Clearly, he is God Eru Lluvatar. He is called the Eldest, Fatherless, all these clues pointing to he is uncreated and the first. He is also more powerful than Sauron and the ring of Power and does not fear corruption as is possible with all other valar and Mair. I believe he is the supreme deity working behind the scenes in subtle ways through Tolkiens world under an illusion of Tom Bombidil.
Tom is an enigma and as Tolkien said in his own words is not that important to the story. Only he knew the true reason for his inclusion. But I have a theory. What if Tom was placed there as Tolkien's symbolic connection or an allegory to the real world for his own safe guard. People who spend a considerable amount of time immersed in fantasy or alternate reality situations can at some point begin to experience mental reactions. "Maladaptive daydreaming" is the term for a real condition that can afflict writers, actors and now gamers from spending too much time out of touch with reality. Prolonged exposure can interfere with work, relationships, and other responsibilities due to the person's difficulty focusing on the real world. You can only imagine the amount of time Tolkien spent creating and living in Middle Earth. Was/is Tom actually Tolkien's essence of himself? A lot of indicators exist that seem to support this theory. The name is actually that of a doll one of his children had, the character doesn't align with anything in the story, is basically unaffected and uninterested in significant aspects of the story, seems to possess God like powers and abilities and even professes that he is the oldest character in the story. Anyhow, just a theory.
@@Film_Paradise An early correspondent, a Mr Peter Hastings, manager of a Catholic bookshop in Oxford, made this interpretation. From Exodus 3:14, when Moses asks God "what name shall I call ye unto the people of Israel" (or something like that), and God replies I AM THAT AM, meaning "don't ask" (Letter 153.) The counter to this interpretation is Goldberry's actual reply to Frodo: FRODO: Who is Tom Bombadil? GOLDBERRY: He is.

Such a great theory you've got
The Withywindle is a river, not a place.
He is rescues the hobbits from barrow wights. He is not neutral . He us good. But his job is to guard and guide.
i think he is an incarnation of Eru lluvatar
Possible
There’s no mystery he’s a blue wizard
Tom acts as though he is mother nature or as I should say father nature
Perhaps
Not revealed
Sounds like he’s GOD 😂
Probably, I AM that I AM😂
