Metatron

Has anyone studied the concept or usage of the (angelic) term Metatron? If so, thoughts?

Hmmm...very interesting what the Rabbis came up with in their Talmudic writings at times. One almost wonders if they were wrestling with the idea of the Son of God.

That is my take on it as well, Rich.

Sorry for being frivolous here, but am I the only one who looked at this title and at first glance thought Megatron instead of metatron?

Yep! Even the Wikipedia article at the top says "Not to be confused with Megatron."
