"...I Am Who I Am"
Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” Exodus 3:13.
And God said to Moses, I Am Who I Am and What I Am, and I Will Be What I Will Be; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I Am has sent me to you! Exodus 3:14
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.."
And Elohim said unto Moshe, Eh-heh-yeh ashair Ehheh- yeh (I AM WHO I AM); and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the Bnei Yisroel, EHHEH-YEH (I AM) hath sent me unto you.
Exodus 3:14 is one of the greatest challenges to interpretation in the Bible. We find a Divine name for All Mighty God here. We see four words ehyeh asher ehyeh in the first part of Exodus 3:14 and ehyeh in the second part.
There has been no consensus on the meaning of this verse for at least 2,300 years because the meaning of just four words therein has defied all efforts at being convincingly explained.
God speaks words that to Moses and the Children of Israel, these words conveyed a meaning so clear and so potent as to have inspired them to undertake the legendary acts of courage and faith recounted in the Book of Exodus.
The words of Exodus 3:14 were both highly meaningful and readily comprehensible to those who first heard them.
The words indicate the way in which God should be known by name, there is every reason to believe that they would be just as meaningful for us today if only we understood them...
There is a connotation of absolute existence in the Septuagint version of this verse.
Moses is asking All Mighty God how it is that God should be known by name. God's self-designation.
We know there is a Divine name in Exodus 3:14, that this name is the Personal name of God, that it is the Hebrew word Ehyeh and that Ehyeh should be translated into English as I AM.
I AM articulates the perfect knowledge that God has of His existence.
The words Ehyeh asher Ehyeh are God's Self-identification to Moses they are not a name. They translate literally as "I AM asher I AM"
This is the greatest ever instance of Divine revelation to humanity at that point. Until Jesus Christ appears on earth.
What we do know is that:
Jesus Christ is the self existent one who becomes what you need. He is the all becoming one, He is God.
What we do know about the context of the conversation between Moses and the Master Creator is that he is sending Moses to set His people free.
Do you have needs? Are you trapped today?
2 Corinthians 1:10
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us...
Velcro to Jesus Christ. Cling to Him, rely upon Him, trust in Him.
That term in Exodus 3 is also the exact term used by The Lord Jesus Christ in describing Himself in John 8:58
He will deliver you!
Jesus was telling us that it was and is HE HIMSELF that was the one that lead the people out of Egypt.
Read what Paul says in 1 Cor. 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
It was and is Christ that is The I AM of The Bible.
In John 8:58 Jesus does apply the meaning of this Name to Himself when He says, "Before Abraham came into existence, I am", thus clearly identifying Himself as God.
"I The All Becoming One Become What You Need"

"...And The Word Was God"
The Living Word, when heard with faith, will reveal the Lord to the listener, like Jesus said of the Scriptures, "They testify of Me."
Let the Holy Spirit reveal the Word of God to your own heart by revelation from God Almighty. Not your own brains wisdom or probing but by the Holy Spirits illumination through revelation. How many times do we try by the merits of our own intellect to figure out and understand the Word of God?
1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
The Word of God comes from above not below.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above...
That which is from below can not reveal that which is from above. It is only revealed from above by revelation of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 2:26
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost...
1 Peter 1:12
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
What things? Those things that are being revealed by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, those things that minister to us from God's Word.
God is His Word. Let the Holy Spirit reveal this to you by revelation not by your intellect or thought processes or deduction but by the Holy Spirit.
"...and the Word was God."
Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ is God. He is found in His inseparable Word. They are one and the same.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Let the Holy Spirit reveal this to you by revelation.

Instead of looking to the origin of the herpes zoster problem:
both the
(paradoxical) infectivity and the lack of efficacy of the chickenpox
vaccine itself, the vaccine industry and its cheerleading arm, the CDC,
are now promoting a new “shingles” vaccine which contains more of the
same: another live varicella virus.
And already there is indication that
the shingles vaccine causes … you guessed it … reactivation of the
herpes zoster virus. Read a 2012 case study on this connection here.

So why is Google so good at what it does?
It is the people behind Google.
If Google sees that you're searching for specific programming terms, they may ask you to apply for a job as Max Rossett writes that three months ago while working on a project, he Googled "python lambda function list comprehension."
The familiar blue links appeared on the search page, and he started to look for the most relevant one. But then something unusual happened.
The search results split and folded back to reveal a box that said "You're speaking our language. Up for a challenge?"
Clicking on the link took Rossett to a page called "foo.bar" that outlined a programming challenge and gave instructions on how to submit his solution.
"I had 48 hours to solve it, and the timer was ticking," writes Rossett.
"I had the option to code in Python or Java. I set to work and solved the first problem in a couple hours. Each time I submitted a solution, foo.bar tested my code against five hidden test cases."
After solving another five problems the page gave Rossett the option to submit his contact information and much to his surprise, a recruiter emailed him a couple days later asking for a copy of his resume.
Three months after the mysterious invitation appeared, Rossett started at Google.
Apparently Google has been using this recruiting tactic for some time.
