We have explained it clearly.
Jesus in his prehuman existence was a son of God just like the other angels.
(Job 1:6) Now the day came when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and Satan also entered among them.
No doubt you would agree that angels are mighty beings.
(2 Kings 19:35-37) On that very night the angel of Jehovah went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the As·syrʹi·ans.
god is a title applied to a powerful individual.
So the term "mighty God" well describes Jesus.
If Jesus were the God he would not be called "prince". He would be called King in that prophecy. Princes are sons of Kings.
His father, Jehovah God, is the King of the universe.
Jesus is our everlasting Father because it is through his ransom sacrifice that all men have a chance to live forever again.
As far as having 2 gods:
(1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
Yes, one of our saviours "was" an angel until he was sent to Earth as a perfect man by his Father, Jehovah God.
(Isaiah 43:10, 11) “You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah, “Yes, my servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and have faith in me And understand that I am the same One. Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none. 11 I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
Jehovah provided His own 1st begotten son as our ransom, to buy us out of sin and death.
There is no greater act of love for mankind than the one Jehovah and His Son, Christ Jesus, did for us!
Is that hard to understand?
