I AM THAT WHICH I AM!
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
I AM.
I AM a tense.
I AM a divine tense.
I AM a divine tense of prescience.
I AM a divine tense of prescient wisdom.
I AM a divine tense that is utterly immense.
I AM a divine tense of heavenly omnipotence.
I WAS.
And I AM.
And I SHALL BE.
The Light of the World.
That which is unbounded.
Beyond all sense of time and space.
Lord of all that mankind can ever survey.
I SHALL BE.
That which I choose.
Beyond man’s comprehension.
Beyond all earthly understanding.
Beyond the beginning of all creation.
I the Lord of the Earth am the great Alpha.
I, Lord of the universe, am the great Omega.
I AM.
And I WAS.
And I SHALL BE.
Although I AM in Time.
Yet I remain beyond Time.
For I AM the WAS and the SHALL BE.
For I AM the eternal Alpha and Omega.
“O ye my people,
Do not ye be afraid.
Stand still and see my glory.
Stand still and see the glory of the Lord.
Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
See that which the Lord will accomplish for you.
O see that which the Lord will accomplish today.”
