Very nice, ty. Illuminates the point of

"Understand I AM"

quite well, to me. One might translate "I will be that I will be" quite easily into "My will determines My reality," which we'll just keep in God's pov here, and the Sep "I am here, now." I'm curious how making the "AM" emphatic might change your translations...ty again.

Re: Understand I AM

What is "outside His own self" here?

Well, I would argue that that would be written,

"Understand I am," (not conforming to death) or even
"Understand I Am," a title. Why is "am" emphatic here?

If it was written

it was spoken before it was written.

Not everything spoken has been written.

Everything written has been spoken.

And there is yet that that will be spoken.

Is all that shall ever be written

already written?

Can you answer this?

According to the words written which we now have, yes. But God is God, and HE can change things up at any time, and GOD himself has been known to repent, and change his ways, and thoughts.... so you DO NOT know the answer to this question, unless you are claiming to be something that you are not...

you DO NOT know if I know the answer to this question, unless you are claiming to be something that you are not.
