I Will Be What I Will Be

I was looking at this article from Wikipedia on "I AM that I AM" and started thinking about the implications of "I will be what I will be".

If you never died and didn't necessarily live in time and space (at least the one we recognize) but could if you wanted to: then literally you could be whatever you wanted to be because you would never die. So, you could be a billion people or more and all life on earth at once as well as the earth itself, the solar system or the entire galaxy or all galaxies. If you were a timeless being there really is no limitation to what you could be or how many things or beings you could manifest as. So, conceptually understanding that this is what God said of himself to Moses makes you know that you at the very least that Moses was dealing with a totally "Timeless being". Because how many of you can say, "I will be what I will be" and mean that in a completely limitless way?

I Am that I Am (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, ehyeh ašer ehyeh [ehˈje aˈʃer ehˈje]) is the common English translation (JPS among others) of the response God used in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). It is one of the most famous verses in the Torah. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; "ehyeh" is the first person singular imperfect form and is usually translated in English Bibles as "I will be" (or "I shall be"), for example, at Exodus 3:14. Ehyeh asher ehyeh literally translates as "I Will Be What I Will Be", with attendant theological and mystical implications in Jewish tradition. However, in most English Bibles, in particular the King James Version, the phrase is rendered as I am that I am.
Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh (often contracted in English as "I AM") is one of the Seven Names of God accorded special care by medieval Jewish tradition.[1] The phrase is also found in other world religious literature, used to describe the Supreme Being, generally referring back to its use in Exodus. The word Ehyeh is considered by many rabbinical scholars to be a first-person derivation of the Tetragrammaton, see for example Yahw
