What is the Biblical basis for concluding 'Jesus is Yahweh (Jehovah or LORD)'? Of course Christianity believes Jesus is God, but I am interested in this question for the argument that Jehovah (I AM), the name of God which later Jews were not allowed to speak, is a term not unique to the Father. In other words, is this special name 'I AM' just as valid for the Son, as it is the Father?

Is Jesus = (Jehovah/Yahweh/YHWH) in the flesh?

Note: Yahweh/YHWH are just more original Hebrew representations of the English word Jehovah or capital LORD in our Bibles. These are all the same meaning, i.e. the name 'I AM'.
In Trinitarian orthodoxy, 


יַהְוֶה (Yahveh), commonly referred to as "the Tetragrammaton," is the name of God.
The Father is God, and thus, the name of the Father is Yahveh.
The Son is God, and thus, the name of the Son is Yavheh.
The Holy Spirit is God, and thus, the name of the Holy Spirit is Yahveh.
As there is only one God, there is only one name, Yahveh (יהוה), shared by the three persons of the Holy Trinity.


To note, יהיה - no matter what one assumes the nekkudot to be - could not translate into English as "I am." That would be אֶהְיֶה (ehyeh).

Zech. 2:11 proves that there is more than one person named Yahveh:


  And many nations shall be joined to Yahveh in that day and shall be My people, and I will dwell in your midst (cp. Zech. 2:10), and you shall know that Yahveh of hosts sent Me to you (cp. Zech. 2:9).


Note the two persons identified by the name Yahveh (יהוה). The one who sends is the Father, and the one who is sent to dwell among Israel is the Son. This theme is especially emphasized in the Gospel and Epistles of John (cp. John 1:14; John 8:42; 1 John 4:14).
