“I will be Who I will be ” replied God to Moses. (Shemos 3:14)
“If I want to give a conception of My Essence which will elevate man far above all creations … then I will pronounce My Name and say of Myself: ‘I will be Who I will be.’
All other creations remain in the same state as they were created; their daily existence tied to the Will of the One Above. Only He can say “I will be Who I want to be.” This expresses Hashem’s absolute free Essence. With Hashem saying “I will be” … the future becomes completely dependent on His Will and free of all other conditions. This concept expresses Judaism’s grasp of the prepotency of G-d (Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch al HaTorah).
Stand proud and tall for your G-d is characterized by: “I will be Who I will be” — He is not bound to the past; He is not dependent on the present but rather He is Omnipotent at all times and especially in the future. All that Hashem wants to do He will do.
