Exodus 3:14 You need to read this text it will shed a lot of light for you. This was Jesus basically saying "Hey guys,I am God." "The guy who sent Moses......that was me." So you can see why this drove the jews absolutly nuts ... they considered it blasphemy..... However Jesus made similar statement regarding His diety.... this one just came at the right time and to the right people | ||||||
2 | What is important about "I am"? | John 8:58 | gmsmith101 | 5056 | ||
Yes. I AM was/is Israel's covenant name for God, Yahweh. God told Moses, "I AM that I AM," or Yahweh. Whenever the Jews wrote the name or (didn't) say the name, the name they used was "I AM that I AM." For Jesus to use this phrase to identify Himself was a clear statement of who He was/is. To a Jew, this was the worst blasphemy. | ||||||
