He quoted the revelation to Moses as ( ehyeh asher ehyeh) "I will prove to be" or "I will be what I will be" - a future God. As to predestination, I can only cite Zeno, as the master beating his slave for stealing. the slave said "but I was destined to steal". Zeno replied "and I was destined to beat you" ( rimshot)
