JACOB PRASCH: THE BLOOD OF THE GOAT!!!

For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4).

The Red Heifer Part 1 by Jacob Prasch:

"Jesus is typified not only as the Lamb of God and the Scapegoat, but also as the Red Heifer - the Corbanim. The Red Heifer completes our cleansing and purification - Tumiah and Tahera in our lives." {1} 

(Notice the application of the first person plural pronoun 'our' and the present tense).

Prasch's various references to the blood of the goat:

Prasch refers to "the blood of the scapegoat" at least twice in his video The Red Heifer Part 1 {1} 

 "How many songs have we heard about the blood of the scapegoat?"

"We know that Jesus is the Lamb, but most Christians don't realise He is also the goat." 

 "Thank you Lord for the blood of the goat." 

"Why do you need the blood of the goat as well as the blood of the Lamb?" 

In his video, The Life Is In The Blood at Fellowship Bible Chapel, Prasch teaches that the goat released into the wilderness (i.e. the scapegoat in Leviticus 16), had to die. {2}

Prasch: "..so they had to take it 90 stadia..  into the wilderness of Judah and push it off a cliff, this was the Azazel. The Azazel still has to die you understand. They tried to take Jesus and throw him off the cliff..  They had the wrong goat - you understand. He was the other goat - He had to die in Jerusalem. It was the Azazel who died outside Jerusalem.. (!!) they had the wrong goat.. The Jews tried to identify Jesus with the Azazel and tried to push him off a cliff.. (Luke 4:29). (12:30 mark)

Jesus died outside the city of Jerusalem:  

So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. . (Hebrews 13:12-13 cf. John 19:20).     

Benson: "..the expression, without the gate, was of the same import as without the camp in the wilderness. Wherefore criminals, being regarded as unclean, were always put to death without the gates of their cities." {3}

Prasch makes at least five assumptions from the Mishnah! (Titus 1:14).

1. Jesus is the goat. 
2. The scapegoat was pushed off a cliff.
3. The scapegoat shed its blood. 
4. The scapegoat has the status of a sacrifice.
5. When the Jews attempted to throw Jesus down a cliff in Luke 4:29 they identified him with Azazel. 

In Leviticus 16, the scapegoat was one of a pair of goats. One of the goats (not the scapegoat) was sacrificed as a sin offering. The living goat, the scapegoat, was sent into the wilderness, taking with it all the sins and impurities of the people of Israel:

Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel. And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD and use it as a sin offering, but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel. (Leviticus 16:7-10)

And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins. And he shall put them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. The goat shall bear all their iniquities on itself to a remote area, and he shall let the goat go free in the wilderness. (Leviticus 16:21-22).

Mishnah Yoma 6:6: "He (the conductor) divided the tongue of crimson wool: the half of it he tied to the rock, and the second half between his [the scapegoat's] horns; he pushed him down backward. He went rolling and falling down; he did not reach halfway of the mountain before he became separated limb from limb. He [the conductor] returned to sit down under the last booth, till dark. And since when became his clothes unclean? After he had issued from the walls of Jerusalem. R. Simeon says: After he had pushed it down from the rock." {4}

The fate of the scapegoat in Yoma 6:6 is ambivalent and contradicts the scriptures. The Torah repeatedly refers to it as "הַשָּׂעִיר הֶחָי"‎5 and speaks of it merely being sent away rather than ritually slaughtered or killed. This ritual finds a close parallel in the leprosy purification process described only two chapters earlier in Vayikra 14. There, the Torah similarly mandates the bringing of two birds,7 one of which is slaughtered while the second is set free.8 Rabbinic tradition, however, dictates that the Azazel goat is to be thrown off a cliff.9 What leads the Rabbis to adopt this position, and how can it be squared with the plain reading of the scriptures? Additionally, if the goat is indeed killed, does it have the status of a sacrifice?10 {5}  

The Jews attempt to throw Jesus down a cliff finds a possible parallel in Chronicles 2:25:12 i.e. this method was used as an improvised method of execution in Amaziah’s treatment of the Edomite prisoners. "This form of punishment is only mentioned in 2 Chronicles 25:12; but in Phocis it was the punishment for sacrilege. (Philo.)" {6}

Ironically, Prasch recently attempted to defend his "Metatron" heresy, stating that he only uses rabbinic sources for the purpose of evangelizing ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Jews based on Acts 17:23. He condemns Kabballah and the Rabbinic tradition as "absolutely occult". {7} There does not seem to be a satisfactory explanation as to why Prasch taught this heresy at the non-Jewish church Devore Truth (Community Church of Devore) CA in 2019. {8} Prasch's distortion of the scriptures with the Mishnah when teaching "The Blood Of The Goat" to non-Jewish congregations such as Fellowship Bible Chapel is yet another instance of his duplicity.

