been fulfilled? Was Jesus the seed of Abraham? The promise and

inheritance applies to the seed—a human descendent—of Abraham. So is

Jesus returning to claim the inheritance and promise? Of course not! God

would not extend an inheritance to Himself, for Jesus was Divine. This

inheritance or rather Divine Will has parameters that must be completed,

and will apply to the whole world.

If Jesus were to receive the inheritance, He could have accepted Satan’s

offer in the desert; He could have answered, “yes,” when tempted and

forgone the crucifixion, but His kingdom is not of this world. The covenant

or inheritance is for man, according to a Divine Will.

The words “I Am, who Am or I Am, that I Am” in a spiritual sense, refer

to the speaker or do they pertain to the originator only? To whom was Jesus

referring when He used the words “I AM”? Jesus knew who He was and

would be. Jesus was saying that He

i s

the God of Abraham, the God of

Isaac, and the God of Jacob, not the seed of Abraham as they suspected.

Physically manifested as the Son of God then, and the Father now! Can

anyone actually rationalize that Jesus is of the seed of a mortal man or the

seed [essence] of God?

Time was given to delineate a difference between the Father and son in two

contexts. Jesus was/is clearly the great “I Am”; God revealed this concept

to Moses. These words were a mystery, but they need not be a mystery;

those who do not lack wisdom in the moment should be able to

understand. Think about what Jesus meant when He said, “Now about the

dead rising

have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the

bush, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,

and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

(Mark 12:26-27)

And, we were reminded when Jesus said,

For there is nothing

hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be

known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you

listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what

he thinks he has will be taken from him.”

(Luke 8: 17-18)

The realities of those words are astoundingly accurate and absolute in this

time as well. The mystery is now revealed, because whenever the Spirit of

God speaks through the counselor [a person], the use of the words “I Am,

Who I Am” denotes a source, and this is what God revealed to Moses and

as Jesus spoke in perfect context. The fact that I Am spiritual or you are

spiritual gives recognition of the Spirit of God as the source within a
