Before Abraham was I AM!

                          Before Abraham was I AM!

Peace unto you all,

Many have been mislead by the above statement to mean that Yahoshua said he was YHWH.  I am here to tell you that this is a LIE!   Now if you've payed attention I've just used I am, does that mean I am the father?  No, it does not.   Take a look at John 8:58  Yahoshua said to them Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.  What did Yahoshua mean by what he just said?  What was he dealing with at that particular time?  The subject at hand was death?  Let's look back at John 8:48-58.  48  Then the Yehudim answered and said unto Him, Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?  49   Yahoshua answered , I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.  Now If Yahoshua is YAHWAH, who is his (YAHWAH) father?  51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he shall never see death.  52 Then the Yehudim said to Him, Now we know that you have a demon!  Abraham is dead and the prophets; and You say,  If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.  53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?  And the prophets are dead.  Who do You make Yourself out to be?  54  Yahoshua answered, If I honor myself, My honor is nothing.  It is My Father who honors Me of whom you say that He is your Elohim. 

 Now people do we really need to look any further for the truth?  Yes because some of you are caught up in a Lie and I am here to show the truth.  55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him.  And if I say, I do not know him, I shall be a liar like you; but I do know him and keep His word.  What was the word Yahoshua was speaking of?  Everything written in the Law and Prophets what you all call the "Old Testament"  Moving along   56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.  57  Then the Yehudim said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?  58 Yahoshua said to them Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.

Now after all that we went over did Yahoshua say he was Yah?  No he already made that clear in the above verses!  Now let's keep in mind this whole thing came up because of the topic Death.

Luke 20:27-40  27  Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him  28 saying: Rabbi Moshe wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.  29  Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and die without children. 30  And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.  31  Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died. 32  Last of All the Woman died also.  33  Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife does she become?  For all seven had her as wife.  34 Yahoshua answered and said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.  35  But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;  36  nor can they die anymore for they are equal to the malakym (angels) and are sons of Elohim, being sons of the resurrection.  Remember the Yehudim spoke of Abraham being dead back in John 8!    37  But even as Moshe showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called YAHWAH the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitzqaq, and the Elohim of Yaaqob.   

Ex 3:15  And Elohim Said moreover unto Moshe, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Ysrael, YAHWAH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitzqaq, and the Elohim of Yaaqob, has sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto ALL generations.  

John 8: 38  For He (YAHWAH) is not the Elohim of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.   39  Then some of the scribes answered and said Rabbi, You have spoken well.  40  But after that they dared not question Him anymore.

Why did I go through all of that?  Because the lies have to be cast out that the son is the Father as well as other lies taught in Christianity, Islam, Catholicism ,etc...  I am only here to do one thing and that is to proclaim the Good News of Yahoshua and restore truth to all those who will accept the truth of the Scriptures.  So, in closing We have just been shown from the mouth of the Messiah That He is Not YAHWAH, but the question still needs to be answered.  What did Yahoshua mean when he said before Abraham was I AM?  The answer has been in your bibles all along, He was literally saying I Am the Resurrection, Truth and the Life.  What day did Abraham rejoice to see?  The coming of the kingdom of Yah on Earth.  Abraham lives in the resurrection, as many of us will if we take off the doctrines on men and trust in YAHWAH!  See Yahoshua proclaimed the kingdom to come to the Yehudim but they could not understand what he was talking about.  They were to caught up on the fact that Yahoshua said before Abraham was I AM.  Now in case many of you don't know I Am is not a Name.  It is the definition of the Father's Divine Name YAHWAH (not the LORD).  Nothing more nothing less.  Can we argue with scripture?  You answer that for yourselves!

Shalom
