I believe:
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her begotten out of Spirit is Holy, and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.' Matt 1:20
ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος ἰδού, ἄγγελος κυρίου κατ᾽ ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ λέγων, Ἰωσὴφ υἱὸς Δαβίδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν αριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου· τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου Mτέξεται δὲ υἱὸν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν· αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν Matt 1:20,21 TR
'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us The God.' Matt 1:23
Ἰδού, ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὁ θεός

Or I AM BECAUSE I AM, or I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE
NASB has this note relative to I AM - Related to the name of God, YHWH, rendered LORD, which is derived from the verb HAYAH, to be
I ask is Ex 3:14 not only a statement but also a prophecy? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. < vi Pres vxx 1 Sg
Relative to God the Father and the Son of God who was speaking with Moses? How do you understand, "The LORD said unto my Lord"? Is this the Father speaking to the Son? Is Jesus also the seed of David?
What is the meaning of, Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee?

Jesus Christ is both the man and God. As the man not God, John 20:17, ". . . I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." And as that man who is also God omnipresent, John 3:13, ". . . no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. . . ." Jesus as a man said this while He was on earth.
