They should have cut Mark Walhberg and his family and turned this movie into a buddy comedy with TJ Miller and Stanley Tucci as the leads.

Metatron is a hilarious word - essentially meaning 'instrument of everything' (might be getting this wrong, if so please let me know). Metatron is literally the voice of the Universe - Old Testament philosophy interprets this to mean the voice of God himself. It all depends on whether you view 'God' as some absolute being who must be obeyed, or as some sort of underlying moral calling.
I need to go back and read the entire bible some time, and all of its apocrypha. This poo poo's fascinating. Thanks, Transformers!

There basically is no consensus on Metatron's definite meaning. Some people think it means "a lesser YHWH", others say "to keep watch or protect", and even "one who sits behind the throne."

Granted I'm beyond rusty on Talmudic history so you should take what I say with a grain of salt
