That our Lord by this expression asserted his divinity and eternal existence , as the great I AM , appears evident from the use of the present tense , instead of the past tense , from its being in answer to the Jews , who enquired whether he had seen Abraham , and from its being thus understood by the multitude , who were exasperated at it to such a degree that they took up stones to stone him. The ancient Jews not only believed that the Messiah was superior to and Lord of all the patriarchs , and even of angels , but that his celestial nature existed with God from whom it emanated , before the creation , and that the creation was effected by his ministry
