    I am that I am means I will do whatever it takes to get my will done! When Moses asked who should I say sent me he was already well aware of God's name. He was nursed by his real mother who was a Jew, her ancestors where the 12 sons of Israel (Jacob). If study his account Jacob and his sons knew God’s name. What Moses was asking was who was going to back him on Egypt letting the Israelite Nation go. The true God Jehovah told Moses he would do what ever needed to be done for that to happen, that is what I AM that I AM means!
