God is the Unnameable Namer. The Devil is the One With Many Names.
When asked by Moses what was his name, God said: "I am". God refused to reveal his name, if he still had one. Those were his magic words. By refusing His name, He refused to be separated from everything else in the Universe, and thus He became the Universe itself.
Names are powerful chains. Were humans not to be encaged from the Universe through their names, they would be as God is: omnipresent, omniscient, almighty. God gave them light and gave them a mirror, the reflection of self, the best way of binding an unlimited mind to a limited reality. The indivisible infinity of truth is marred by mankind's fences. God retains a healthy unawareness of Himself, and thus He retains the Universe.
In His light, we see what He wants us to see. Fools have we been with our concerns about lenses and filters when it has been light itself the very source of corruption of truths.
For this God "who is" is a usurper, a man made God, some evil prophet of old who found something he should not have found, and thus are our hopes always shattered when placed upon this being who feeds on our despair and death.
