Counsellor
COUNSELLOR.This is the spelling in modern editions of the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . In the ed. of 1611 it is counseller, except in Ezr 8:25, Pro 12:20; Pro 15:22, where the spelling is counsellour. The word is used mostly of a kings counsellor, or more generally of one who gives counsel. But in Dan 3:2-3 it means a justice; and in Mar 15:43, Luk 23:50, it is used of Joseph of Arimatha as a member of the Sanhedrin. In Dan 3:24; Dan 3:27; Dan 4:36; Dan 6:7 the peculiar word rendered counsellor in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is hesitatingly translated by Driver minister; RV [Note: Revised Version.] retains counsellor.

Counsellor
One of the well known names of Christ, and most blessedly answering to his office, work and character in the hearts of his people. (See two beautiful proofs among a thousand. Isa 9:6; Isa 48:16-17) This name at once sets forth the infinite dignity of his person, and the infinite suitableness of his salvation; “for in him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Col 2:3) In conjunction with the Father and the Holy Ghost, he was in the council of peace before all worlds, when the whole scheme of redemption was formed, and when it was determined upon, to be brought forth in time, and in its blessings to reach to all eternity. Wonderful Counsellor! give thy people grace to listen to thy gracious and divine teaching, “and to buy of thee gold tried in the fire.” (Rev 3:18)