Azazel appears in the bible as an obscure entity that receives a scapegoat of sin from Aaron in Leviticus 16. However, the Book of 1 Enoch and other apocryphal texts refer to Azazel as a Watcher i.e. a fallen angel who corrupted man and opposed God.

The Book of 1 Enoch is generally not considered to be canonical. However, a number of Christian denominations accept it as having some historical or theological interest. 1 Enoch contains unique material regarding the origins of demons and giants, the reason some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Great Flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the millennial reign of the Messiah. {9} 1 In particular, the story of Azazel in 1 Enoch appears to have a connection with Genesis 6:4 and the biblical account of the fall of the angels located on Mount Hermon. 

And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. (1 Enoch 8:1-2).

Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn: (1 Enoch 9:6).

Interestingly, the account of Azazel's punishment in 1 Enoch 10 has some similarities with the scapegoat rite:

And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.' (1 Enoch 10:4-8)

We should completely reject Prasch's heretical rantings on the subject of "the blood of the goat".

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (Hebrews 9:11-14).

He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:8–10).

PRASCH'S TIRADE!

MORIEL TV: BILL RANDLES & CHRIS ROSEBOROUGH - July 2020
https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=moriel%20tv&epa=SEARCH_BOX

Blessings

It has been Moriel's policy to ignore the diatribes of Bill Randles, an unsuccessful pastor & author, as we have stated all we needed to and choose to deny him the attention he seems to crave since pulpit as a pastor and platform as an author no longer accord him the recognition he once had, but largely no longer does.

It appears that unable to amplify his erroneous teaching and criticisms of myself & Moriel, Bill Randles has sought to jump onto to bandwagon of another in an attempt to regain the voice he no longer can command on his own. Specifically, he has joined forces with Ultra-Lutheran sacramentalist and A-millennial/ Post Millenial Great Tribulation denier Chris Roseborough in a rather theologically ridiculous effort to misrepresent and distort my own beliefs.

Bill Randles, (like Mr. Rogers - the follower of David Nathan and devotee of Michael Brown) of course speaks in gross doctrinal ignorance concerning both the subject of the Metatron and my evangelistic use of it in witnessing to Orthodox Jews which has been my only interest in it or reference to it. It is a necessity in Messianic Apologetics for Jewish Evangelism to religious Jews to be able to address their distorted cabalistic view of the One in Old Testament scripture called "The Angel Of The Lord', known to Christians as a Christophany (Old Testament appearance of Christ), but called The Metatron by Orthodox and Chassidic Jews who later reframed the scriptural figure with mysticism in the Zohar and the Babylonian Talmud.

This 20-year-old teaching on the Metatron was part of a training series to assist Christians to share their faith evangelistically with Orthodox Jews and educate them in what they believe, much the same as the evangelistic training for Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Moslems, Roman Catholics, New Agers, etc. Like Paul in Athens, one must know what others believe to enter into evangelistic dialogue with them. In the teaching, I did specifically issue caveats warning against the occult nature and Babylonian Gnosticism in Kaballah. Now, 20 years later a former Nazarene turned manic fundamentalist Lutheran takes something out of the evangelistic context it was presented in to falsely attack me ascribing nonsensical beliefs to me that I have not only never held, but examined in context, actually warned against.

To grasp this idiocy, Bill Randles, of course, supported the Menelaws in their promotion of David Nathan while even admitting that he knew David Nathan to be a heretic (denial of God The Father as Creator, belief in animal blood being able to remove sin, and praying God's power into a tie or jacket to knock people over for healing). As a result of Bill Randles' actions, Moriel ceased our marketing and promotion of his books that almost no one reads. Consequently, he is embittered.

