”And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.“
Judges 13:18-20 KJV
The Angel of Yahweh replied, “Why ask for my name? It is ‘Wonderfully Hidden!’” So Manoah got the young goat and his grain offering and took them to the rock to offer them up for Yahweh, the wonder-working God. While Manoah and his wife watched, flames burst from the rock and ascended upward to heaven from the altar. The Angel of Yahweh, wrapped in the flames of fire, ascended into the sky. Dazed Manoah and his wife fell facedown to the ground in worship. The Angel of Yahweh was God in human form and means “wonderful” or “beyond understanding”. The burnt offering signified Jesus’s sacrifice on the Cross and the grain offering, Jesus’s resurrection and ascension into heaven. May we all be in awe of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and His resurrection and ascension, and bow down and worship Him Who is worthy of all praise. Hallelujah!
