[T]he words “I am God, worship me” would have been grossly misunderstood in first-century Israel. The Jews, based on numerous Old Testament passages (Deuteronomy 32:6; Isaiah 31:9; 63:16; 64:8; Malachi 1:6; 2:10) thought of Yahweh as their Father. The claim “I am God, worship me” would therefore have been interpreted as a claim to be the Father.

Here, we have a Trinitarian implicitly deny that the Jews of the New Testament-era were Trinitarians of any shape or form. This flies in the face of much of popular apologetics on the Trinity (e.g. Robert Morey, The Trinity; James R. White, The Forgotten Trinity) that would have one believe that the Trinity was part-and-parcel of Old Testament, not just New Testament, theology.
