The angel of the Lord performs wonders that demonstrate God's power and glory in the lives of His people.
The phrase 'the angel did wondrously' in Judges 13:19 refers to the miraculous acts performed by the angel of the Lord, signifying God's intervening power and presence. In the context of Manoah and his wife's experience, this includes the angel’s ascension in the flame after receiving their offering, which serves as a confirmation of God's acceptance and presence. Throughout Scripture, the wonders of God, whether in creation, deliverance from enemies, or acts of salvation, point to His sovereignty and faithfulness. The angel's wondrous deeds foretell the ultimate wonder of Jesus Christ’s redemptive work, wherein He manifests God's grace, bringing salvation to His people through His sacrifice and resurrection. This reflects the continuity of God’s wondrous deeds from the Old Testament into the New Testament.
