I AM - For those Christians and believers from other paths who think of the Lord Jesus Christ as just a great man who never really claimed to be God need to confront His amazing statement to the scribes and Pharisees there in Jerusalem when they were berating Him in the temple. “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day,” He said. Then, when they questioned that assertion, He went on to insist that “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:56,58). Jesus clearly set the record strait at the beginning of his ministry that the great I AM Presence was in him. The great I AM was in their mist and they didn't even know it.
I AM THAT I AM - He was actually claiming to be the God to whom Moses spoke at the burning bush, when he asked God what His name was. God had answered that His name was “I AM THAT I AM” (Exodus 3:14)—that is, He is the God who is eternally self-existent, transcendent to time as well as to space and matter. And that was who Jesus was claiming to be! Glory to the great I AM!
Yahweh is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible. This form is a modern scholarly convention: Hebrew scripts write it as four consonants, rendered in Roman letters as YHWH, due to the fact that most alphabets, prior the Greek Alphabet, did not display vowels, and required that vowels be mentally pronounced in the proper places. The most likely meaning of the name may be “He Brings Into Existence Whatever Exists," but there are many theories and none is regarded as conclusive by scholars.
The Bible describes Yahweh as the one true God who delivered Israel from Egypt and gave the Ten Commandments: "Then God spoke all these words. He said, ‘I AM Yahweh your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you lived as slaves. You shall have no other gods to rival me'". Yahweh revealed himself to Israel as a jealous God who would not permit his people to make idols or follow gods of other nations or worship gods known by other names, "I AM Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, or my praise to idols". Yahweh demanded the role of the one true God in the hearts and minds of Israel, "Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one: and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might".
With all the new age religions and various paths that are on the planet now there is major confusion among people trying to find the true source or original address of all life. I confess with my heart and soul that there is only one true living God and we were made out of the image of this one God. The one and only true Gods name is the great I AM, I AM THAT I AM,Yahweh. In the Bible the great I AM THAT I AM was identified by the great ones as other names as well. Lets review some of these other names of God that manifested themselves off the great original name of the great I AM Presence:
