Prophecies of Messiah – Exodus 3:13-14: I AM

Exo 3:13 And Moses said to God, Behold, I shall come to the sons of Israel and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them?
Exo 3:14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM; and He said, You shall say this to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

When YHWH God spoke to Moses in preparation to deliver the children of Israel, He revealed Himself as “I AM”. Scripture declares that Jesus of Nazareth is I AM, as He was sent to deliver Israel from their bondage to sin.

Isa 43:25 I, even I, am He who blots out your trespasses for My sake; and I will not remember your sins.

Joh 8:24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.

Joh 8:28 Then Jesus said to them, When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM; and from Myself I do nothing; but as My Father taught Me, these things I speak.

Messiah on the cross reveals He is “I AM”.

Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham leaped for joy that he should see My day, and he saw, and rejoiced.
Joh 8:57 Then the Jews said to Him, You do not yet have fifty years, and have You seen Abraham?
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came to be, I AM!

Joh 13:18 I do not speak concerning all of you; I know whom I chose out; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “The one eating the bread with Me lifted up his heel against Me.” Psa. 41:9
Joh 13:19 From this time I tell you before it happens, that when it happens you may believe that I AM.

Joh 18:7 Then again He asked, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
Joh 18:8 Jesus answered, I told you that I AM; then if you seek Me, allow these to depart,
Joh 18:9 (that the Word might be fulfilled which He said, “Of those whom You gave to Me, I lost not one of them).”
Mar 14:61 But He was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned Him, and said to Him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM! And you will see the Son of Man sitting off the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven. Psa. 110:1; Dan. 7:13

The phrase ἐγώ εἰμι (ego eimi) in Greek & אהיה אשׁר אהיה (ehyeh asher ehyeh) in Hebrew = אנא אנא (ene na) in Aramaic.

Aramaic English Interlinear New Testament – David Bauscher pg 255 commentary on John 8:24

אנא אנא (ene na) here stands by itself: Our Lord said that thow who do not believe ‘Ena Na’ shal die in their sins. This is not a reference to faith in the existence of Jesus (‘I exist’), which the Pharisees were quite well aware of, but rather a reference to faith in the Deity of Jesus (‘I AM the Living God’)…Thirty two times it (Peshitta) refers to Yeshua Meshikha as Maryah (The Lord Jehovah) and 25 times as ‘Ena na’ (‘I AM the Living God’).

Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

Why does Messiah Jesus say that we must believe that He is the ‘I AM’ or we can’t be saved? It is because man can’t save us from our sins
Psa 49:7 A man cannot at all redeem a brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,
Psa 49:8 for the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever,
Psa 49:9 for he shall yet live forever; he shall never see corruption.

Man can’t save us
Deu 24:16 The fathers shall not die for sons, and sons shall not die for fathers; they each shall die for his own sin.
Eze 14:14 And though these three men were in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job, by their righteousness they should deliver only their souls, declares the Lord YHWH.
Eze 14:20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live, declares the Lord YHWH, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they by their righteousness would deliver only their souls.

However, mankind must be saved by a kinsman redeemer (Leviticus 25:25, 47-55

Heb 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, because of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to perfect Him as the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
Heb 2:11 For both the One sanctifying and the ones being sanctified are all of one; for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Heb 2:12 saying, “I will announce Your name to My brothers; I will hymn to You in the midst of the assembly.” Psa. 22:22
Heb 2:13 And again, “I will be trusting on Him.” Isa. 8:17 And again, “Behold, I and the children whom God gave to Me.” Isa. 8:18
Heb 2:14 Since, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, in like manner He Himself also shared the same things, that through death He might cause to cease the one having the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 and might set these free, as many as by fear of death were subject to slavery through all the lifetime to live.
Heb 2:16 For indeed He does not take hold of angels, “but He takes hold of” “the seed of Abraham.” Isa. 41:8, 9

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Only YHWH is our Savior

Isa 43:11 I, I am YHWH; and there is no Savior besides Me.
Hos 13:4 Yet I am YHWH, your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall know no other gods than Me. For there is no Savior besides Me.
Luk 1:46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Luk 1:47 and my spirit exulted in God My Savior.
Psa 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help (teshuah).
Psa 60:11 Give us help against our oppressor, for vain is the deliverance (teshuah) of man.

Hos 1:7 And I will have mercy on the house of Judah and will save them by YHWH their God. And I will not save them by bow or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.

However it is clear that Jesus is described as our Savior…Jesus is YHWH.

Act 4:11 This One is the Stone counted worthless by you the builders, the One who has come to be into the Head of the Corner; Psa. 118:22
Act 4:12 and there is salvation in no other One, for neither is there any other name under Heaven having been given among men by which we must be saved.
Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
Tit 3:5 not by works in righteousness which we had done, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Tit 3:6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Savior;
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
1Jn 4:14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