Without reference to myself or Moriel, for reasons unrelated to us, Bill Randles, as a result of his actions, has lost nearly all of his church in Iowa. He has since had false teachers in his church (among them, one who teaches that the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11 are God The Father & The Holy Spirit who must come in human form and die in Jerusalem as Jesus did, and Craig White from the unmitigated lunatic fringe). Thus, we are not completely surprised that Bill Randles now aligns himself with Chris Roseborough, a notorious proponent of sacramental & Post Milleniel hyper-Lutheranism. Bill Randles also now teaches that the Gospel is 'not a Message of Love'. Bill Randles is disturbed that we consider him to have become a proven false teacher and angry because we can no longer carry or promote his books in good conscience. The scandals that surrounded the mass exodus from his church were indeed very ugly, to say the least, but were wholly unrelated to us. Now however we understand why.

Most of Bill Randles' itinerate ministry as an author whose books do not sell, and who is no longer welcome to most churches that once invited him, is likewise over and not going to be resuscitated. Though we had absolutely nothing to do with his decimated church where all of his elders, his secretary of more than 25 years, and whole families that had been with him walked out in utter disgust, for doctrinal & ethical reasons, we are in sympathy with those who left. Bill Randles labeled the pastor of the local Calvary Chapel to where many of his former congregants went as refugees as a "Psychopath", thus we are not surprised at his attacks on us. These refugees included the majority of young adults who had grown up from early childhood in the nursery and Sunday School of what little is left of his church. Again, Moriel & myself had no involvement in this, but we are forced to recognize that those who joined the exodus from his church had little ethical & doctrinal option.

Regarding 'The Metatron' we will of course be issuing a refutation to the bogus theology of the extremist Lutheran Chris Roseborough, who teaches forgiveness for sins come from telling one's sins to him as 'pastor' and to receive 'absolution'. Roseborough also teaches such things as that the Millennial reign of Christ began 2,000 years ago with the Ascension of Christ when Satan was supposedly bound, and that there is no such thing as a literal 666, etc. Having lost most of his church and most of his ministry, this proponent of sacramental salvation is the new partnership Bill Randles has chosen because most of those who once stood with him can no longer trust or respect him, nor sanction his supposed ministry. One can almost sarcastically imagine Bill Randles 'going to confession' and kneeling before the statue of Christ in Roseborough's church and telling Roseborough his sins to get remission. Why would a Pentecostal parakeet for Roseborough?

Chris Roseborough is the worst kind of Lutheran - propounding a hybrid of Roman Catholicism and Lutheranism, complete with graven images, altars, candles, icons, crucifixes, and a belief in ritualistic ex opera operato baptismal regeneration. He also believes in an actual literal presence of Jesus in the physical communion wine and bread (without the elements being transubstantiated) that is the vehicle to remove sin. This is a very strange ally for a Pentecostal as Bill Randles professes to be. Embittered & desperate people however do desperate things. Oddly, Bill Randles has often written and spoken of the End of The Age, but he is now in bed with someone who denies and teaches against a literal 7 final years, a denial of an actual mark of the beast and 666, and who rejects the prophetic significance of contemporary world events.

For those unfamiliar with Chris Roseborough, he is somewhat renowned for his excretory vulgarity and fecal profanity complete with cartoon graphics of an explicitly excretory and fecal nature which he deems to be funny to demean Christians who disagree with his twisted doctrinal theology. He dismisses Christians who take the Olivet Discourse & Matthew 24 and End Time Prophecy literally as a "Doomsday Cult". He has currently gone into promoting the Doreen Virtue and her claimed 'vision' (and now a painting) of her 3 Dimensional Jesus with curly brown hair, but no nail marks showing everyone his sacred heart extruding from his chest. Roseborough is also an ardent defender of John Mac Arthur's teaching that there will be people who accept the Mark of the Beast, and still get saved and go to heaven (even though Roseborough teaches it is not a literal mark). The question is: 'Why would Bill Randles now go into league with such a nefarious person'? The answer is unfortunately obvious. The reason is resentment and desperation.

Bill Randles gave the Judas kiss only to discover that his filthy lucre was a devalued currency. In the end, almost inevitably, Judas hangs himself.

