Jesus plainly said these words -
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58
Jesus never mentioned His Father.
He said before Abraham was, I AM.
He was plainly saying He was I AM, which of course is saying He was before Abraham because He was God.
This is the phrase that the Angel of the LORD used when speaking to Moses.
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. Exodus 3:1-6
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
Exodus 3:14
The Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses.
Moses said He was afraid to look upon God.
The Angel of the Lord is the Son of God; God the Son.
