I am That

Since this phrase has such an ancient history, there is a lot of energy connected to it.

In Isaiah 43:10–11 He states, “Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD [YHVH], and beside me there is no savior.”

I am with Ahmad getting some vegetables and a torch, when I see one of my best friends, walking in the street.

Earlier Jehovah’s love is even clearer as the first possible reference of the gospel is declared: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Gen. 3:15). Here God reveals several significant truths. The woman’s seed (Messiah) will deliver a deathblow to the serpent’s head; but all the serpent will do is bruise, or crush, Messiah’s heel. A head blow to a serpent is fatal. Not so with a blow to the heel.

The one contradiction I felt in this book is that at a particular point this man tells us to be harmless to nature, Moses and Aaron delivered the message to Pharaoh: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.’” Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go?

A possible explanation for the composition of the name Jehovah from the Hebrew might be yehi—he will be; hovi—being; hah yah—he was. 5 Jehovah might also be understood as an acronym using parts of the same Hebrew words, making Ye-hov-ah, a name that states, “I will be (future) because I am (present) because I was (past).” In the name Jehovah the personality of the Supreme is distinctly expressed. It is everywhere a proper name denoting the person of God,and Him only…Elohim… denoting usually . . . the Supreme. The Hebrew may say the Elohim, the true God, in opposition to all false gods; but he never says the Jehovah, for Jehovah is the name of the true God only. He says again and again, my God or my Elohim, but never my Jehovah , for when he says my God he means Jehovah.

He speaks of the living God , but never of the living Jehovah , for he cannot conceive of Jehovah as other than living. 4 I introduced him to Ahmad, saying that he is one of my best friends in the whole world, and introduced Ahmad to him as “one of the people who kind enough to host us”.