Studio Scotland & GV 24/7 who promoted David Nathan and whom Bill Randles defended are locked in a dilemma. They have been unable to produce another film with the merit and impact of 'The Daniel Project' despite hiring a famous Hollywood talent for a supposed sequel. Their other films come to no real notoriety. Yet their crowning achievement,'The Daniel Project' is built around the narration of someone they now detest - specifically Jacob Prasch. They are permanently saddled with the dilemma that their signature production features me and they must, therefore, promote my ministry while simultaneously hating and cursing it at the same time. This hideous quagmire is a comical fiasco that most certainly reflects the humorous judgment of God. They can only present their premier film by giving accolades to their chosen nemesis. This is God's Hand. How can I not laugh? Meanwhile, their GV 24/7 is a pointless joke that hardly anyone watches in terms of viewership. This is whom Bill Randles defends.

Yet Bill Randles himself has likewise has become a failed pastor whose church he caused to disintegrate and a failed author whose itinerate ministry he has largely caused to collapse, with a repertoire of books he cannot persuade many Christians to purchase and read. Joining forces with an extremist Lutheran sacramentalist who teaches that Satan has been bound for the last 2,000 years - in order to attack me & Moriel with falsehood, is not going to revive the ministry that he destroyed. What is left of Bill Randles' ministry is folding like a cheap suit. No longer having much of a pulpit or a platform of his own, so we now witness the pathetic spectacle of Bill Randles playing the drum in someone else's parade. He tries to make a big noise, but the music is cacophonic and the percussion is deafening; very few are even listening.

This has been a tragic saga. I once endorsed and promoted Bill Randles. and Moriel pushed his material and helped him however we could. The spiritual, ethical, and theological ruination that Bill Randles has inflicted upon himself and his church & ministry has been a sad victory for Satan. I do not delight in the demise of his writing ministry, or in seeing the deflated vestige of its former self that his church has become; things which Bill Randles has very foolishly brought upon himself. Yet these grim realities remain undeniable. Disingenuous spins, more false teaching, and ungodly vengeful alliances with pseudo-sanitized Roman Catholicism are not going to reverse it.

JACOB PRASCH'S METATRON HERESY AIMED SPECIFICALLY AT THE JEWS

Proof Prasch LIED About Metatron Being in the Bible!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJOXtIxlJZI&feature=em-lsp

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. 

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).

I am reluctant to give my approval to any and every person that criticizes Jacob Prasch. In some cases, a valid accusation against Prasch runs the risk of backfiring because his accusers' own house is not in order. I put Lutheran, Chris Rosebrough and his Calvinist friends firmly in this category. Prasch is not a soft target and he will not hesitate to capitalize on even the smallest chink in the amour of those who challenge him. Where Prasch cant find a chink, he slanders, as demonstrated in his frequent "Jezebel" accusation, and his various other ad hominem attacks against others. (Proverbs 10:8; 1 Corinthians 5:11). In Rosebrough's case, Prasch does not need to resort to slander. The gaping holes in Rosebrough's theology give both Prasch, and his sidekick Amos Farrell, plenty of ammunition. Prasch's aim is of course to take the focus off his own heretical teachings and misdeeds by transferring all the attention onto Rosebrough's heresy.

I believe that God is using this situation to expose various heretical teachings on both sides of this dogfight. The onus is on the Body of Christ to employ wisdom and impartially in order to discern truth from error from all angles of this dispute. (1 John 4:1; James 3:17).

Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. (Psalm 51:6).

Chris Rosebrough

Chris Rosebrough is the Pastor of Kongsvinger Lutheran Church in Oslo Mn. which is a member congregation of The American Association of Lutheran Churches. Rosebrough also hosts Pirate Christian Radio and the YouTube channel Fighting for the Faith. 

Roseborough rejects premillennialism in favour of amillennialism. This is the reason that he calls Moriel Ministries "A doomsday cult of personality, rallying around the teachings of Jacob Prasch."
Rosebrough: Jacob Prasch has determined that we are right on the cusp of the end times.."  

Amillennialism (Greek: a- "no" + millennialism), in Christian eschatology, involves the rejection of the belief that Jesus will have a literal, thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth. This rejection contrasts with premillennial and some postmillennial interpretations of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation. {1}

I agree with Rosebrough that Moriel Ministries are "..a cult of personality, rallying around the teachings of Jacob Prasch." However, the ramifications arising from Rosebrough's amillennialism are weighty.

Rosebrough: "Everything in the book of Revelation is symbolic." 

Rosebrough and other amillennialists (including the Roman Catholic Church), are inconsistent in that they ignore sound hermeneutical principles in order to suit their own subjective theology. The amillennial position allows for prophetic passages of scripture to be abused and bent to one's own theological preference. The allegorical interpretation of the book of Revelation is unsafe and is a doctrine of confusion. (See Further Links).

