"Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," declares the LORD. This is Jeremiah 7:11. God is laying out His case against Israel for the coming judgement.
Even I, declares the Lord. Why the even I?
Personally, God declares He witnessed the Temple becoming filled with those that used His house for their sinful practices in Jeremiah's time, watching the judgements pile up on Israel. Why the even I?
Of course God sees everything, in person, for He is all seeing, a witness to all our crimes against Him. Why the even I?
But in this the Lord Jesus Christ was a witness twice, using this passage as prophecy for His witness of the corrupting of the temple that Herod built. Even I am a witness, saith the Lord, in the flesh. This is underlining the divinity of our Lord and Savior. Even I, the Incarnate God is a witness to the profaning of His temple. Even I, saith the Lord.
