The angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in a burning bush
(Exo (2 Mos) 3:2). It's believed that when the angel of the Lord is mentioned in the Old Testament, it's always the pre-incarnated Jesus Christ. He said that he is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob (Exo (2 Mos) 3:6, 15), see Our Resurrection from Death. He said that his name is I AM (Exo (2 Mos) 3:14), see time 29:01–33:07 in DAVID GUZIK SERMON ON EXODUS 3 I AM Your God.

In Mark 14:61–62, when Jesus was accused before the high priest,
Jesus said that he is I AM. Also in John 8:57–59 and John 18:4–8, Jesus said that he is I AM, see this explained at time 10:33–15:22 in
John 18:1-18 – Glory Under Arrest. The Jews believed that Jesus was
blaspheming because he made himself God (which he is and is the truth) when he said that he is I AM, that is, God (Isaiah 43:10–11).
John 18:1-18 – Glory Under Arrest. The Jews believed that Jesus was
blaspheming because he made himself God (which he is and is the truth) when he said that he is I AM, that is, God (Isaiah 43:10–11).
The Samaritan woman said to Jesus: "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things." Jesus said to her: "I who speak to you am he." (John 4:25–26).
This means that Jesus was God in the flesh as a man on Earth.
He is eternal God, just as both the Father and the Holy Spirit are
also God, see The Trinity. The meaning of I AM is that Jesus has always existed as the Word (John 1:1, 14, 1 John 1:1, Rev 19:13), and will always exist as God the Son.

In Deu (5 Mos) 6:4 it says: "Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God, the Lord is one!" In Hebrew it says "Schama Yisrael, Yehovah,
Elohiym, Echad, Yehovah". God's name is mentioned three times, showing
the Trinity of God. In Hebrew there are two words for one, namely Echad = one, one-unit compound unit, and
Yacheed = one only, absolute one. In this case the word Echad
is used, which shows the Trinity of God.

In a similar way it is written in Gen (1 Mos) 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Here Echad is also used for one, showing that they are one entity. Likewise, God is a unity of three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
You can compare it to a family business consisting of three people.
Together they make up the family business, but each is a member
of the company. In the same way, God consists of three persons,
who together are God. They are not three gods.

Jesus says in John 10:30: "I and the Father are one." It's written in Greek. See the Greek word "one" explained at time 10:51–17:24 in
John 10 (Part 2) :22-42 • "I and the Father are one".
John 10 (Part 2) :22-42 • "I and the Father are one".
Jesus says: "Whoever believes in me, believes not (only) in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me."
(John 12:44–45). Jesus speaks of his closeness with God the Father.
(John 12:44–45). Jesus speaks of his closeness with God the Father.
Apostle John writes: "No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also." (1 John 2:23).
We can't confess one of them and deny the other. It's a package deal.

Jesus also says that whoever has seen him has seen the Father
(John 14:9), and that he is in the Father and that the Father
is in him (John 14:10–11), showing Jesus' deity, see Jesus is God and The Order between Jesus and the Father in the Trinity.
