What does the angel’s nonverbal ascent confirm?

Judges 13:20 (ESV)

20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the LORD went up in the flame of the altar. Now Manoah and his wife were watching, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

The angel’s nonverbal ascent in flame confirms his verbal assertion in Judges 13:18 that he is “wonderful.”
