The Son's Name (Isa. 9:6) > "Wonderful" (Part 1)

HOW WAS THE WORD “WONDERFUL” USED IN HEBREW?

• Our English word "wonderful" cheapens the intent of the Hebrew. 
• "Wonderful" has become a common word, so common that what we say is "wonderful" really isn't.
• What we really mean is, "Oh, that's nice."
• "Wonderful" is so much more than that!
• The root word (pele) means “to separate”, “to distinguish”, “to surpass.”
• It is used in connection with God's wonders (Psa. 78:12).
• It carries the idea of something extraordinary, amazing, difficult to understand (Judg. 13:6-21).
•  Notice the title “Angel of the Lord.”
• This is what we call a Christophany.
• It is a limited appearance of Christ in the Old Testament.
• The Angel of the Lord said His name was “Wonderful” - separate, distinguished, surpassing, extraordinary, and amazing.  (Incomprehensible?)
• In the Gospels, who do we know that went around constantly amazing people by supernatural    words and works?
• That's right – His name is Jesus!
• Jesus is “Wonderful!”
• He fits the full description of the word "wonderful."
