“I Am Who I Am” or Absolute Otherness
God is revealed to the world through His words and actions, but what He is in
His Being remains unknown for the creation. An act of the revelation of His
Godhead, as far as the created being might understand, is the name that God
Himself reveals: “I Am Who I Am.” The name of God has spiritual and
eschatological value. Uttering the Divine Name means asserting the presence and
work of God in creation; re-asserting and renewing the work and purpose of man:
his deification and transfiguration of the entire creation. The Divine Name -
Yahweh - defines He Who is undefined, represents. He Who is unrepresented
because His Name is indissolubly connected to His Person.