The Lutheran doctrine of baptismal regeneration and also the doctrine of consubstantiation as stated on the doctrinal statement of Kongsvinger Lutheran Church should be firmly rejected as "another gospel". (2 Corinthians 11:14). No sacrament can produce regeneration! Salvation is based on faith alone! (James 2:24; Luke 23:42):

"What We Believe, Teach and Confess:

The Means of Grace (Word and Sacraments)

The Holy Spirit, through the Word, reveals our sinful nature and God’s perfect, eternal nature. Through Baptism, the Word works through water to bury our sinful nature and raise us to a new, eternal life in Christ. In the Lord's Supper, the believer receives the forgiveness of sins through the presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in bread and wine."  {2}

The (mainly Lutheran) doctrine of constubstantiation (as against transubstantiation), is the belief that the substance of the bread and wine temporarily coexists with the body and blood of Christ so that the two substances co-exist side by side. Transubstantiation is the belief that the bread and the wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, constubstantiation is the heretical doctrine is an attempt to hold the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist without admitting Transubstantiation. (3) In fact both these doctrines are heretical and have no basis in scripture. The context of the Passover meal builds upon Jesus' previous teaching that His words are spirit and life. (John 6:52-58, 63).

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:52-58).

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (John 6:63).

Rosebrough defends the indefensible and condones idolatrous statues of Christ on the altar as "liturgical art". 

The second commandment: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6).   

And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:39).

God looks down from heaven

on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.  (Psalm 53:2-3).

JACOB PRASCH OFFERS METATRON ALTAR CALL? - "SALVATION FROM THE METATRON!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlP2a8s5Jsc&feature=em-uploademail

Frank Rogers:

Jacob Prasch gives an altar call and offers people to receive salvation through the METATRON, a demonic demon found in the Kabbalah instead of leading people to Christ. The METATRON is certainly not Christ and to lead others to a false Christ will bring confusion at best and lead people to satan at worst. Prasch states blatantly that the "best Jew you could ever meet is the Metatron" as well as offering an altar call of which people can receive "salvation from the Metatron"

Jacob Prasch - moving out of your calling - covering in ministry - antisemitism in the church.
17 Jun 2020

An interesting turn of events has developed between Jacob Prasch and Jan Markell (Olive Tree Ministries). As tbckawaii has observed, Prasch never apologizes, and I think that tbck may be correct in his assumption that Jan Markell is either suing or else threatening to sue him. {1}

Going back to the Prasch's video..

Prasch's attack against Amir Tsarfati continues and is as virulent as ever. To dwell on someone's error for no other reason than defamation purposes is utterly wicked. Tsarfati publicly recanted his teaching that Michael the Archangel was a Christophany some time ago. It would only be justifiable to repeat the error if he had not recanted it. (Psalm 103:12). Prasch has never recanted his own false teaching that the occult figure the Metatron was a Christophany, but that doesn't seem to enter into the equation! {2} By graphically regurgitating Tsarfati's error and airing the video clip again is nothing less than character assassination. John the Revelator was in error when he fell at the feet of an angel to worship him. (Revelation 19:10). Paul rebuked Peter for hypocrisy in his dealings with the Jews. (Galatians 2:11-21). This proves that none of us are infallible. Our purpose and intention should always be to build one another up and restore a brother or sister who has gone astray: "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." (Galatians 6:1). 

Prasch's toxic attack against Tsarfati consisted of a series of backhanded compliments in which he attempted to belittle the man and destroy his ministry. He described Tsarfati as "a tour guide in Israel" and "a good political commentator in light of biblical prophecy". He continued his rant for seven minutes, repeating in various ways that Tsarfati is not a competent bible expositor and positing that he has moved "out of his gifting and calling". Prasch may think he has perfected the art of asteism (the ingenious manner deriding others), but his nefarious motives were not difficult to decipher.

As a native Israeli and a tour guide, Tsarfati has valuable knowledge that many Christians do not possess. It would be impossible for him to commentate prophetically on the political situation in Israel without benefitting from some scriptural insight! As with all teachers, we should always test what Tsarfati teaches against the scriptures. (1 John 4:1). Given Prasch's own track record of false teaching and bad fruit, he is in no position to belittle anyone else's ministry! (1 Timothy 3:2-3).

