Isaiah 8:18 Context
16Binde vp the Testimonie, seale the Law among my disciples. 17And I wil wait vpon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of Iacob, and I will looke for him. 18Behold, I, and the children whom the Lord hath giuen me, are for signes, and for wonders in Israel: from the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19¶ And when they shall say vnto you; Seeke vnto them that haue familiar spirits, and vnto wizards that peepe and that mutter: should not a people seeke vnto their God? for the liuing, to the dead? 20To the Law and to the Testimonie: if they speake not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 8:18
8:18 Behold - These words are literally spoken by Isaiah concerning himself, but mystically concerning Christ; and therefore they are fitly ascribed to Christ, #Heb 2:13|. The children - His spiritual children, whom he had either begotten or brought up by his ministry. Wonders - Are a gazing flock, for our folly in believing God's promises. From the Lord - Which comes to pass by the wise providence of God. Zion - Where the temple now was, and where the Messiah was to set up his kingdom.
