Calling God his father, making himself equal with God is merely an OT fact of society. The Father ran his estate until a time when he basically retired and gave the authority of the family farm/business/ direct family members and slaves over to his firstborn son. Thus making himself equal to his Father, as his father had done. But not in the same time period. At differing time periods, his father is equal to his father who is equal to his father who is..... It was not considered a real claim of equal to God..., just a use of his words to inflict harm as you often see in this day from the democrats against the republicans
