From the third chapter of the book of Exodus, Gideon Levytam points to the eighth prophecy found in the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the coming of the Messiah. The Messiah - הַמָּשִׁיחַ, would be more than just another man, He was the "I AM that I AM" or more correctly, the "I Will Be that which I Will Be" (אֶֽהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽהְיֶה). God revealed Himself to Moses in the wilderness, appearing to Moses in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a burning bush which was not consumed by the fire. Speaking from the midst of the fire in the bush, the LORD conveyed to Moses that no fire would be able to consume His people Israel, who He was going to redeem. The self existing LORD, said to Israel that He was the "I AM that I AM”, the "I Will Be that which I Will Be"- (אֶֽהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽהְיֶה), promising to be the redeemer who would deliver from bondage those who trust in Him. Many years later, after Israel’s redemption from Egypt, Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah was born to the virgin Miriam for the purpose of becoming the "I AM", the Redeemer, saying, before Abraham was, "I AM", John 8:58, and thus fulfilling the prophecy.
