Before Abraham was born

 One of the most important verses in the New Testament in relation to the saying of Jesus “Before Abraham was born, I am” is Jude verses 14 and 15. Only this verse in the KJV 66 book Bible contains what is unequivocally a reference to Jesus which existed in prophecy from before the birth of Abraham. Jude states firmly that Enoch the actual person historically seventh from Adam, hence long before Abraham was born, prophesied “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” It is clear that Jude would have believed firmly that the ‘Lord’ in this prophecy is Jesus. Hence Jesus existed in true, heavenly prophecy since before Abraham was born. Of course the prophet Enoch would have known far more than just this about Jesus and when he ascended he went to be where angels longed to look into these things.
