. Yes. He clearly states that He IS the I AM in JOHN 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 
PSALM 2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; THIS DAY have I begotten thee.  
This prophesy CLEARLY states that the beginning of the flesh body that God created as His Earth Clothes could be pinpointed meaning that the Son of God had a beginning on Earth. But this very flesh we call the Son of God is the VERY ETERNAL GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. As He calls HIMSELF in 
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.
