For many many centuries people have been debating about God. Many people want to understand the mystery that revolves around God and who God is and what God is if not a human being or a physical form. Some of the titbits the bible gives us is that God is everywhere, God sees and knows and hears everything, God is omnipotent (all powerful) and that nothing is too big or too magnificent or great, that it can top God's greatness. Then the Bible also says that "God is Love". For me this opened a piece of understanding that helped me relieve a bit of the mystery and puzzles in my own head...because in Corinthians 1 chapter 13 the entire chapter is devoted to what Love is. So in short, it describes God more by saying what a perfect state of Love God is in and that that is something we should model ourselves on, because God certainly made us in His "image" or he modelled us on His own characteristics so that we too have the potential to live out as much as our flawed human natures will allow, God's intentions in our lives.
So Apart from God being "the Great I am" God is Love. What is love, its perfect, its everywhere, it speaks in tongues everyone can understand, if a stranger who speaks a totally unknown language, helps you from a drowning ship (they dont OWE you help) they do it out of love (that God calls us to have for our "neighbours" (or fellow humans) you understand that they did you an act of kindness, or love, even though u dont begin to understand whatever foreign language they speak. So in short, Love is understood in any language, through gestures (acts of kindness) and it unifies rather than divides. As Christians we are known as "one body in Christ" we all become a part of God... and then also...if God is everywhere, love is everywhere, God never dies, Love never dies, Love has existed for as long as humans can remember, Love never dies. it is a powerful force, it can make or break human beings...these are parts of the Bible where God reveals some of his mystery to us. Because we are sinful, and we continue to sin, God does not reveal HImself to us in the way he did in Biblical times. God certainly speaks to us, through other people, and some people believe that God operates in a collective sort of consciousness, that is to say, God is a force of intelligence which knows all the answers about the universe and He is the greatest form of life that ever existed, that God is the Alpha (the beginning) and the Omega (the end) and therefore, God is the Great "I Am". That is to say, everything begins and ends with God, therefore, God is the greatest living force that ever existed since the start of time...

This is a commission between Jehovah GOD and Moses. The start of the JEWISH voyage to the promise land. Jehovah God explaining he's the START and the END.

As I understand the passage, God was saying that He is God and therefore no one else.
Remember the Ten Commandments? Thou shalt have no other God but me?
No matter what Religion one has, there is but one God - even though He may have different names in those other Religions.

The Egyptians had many gods by many different names. Moses wanted to know God's name so the Hebrew people would know exactly who had sent him to them.
God called Himself "I AM", a name describing His eternal power and unchangeable character.

It meanes to accept what you are at that moment in time. It may change someday, but for today - for right now - you must accept what you are and what your lot in life is.

Accepting doesn't mean you have to LIKE it - just accept it.

A better translation of what Jehovah is saying is:

Ex 3:
14 At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.’”

Bible names have meanings and are not just labels.

Jesus means "Jehovah is Salvation"

Since Moses started compiling God's word shortly after receiving this commission. The Israelites didn't have a complete picture of Who and What their God was.

Jehovah is tell His people that He would become anything necessary to free and lead His people.

Ex 3:15 - 18shows that it not by the definition of His Name that we are to use, But the name of Jehovah.

15And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name -- to the age, and this My memorial, to generation -- generation.

16`Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

17and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

18`And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
