Isaiah 9:6

Connection with Genesis 18:14
In Hebrew, "Wonderful" is pele (H6382), a wonder. The angel in Judges 13:18 used peli (H6383), wonderful, for his own name. Isaiah announced a child who would carry that word as a name, the same idea of wonder God used when He asked Abraham whether anything was too difficult for Him (Genesis 18:14).
