Is not this the revelation of "I and my Father are one"?

Again I would say no. While acknowledging Christ embodied the same essence as the Father YAHWEH Himself, neither Jesus nor the scriptures make the claim the Jesus, the Son of God was also His Father in heaven.
There are clear and distinguishable differences between Jesus, the Son of God, and his Father in Heaven.
Concerning the Father/Son distinction, Jason Dulle says it like this,
"It is a distinction between YHWH's continued existence beyond the incarnation, and the same YHWH's existence in the incarnation when He brought a human nature into metaphysical union with His divine nature."
