Metatrone:The Angel of the Lord.

There are many angels of the Lord, but there is only one called “the Angel of the Lord,” HaMelach Adonai, with a definite article. The Rabbis identify this man as the Angel although he appears as a man. Repeatedly, angels have been known to take human form, such as at the tomb of Jesus where angels appeared as men. And in fact, fallen angels known as the Nephilim actually procreated with human beings as is recorded at the beginning of the book of Genesis and also sited in Jude, as well as in the Apocryphal book of Enoch.

The Angel of the Lord is an enfleshment of someone whom Jacob says has the face of God. In no way does that diminish the uniqueness of the Incarnation of Jesus in the womb of the virgin handmaiden that fulfilled the prophecies of Isaiah 7:14. God took on humanity and became a man such as we are, without sin, but in the likeness of sinful flesh. There was something very special and unique about the Incarnation of the subsequent nativity of Jesus. However, the Incarnation was not the first time God became a man, even though it was the first time He came via an embryonic conception. There have been other enfleshments of God in the Old Testament.

The Metatrone is the only one in whose name he will answer our prayers.

The Metatrone is the only one to whom God has committed the future of Israel into his hands.

The Metatrone is the only agent of God’s salvation.

My dear Jewish friends, if you are reading this, the Metatrone is the Messiah; the Metatrone is God who became a man. The Metatrone is the only one who can give you salvation. The Metatrone is the only one who can bring you to the Jerusalem above that your rabbis teach you about. The Metatrone is the only one, the only way, the only future you have.
