It is perhaps one of the most daring statements we see of Jesus. "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am". "I am" is the Divine name. If we take it that way, there is nothing special about it in itself. It just is a factual statement that God is also the Lord of Abraham. No one should have had any problem with it. Yet, when Jesus says that, they immediately become furious and pick up stones to throw at him. This means that Jesus was claiming the name of God for himself. In this statement, Abraham is referred to in the past tense, and He is in the eternal present.

Who was Abraham? The common ancestor of the Israelites, the Ishmaelites, the Edomites, and the Samaritans! (Ishmael is the first child of Abraham. The Ishmaelites are the descendants of Ishmael. Isaac is the second son of Abraham. The Israelites are the descendants of Isaac. The Edomites are the descendants of Isaac's eldest son, Esau. The Samaritans are the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Jacob's favorite son, Joseph.)

The 'Abrahamic Family House' is a new divine field that has sprung up in Abu Dhabi after the visit of Pope Francis to UAE in 2019. Three holy tents are built in the same size in the same shape, at the same distance, like the three corners of one and the same triangle: one a synagogue, one a church, and one a mosque. Like three cubes that has 30 meters on each side- is today's Abrahamic family house!

Before these Abrahamic religions came to be, before Abraham himself was, Jesus says in the Divine name - "I am."

Come and pick up some stones. Let's stone Him!!
