Chuck Missler agrees. He says that Father in eternity (in the new Jerusalem when God and Lamb sit on the throne) is a better translation.]

So by this definition then, the scripture reads as follows:
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 Father in eternity, The Prince of Peace.
This statement would prove my point. Jesus Christ is the Father in eternity. It is the Father that manifested himself in the flesh of Jesus Christ. (See 1 Tim 3:16)
