In the above video, Chris Rosebrough gets technical and proves the point that we need to be extremely wary of Jacob Prasch. (1 John 4:1). Prasch capitalizes on the fact that many believers do not know the original languages and do not have the wherewithal to fact check him. Prasch's dishonesty is not limited to false doctrines, it reveals itself on many different levels as demonstrated by the fact that even Prasch's close associate, Servus Christi aka Joshua Chavez was deceived into thinking that he was half Jewish:
Prasch's boast that he was a millionaire: "I have gone from being lower middle class, upper middle class to a paper millionaire. Going into the ministry I went from making a few thousand dollars a week legally (before that it was illegally).. I gave up everything to go to Israel because I had only been to seminary/university before that. .. my original background was science.. and then I worked for a big company in America, did extremely well, so well that I gave up a supervisory position and joined the union, because the union paid so well I was making a couple of thousand a week as a kid.." {1}
It appears that Prasch "gave up everything to go to Israel", primarily in order to deceive the Jewish people! {2} He has been teaching this Metatron heresy for a number of years, since at least 2009. John Haller confirmed this when he said that Prasch's Metatron teaching: ".. was only to witness to Jews." {3} Prasch apparently singled out the Jewish people in particular for this deception, even passing himself himself off as half Jewish until his false identity was exposed last year. Prasch's secondary target is any gullible church that will have him. Having stated that he only uses rabbinic sources for the purpose of evangelizing ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Jews based on Acts 17:23, this this did not stop him teaching The Metatron at the non-Jewish church Devore Truth (Community Church of Devore) CA in 2019. {4}
Notwithstanding my doctrinal issues with Rosebrough, he has done an excellent job in explaining how Prasch has manipulated Revelation 5:6 in order to come up with Metatron.
Below is a brief summary of Rosebrough's exposure of Prasch's convoluted attempt to pass off meta thronon as Metatron:
Prasch's thesis: Metatron (מֶטָטְרוֹן) is a Hebrew transliteration of the Greek term meaning "at the centre" or "from the middle" of the throne.
And between (μέσῳ) the throne (τοῦ θρόνου) and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6)
The King James Version (and some other translations) translate μέσῳ as {the} midst. {5}
Prasch falsely claims that the preposition μετά (meta) is a synonym for the Greek adjective
μέσος (mesos). The context of the verse indicates that the Lamb is not actually in the centre/middle of the throne, but rather He is in the space between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders.
μέσος (mesos). The context of the verse indicates that the Lamb is not actually in the centre/middle of the throne, but rather He is in the space between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders.
Reading directly from the Greek text, Prasch deliberately switches τοῦ θρόνου (tou thronou)
for τοῦ θρόνον (tou thronon). (Rosebrough inadvertently quotes him as saying ton thronon, but Prasch actually says tou thronon). This may seem like a small detail, but in fact it is critical ~ thronon is in the accusative case, whereas τοῦ θρόνου is genitive. In other words, Prasch completely obscures the meaning of the text to make it appear that the text says meta thronon i.e. the Metatron is in the middle of the throne.
Prasch's final explanation is absurd!
Readers of this post should pause for a moment to allow the full horror of Prasch's Metatron heresy to penetrate. Prasch takes blasphemy to an entirely different level. He inserts the demon Metatron into the very Throne Room of God! Prasch's "Metatrone" is non other than the very Lamb of God i.e. the very person of Jesus Christ! I really can't think of a more heinous heresy than this, only comparable to what the Antichrist will do.
It (the beast) opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. (Revelation 13:6).
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. (2 Peter 2:1-3).
