He exaggerates the mistranslation. on 1:00 he says all those verbs are in the past tense.
However, classical hebrew does not have a past tense.
See: Blueletterbible

The Christians falsely claim that Isaiah 9:5 (Jewish verse numbering) is a prophesy but the point is that the classical Hebrew does not support a future tense. Thus, when translated into English, which does have tenses, an honest translation has to be rendered accordingly.

To honestly translate it as future it is sufficient that you believe it refers to a future messias. That does not necessarily be the Christian one.

For those who place honesty as an important pillar of any moral religion, they may wish to consider the information on the following webpage, that is instead of interpreting Jewish Scripture to suit their own different faith while disrespecting Judaism:

No, because that is not what the author is saying (https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/art...saiah-95-6). 

Where it says: "Hezekiah is called [...]", as the article explains earlier, this is refers to 

[Isaiah] expound[ing] his message by formulating a prophetic name for Hezekiah [where] the words of this name form a sentence expressive of God's greatness, which will become manifest in the benefits to be bestowed upon the future king in his lifetime [...]

Thus: 

Hezekiah is called "the mighty God" because this name is a sign that foretells God's defense of Jerusalem through the miraculous sudden mass death of Sennacherib's army.

There is thus no conflict with the literal meaning of the king's name, Hezekiah, which means "G-d is my strength".
