Moses that his Name is "I AM."
"Then Moses
said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to
them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, `What
is His name?' what shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I
AM.'' And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.' ''

Jesus made claim to being God, to being the great "I
AM."

And Jesus said, I AM.
And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven."
