Jesus was chosen to be the Savior of the world before the foundation of the world. God the Father chosen and ordained him to be the Savior. Why? Because God the Father could rely upon Jesus to come through with the atoning sacrifice so, no Jesus would not have failed. God knows his children intimately and knew the character of Jesus before ordaining him as Savior before the foundation of this earth. He knew his character before he ever came to this earth and this is why he was chosen to be a member of the Godhead. The atonement was too critical of a mission for the Father to choose someone that he knew would fail. God knows the end from the beginning and knew that Jesus would not fail him even though Jesus did have free will.In the OT YHWH (Jehovah) was the only savior. Jesus didnt become savior until he completed his ransom sacrifice. He could have failed.
The Hebrews say the statement in the OT does not translate-i am that i am--i will be what i will be is correct. They know their language better than any trinitarian. Jesus answered the question posed to him that is all-he lived before Abraham.
The Biblical meaning of "I AM"
1 Peter 1:19-20
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
