He knew. Some of his disciples knew also, but until the resurrection of Christ from the dead happened, that put Christ's work in their minds as a new perspective--that their beliefs became actualized.Was Jesus aware of being Yahweh?
I have wondered how Christians rationalized Jesus' last words --- "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Jesus seems unaware that he was God.
What did Jesus mean by forsaken?
The usual definition means abandoned or deserted.
How can one abandon or desert themselves?
If Jesus knew he was Yahweh, how did he feel about the poor reputation the Jews gave Yahweh?
Is that why the Jews tried to kill Jesus more than once before the cross got him?
Further.
Jesus also said that he and god were one, yet scriptures seem to show Jesus as Yahweh’s good side and Yahweh as the evil side.
If Jesus/Yahweh shared the some consciousness, which they would have to given that there is only one god in Christianity, why are they so different?

Scholars question the resurrection ands so should you.
Here is Bart Ehrman's views and he is the most renown and trusted biblical scholar at present. He shows that only 1 of the 4 gospel writers wrote of Jesus naming himself god, and he explains the error.
If Jesus Never Called Himself God, How Did He Become One?
In How Jesus Became God, Bart Ehrman explores how a Jewish preacher from Galilee was transformed into a deity. "Jesus himself didn't call himself God and didn't consider himself God," Ehrman says.
