Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to 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. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

This is a Kingdom word.  Note that the government shall be upon His shoulder.  The shoulder is part of the body of Christ.  This government will increase into eternity.  It will never level out.  Hope is one thing that goes into the eternity, and no one hopes for that which they already have.
