Sorry, Simeon knew Jesus was the Messiah when Mary and Joseph presented Him in the temple.

Truly said.

The differences then would be that Mary was informed by the angel Gabriel, Peter received a divine revelation from God the Father and Simeon upon whom the Holy Ghost already rested received a divine revelation from the Holy Ghost.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. - Luke 2:25-26

God's Name is I AM.
