Would you be able to affirm that both the Father and the Son are of One divine essence?

Scripture does not say one divine essence. It does say this concerning the Messiah:
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, Counseller, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of peace.
I affirm the Messiah (YESHUA) is the begotten son and the Eternal Father? Do you?
The distiction is that the son was born of a woman. Therefore a human being. The Father is the Mighty God of Heaven.
Yeshua is both simultaneously. He is God and man at the same time.
