YAH, JEHOVAH, LORD, I AM, JESUS!

THE NAME OF GOD!

Exodus 3:13-15 - And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? What shall I say unto them?  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT* I AM:  and He said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you.  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you:  this is My name forever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.

*Notes:  The Hebrew text has hayah hayah or I AM I AM.  The word "THAT" has been added by the English translators.  Notice His next statement makes His name clear:  "I AM!" 
               It is also quite interesting that hayah is the Hebrew root for the word "Jehovah," which means "the existing One," and is translated in the Old Testament as "Jehovah" only 4 times, while it is translated as "LORD" 6510 times!  Could there be a relationship to Jesus Christ being addressed as "Lord, Lord" in Matthew 7:21-22; 25:11; Luke 6:46; 13:25?  I say YES!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE I AM!

John 4:25-26 - The woman said unto Him, I know that Messiah is coming, Who is called Christ: when He is come, He will tell us all things.  Jesus said unto her, I, Who speak unto you, AM he.*
[*Note:  "he" is not in the Greek texts.]

John 8:24, 28 - I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins:  for if you believe not that I AM he,* you shall die in your sins. . . . Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I AM he,* and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.  [*Note:  "he" is not in the Greek texts.]

John 8:56-59 - Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day:  and he saw it, and was glad.  Then said the Jews unto Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.  Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

John 18:3-8 - Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom do you seek?  They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth.  Jesus said unto them, I AM he.*  And Judas also, which betrayed Him, stood with them.  As soon then as He had said unto them, I AM he,* they went backward, and fell to the ground.  Then He asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.  Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM he:* if therefore you seek Me, let these go their way.  [*Note:  "he" is not in the Greek texts.]

YES, JESUS IS GOD!

Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

John 1:1, 3, 14 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. . . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Colossians 1:15-17 - Who (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God . . . . For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:  and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

Hebrews 1:1-3 - God, who at sundry (various) times and in divers manners (different ways) spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He has appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

JESUS, THE LORD, IS GOD;

SAVING IS WHAT HE DOES!
