the Name God called Himself more than 6000 times in the Old Testament. It appears in every book but Esther, Ecclessastes, and the Song of Solomons. This Name is His Name Most closely linked to the Redeeming acts of God throughout the history of His chosen people. The origin story of this name for God goes back, to when God is speaking to Moses through the burning bush given him the missoon to free the children of Israel from Egypt captivity. Moses is concerned how he will convey to these people that God really is sending him on this mission and he is blessed by God. IAnd God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations. (Exodus 3:14-15)His Wonderous Name means He is thebSelf-exisotong One - the I AM Who brings eceruthing into being. The Unchanging Preexistent LORD - I AM Who set All things in place and by Whom All things Consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)This Name reminds you that you are living in the Presence of the Great I AM. Who is the Unfailing God of Love, Joy, Peace, Mercy, Grace, and Justice; Who Accomplishes the impossible on Behalf of His Children. I AM - Yahweh Name is His Name Most closely linked to the Redeeming acts of God throughout the history of His chosen people. the Name Yahweh assures you that He will Never Leave you nor Abandon you. (Joshua 1:9, Hebrew13:5)I Pray You Know the Saving Power of God’s Covenant Name Personally in Your Life.This Covenant Name reminds you that you are living in the Presence of the Great I AM. The sacredness of God’s name represents all that He is, and so we are instructed to honor His name and not use it in a profane way.The Name by which God chose to be remembered throughout all generations is Yahweh. In Genesis 3:14 God uses I AM and Yahweh interchangeably, which tells us that I AM is one way for us to translate the name Yahweh.The Reason His Name I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE is so significant, because it reflects His Character and Attributes. For Example, Abraham Means "Father of a Great Multitude." Eve Means "Living" Which Is Feeding Because She Is the Mother of All Living People.Jesus Names Savior.What Moses was doing is Asking God to Provide Some Credibility, to the Fantastic Story He Is about to Tell His People. He Is Asking God about His Character in Nature.God wanted to assure Moses and Israel that God would become what they would need Him to become. In using the words “I AM THAT I AM,” God used an expression to reveal to Moses a promise and pledge found in His name. The Hebrew words in Exodus 3:14 for “I AM THAT I AM” are ehyeh asher ehyeh which is more accurately be translated “I will be what I will be” or as Rotherham translates it, “I will become whatsoever I may become.” You see the relationship of this phrase to Yahweh – “He who becometh.” They both use the word “become.” The use of ehyeh asher ehyeh in Exodus 3:14 was God’s way of assuring and pledging to Moses and Israel that God would become whatever they needed Him to become. Remember the context of the passage in Exodus. The Israelites were crying day and night for deliverance. God was calling Moses to help lead the Israelites out of Egypt bondage. Moses asked God – what is God’s name or what should he say to the Israelites? In God’s response, He provides a promise to Israel – He would become what they would need Him to become – in this case – their deliverer. This promise found in the name of God can be extended to the world of mankind....
