Thank all of you for the posts here! It is difficult to comprehend, as if you feel you know somewhat of Him, but as Paul said – only in part.
In the verse below, Jesus applies “I Am” to Himself
JN 8:54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
A few days ago I was turning the channels on the television, and a satellite image caught my eye. I turned it back, although I do not remember what channel. Incredibly there was the name of the Lord inscribed in Hebrew plain as day upon the topography of Israel, it said the locations where the Name started and ended, which I can not recall - the house was loud and distracting.
The verses below in English contain that Hebrew word – The LORD, interesting is God says “the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” What a great wonder His Name to be actually written upon the area He promised to Abraham!
EX 3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: `I AM has sent me to you.' "15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, `The LORD, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
