"Wherefore askest thou after my name seeing it is, Wonderful!"  (Judges 13:18).  "The noun form of this word is rendered `Wonderful' in  Isaiah 9:6 as a prophecy of the Messiah."[16]  It seems to us that the Angel of Jehovah in this chapter went a long way toward revealing his identity as, "God's pre-incarnate Son."[17]  In these six verses, "the Angel of Jehovah" is mentioned in every verse except  Judges 13:19, and it is supplied even there.
