Who God Is (from The Air of Heaven)

God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites; 'I AM' has sent me to you.'" ‒ Exo 3:14

This is one of those statements that some today just do not comprehend. God is not bragging here. No, this is a statement of fact, a "wake up and smell the coffee" moment. He is saying to Moses ‒ and by extension the Israelites and anyone who has ever earnestly sought to discover Who He is ‒ that He is not some insignificant quasi-would-be-god to be taken lightly; but rather, the Absolute Ultimate Supreme God of all time over everything and everyone forever. He is saying:

"This is ME talking here. So, pay attention and do not take My words lightly. Tell the people that you are speaking for Me and that they had better pay attention, too, because I absolutely will know and I most certainly will hold them accountable!"

This is who the God of the Bible actually is. I know He's been portrayed as this lovingly impotent, patient-to-a-fault, wimpy, ineffectual god; but that is not Who He is nor is it Who He ever was. No, the God of the Bible is the flood bringing, hailstone slinging, language changing, nation destroying, frighteningly holy do-not-disrespect-Me-or-else, Magnificently Supreme God above all other gods. He is the God that everyone ‒ regardless of what they do or do not believe ‒ will answer to. He is also the God that no one ‒ regardless of how superior they see themselves as being ‒ ever has or ever will get the best of. He cannot be beat. He cannot be thwarted. He cannot be governed ‒ not in the past, not now, not ever. He is now, He has always been, and He will always be absolutely and completely in control, because He is absolutely and completely Supreme over all that is.
