Footnotes
[g] John 8:56 -“Your father Abraham [greatly] rejoiced to see My day (My incarnation). ^[g]He saw it and was delighted.” How Abraham saw the incarnation of Jesus is unclear. Some suggest it was simply by faith, others suggest it was through Isaac and the promise of the covenant, but more likely, he saw it from Paradise.
[h] John 8:58 -“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, before Abraham was born, ^[h]I Am.”- I.e. I Am the One who is—the Lord, Heb Yahweh.
