To Christians today, Jesus is indeed the great "I AM".
Look at Dan 7:9 and Reve
Daniel 7:
9 “I watched till thrones were put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool. [Revelation 1:14]
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
13 Perceiving I was in visions of the night and behold! With clouds of the heavens as son of a mortal/man/0606 'enash arriving He was,
and unto ancient of the days He reached, and before HIM they bring near Him
John 17:11
And not still I-am in the world, and these in the world are,
and I near/toward/proV <4314> Thee am coming........
Reve 12:5
.......and was caught-away the Child of her near/toward/proV <4314> the GOD and His throne.
Reve 1:14
His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; [Daniel 7:9]