Prasch employed exactly the same tactics on Jan Markell later in the video, possibly (?), as tbck supposes, in order to fend off a lawsuit (15:31 mark). I share the dubious distinction with Jan of being called "Jezebel" (and other terrible things) by Prasch. He really does need to be brought to account for his libelous slander against others. (Psalm 140:11). If Prasch were a genuine Christian, I would not agree with a lawsuit, but since there is a huge question mark over his salvation, then Jan may be correct in taking this course of action, if indeed this is what this is about. I will not add anything more to tbck's assessment, although I do not agree with his modus operandi at times.

I profoundly disagree with Jan Markell, JD Farag, Amir Tsarfati and others regarding the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. {3} Their minds are closed to the scriptural proofs that Christians will go through the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:9-10). The pre-trib doctrine is based on false hope. This lethal error will cause many to stumble during the coming persecution and I fear for those who teach it. (Mark 9:42).

Prasch's Habit Of Misleading Others

Prasch states that he went to the same High School and Jewish Community Centre as “Bad Boy Barney” aka Barney Frank from Massachusetts. “We went to the same high school and to the same Jewish Community Centre”. Barney Frank was born in 1940 which him 81 years old.

Prasch: “So did Arthur Burns, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He went to the same school and the same Jewish Community Centre as I did as a kid.” Arthur Burns died at 73 years old in 1987 (1904-1987).

Prasch gives the distinct impression that he personally knew these two men! I am sure he has a get-out clause because he did not actually state categorically that he knew them personally, perhaps in the same way that he gave the strong impression that he was half Jewish without explicitly stating it.

 Rick Wiles - Replacement Theology

Towards the end of the video, a further Prasch rant ensued about Rick Wiles (Trunews) for his heretical anti-Israel stance. Prasch stated that many people in positions of world power are not Jews. Whilst this is true, his statement that Bill Gates and Donald Trump are not Jews is incorrect. (44:00 mark) I am sure that Prasch cannot be ignorant of the compelling evidence that both Gates and Trump are crypto Jews. (See Further Links).

AN APPEAL TO SANDY SIMPSON TO INVESTIGATE JACOB PRASCH

Dave Borlase and his attack on true Christians while teaching false teachings
By Sandy Simpson, 5/30/20
http://deceptioninthechurch.com/borlase.html

"There is a man by the name of Dave Borlase, head of 'Intercessors for Britain', son of the former director, who has joined a very small chorus in opposition to true Bible expositors such as Jacob Prasch. I will not even provide links to his pages because of the attack ads he has posted which are patently disgusting and libelous. He has joined a tiny group whose mindset I can only define as 'Prasch Derangement Syndrome' where they spend most of their time taking pot shots, not at false teachers, but at legitimate Christian apologists and expositors. Jacob Prasch is one of the smartest people I know and one of the most knowledgeable on the Bible. He speaks many languages and for many years has travelled the world preaching the Gospel and warning churches about false teachers.

Dave Borlase has added his voice to this miniscule group of malcontents instead of taking his concerns to the Lord in prayer as he purports to do in his organization.

He has been speaking recently about COVID and conspiracy theories. He says if we criticize the government then we are lending credibility to conspiracy theories and he bases this on his position on Titus 3.1-11. He has encouraged his congregation and IFB to support the government and download and encourage them to use the new contact and trace app. He continued to encourage acceptance of and use of any potential vaccine that is developed. He says this to continue his Titus 3 teaching that failure to accept the vaccine is rebellion against the Government and therefore GOD. He then adds insult to injury by praising Bill Gates and the work he has done to save the lives of children in poor and developing countries. He believes his agenda and financial investment is sincere and we should discourage any negative comments or conspiracy theories against him. He ignores Gate’s abortion and right to suicide support and his very public support of LGBT agendas. He also claims big Pharma and Tech companies only have your best interests at heart.

Naiveté!

Interestingly, Prasch, whom he berates, has also done a lot of good 'work to save the lives of children in poor and developing countries' through the orphanages and other mission efforts of Moriel around the world, without the baggage of supporting the mass killing of innocent babies and the support of the unbiblical LGBT agendas.

