Summary
When Moses asks God for a name, he is given, "I AM WHO I AM." It is a name that is frustratingly mysterious. God declares all being, all power. God isn't boxed in with any human descriptions. Instead, God identifies with past actions to Israel's ancestors, current actions in the burning bush, and by describing future actions as things that have already happened. God is above and beyond time, space, and dimension. We serve a God who wants to be known and helps us to know them better.
