Isaiah 8:18

I and the children—Isaiah means "salvation of Jehovah"; His children's names, also (Isaiah 7:3, Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 8:3), were "signs" suggestive of the coming and final deliverance.

wonders—that is, symbols of the future (Isaiah 20:3; Zechariah 3:8). "Behold I . . . me" is quoted in Hebrews 2:13 to prove the manhood of the Messiah. This is the main and ultimate fulfilment of the prophecy; its temporary meaning is applied to Ahaz' time. Isaiah typically, in Isaiah 8:17-18, personates Messiah, who is at once "Father" and "Son," Isaiah and Immanuel, "Child" and "Mighty God," and is therefore called here a "wonder," as in Isaiah 9:6, "Wonderful." Hence in Hebrews 2:13, believers are called His "children"; but in Isaiah 8:11-12, His "brethren." On "the Lord hath given me," see John 6:37, John 6:39; John 10:29; John 17:12.

which dwelleth in . . . Zion—and will therefore protect Jerusalem.