Borlase goes on, in his recent video, to claim that those who take the mark of the beast may at a later date repent and be saved as long as they never 'worshipped' the Antichrist. He claims to take the mark does not mean a person worships the beast. This idea has been proposed by other 5-point Calvinists but is roundly refuted by Scripture.

Rev. 14:9-10 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

There is no distinction given in these verses between those who worship the beast and those who take his mark. They are one in the same. As we know, every believer receives the seal or mark of the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22 Eph. 1:13, etc.) We also know that the Holy Spirit will seal the 144,000 in Israel during the Tribulation (Rev. 7:4) to distinguish between those sealed by the Antichrist (Rev. 19:20). The Bible says nothing about those who receive the mark of the beast being able to repent and become unmarked. In raising cattle the owner brands the cows that belong to him. God puts his mark on those who believe in Him and belong to Him. The Antichrist does the same. This teaching of being able to repent of the mark of the beast is false teaching, perhaps not on the level of teaching against one or more of the core doctrines, but false teaching nonetheless.

Jacob Prasch addressed this issue when John Macarthur taught this idea in his article 'A Final Response to Phil Johnson's Defense of John MacArthur's False Teaching That Worshipers of the Anti-Christ Taking the Mark of the Beast Can Be Saved'

The issue here is hermeneutics. A text, out of context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text.

The text of Revelation chapter 4: 9-11 does not address or relate to the issue of which sin is or is not forgivable; that diversion is alien to the context.

The point is that it is a prophetic prediction divinely decreed that states that those accepting the mark of the beast, worshiping the anti-christ and his image will not repent and has no direct relation to the moot question of a hypothetical possibility if or not they could be saved; the text predicts they will not be.

This is fully consistent with the thrust of The Book of Revelation's teaching on a post Parousia world where men will not repent even in the face of apocalyptic cataclysm (eg. Revelation 9:21). The notion that unregenerate people who are worshiping the Antichrist, and have taken his mark, can come to a saving faith in Jesus after the age of grace is closed, when God is again dealing with unbelieving Israel and the Jews (2/3 of whom, will perish), after The Holy Spirit is no longer restraining evil and the powers of Satan, nor is He convicting the lost of their sin, as per John 16:8, is nothing short of hideous.

How will Antichrist worshipers who have sold their soul in exchange for the mark be saved without the conviction of the Holy Spirit when the plain text of Revelation 9 states unambiguously that they won't?

For Borlase to attack Jacob Prasch and yet be teaching false ideas such as the above is the height of hypocrisy. Prasch has not taught false doctrines and, in fact, I would wager he knows his Bible and the original languages far better than Borlase and his merry band of conspiracy theorists. And if Borlase is concerned about rebelling against God, he had better look at himself and his bitter friends to see the damage they are doing to the cause of Christ in attacking one of His faithful servants."

Sandy Simpson has attracted some criticism for this article. However the things he says about Dave Borlase are correct in that Borlase does discourage Christians to criticize the government over the COVID issue based on Titus 3:1-11. Borlase does encourage people to use the new contact and trace app, he does encourage acceptance of any potential COVID vaccine and he does praise Bill Gates. I wrote a post about this myself not so long ago. {1} I would add that Intercessors For Britain are yoked together with the Anglican Church and are ecumenical to the core. Simpson omitted the link to Borlase's YouTube video where he states these things:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM021wNKfHg&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3_w8ppTWCSuZDnmvDdaoLmpT1LdWhIiFDU5NTwq3tcXWqC6xmHVb427a8

I should add that Borlase and Prasch were on the same page until last year when Borlase refused to join Prasch's supporters in criticizing David Nathan (Bread of Life Ministries). {2} This provoked Prasch to attack Borlase in the vicious manner that we are now all too familiar with. Despite Prasch's questionable motives, IFP have now been publicly exposed as a pseudo Christian organization.

I have admired Simpson's stand against false teachers in the past, and I agree with his assessment of the mark of the beast above. However, I find it upsetting that he will not look a little closer into Jacob Prasch's teaching. There are now a number of witnesses to Prasch's false teaching, and as such the onus in on Simpson to investigate. (1 Timothy 5:19; 1 John 4:1; Acts 17:11). I appeal to him now to do so rather than simply dismiss the allegations out of hand. I believe that Simpson is a better man than the sycophants presently surrounding Prasch. (Proverbs 29:25).

Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. (2 Corinthians 13:1 cf. Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15).
