Who is the archangel Metatron?

It is believed that this angel is in charge of mediating between God and man. It has control and accesses the knowledge of the wisdom of the entire history of the universe, which is why it has the ability to carry out the plans established by God. In fact, it is considered the representation of the Divine presence on earth.

According to rabbinic traditions, Metatron is the highest among the angels, being only below Yahveh. He holds the position of "celestial scribe." Sometimes he identifies himself as an angel and in others as an archangel, this because he has always been subjected to ambiguous interpretations loaded with duality that can even be contradictory.

Meaning of his name «Metatron»

His name has several interpretations. It is said to mean: "the one who shares, guards or sits behind the throne of God."

On the other hand, the name of Metatron is found written in ancient books in two different ways, one has 6 letters and the other 7. This has led the interpreters to consider the possibility that they are two different characters. The first may be a reference to the patriarch Enoch after making his transformation into an angel upon reaching heaven; and the second of 7 letters, can refer to the true Metatron, the angel who radiates the emanation of God.

Other writers like Robert Graves, affirm that the word Metatron is a Hebrew corruption of the Greek term "metradromos" that means: one who persecutes with revenge. Although they also relate it to "meta ton thronón" which is interpreted as: adjacent to the throne.

His body also has 365 thousand eyes. This curious description is a reference to his great scope, due to his position as a scribe of heaven that allows him to know the cosmic secrets for which, he has a clairvoyance that can see in all senses of time: past, present and future, enjoying of infinite wisdom.

Are the prophet Enoch and the archangel Metatron the same divinity?

Let us understand that Enoch was an outstanding ancient character. Known as Noah's great-grandfather. From the beginning in Enoch's life there was a strong connection with respect to the kingdom of heaven. Originally he had visions in which he identifies the cherubs as beings of fire; in other visions it is said that he interceded before God on behalf of the fallen angels; in one of his most relevant visions he visualizes the tree of wisdom.

The most shocking thing about Enoch is that according to the Torah and biblical writings, after a long life he was taken to heaven by the archangel Michael, without going through the process of physical death. It is from that moment that it is considered that his transformation occurs that turns him into the angel Metatron.

In the texts of the Zohar Bereshit it is stated that during Enoch's stay on Earth, he dedicated himself to writing a text that kept the secrets of wisdom. Upon being taken to heaven, God authorized him to continue with that work from there, so that all supernatural knowledge was granted to him, and he, already being Metatron, obtained the power to share his Divine wisdom with the beings under his consideration.

It should be noted that the Book of Enoch was excluded from the formal canon of Judaism, and it is not accepted in Christian scriptures either. Even so, his texts describe the transformation of Enoch into the archangel Metatron.

However, these interpretations have two perspectives and it is here that the controversy over the nature of this archangel arises. An identity of Metatron relates him as we have already explained with Enoch transformed into an archangel, after his multiple visits to heaven; But, another description of Metatron identifies him as the first being of creation, who "is seated to the left of the father." Here the analyzes are much more complicated, since, according to tradition, that position was occupied by Lucifer "the morning star." These are the reasons why their identity can generate controversy, depending on the line that is followed with respect to their essence. Either way, it is an entity charged with great mysticism.

The archangel Metatron in religious books

In rabbinic practices, he is also considered the most important of all angels. In the traditions of medieval mystical Judaism Metatron has great relevance. He is named in the Talmud as "lesser YHWH" because God allows him to sit, which is a position that only corresponds to Yahweh. However, the rabbis state that he enjoys such high benefit because of his work as a heavenly scribe.

In fact, in one of the oldest books of Judaism known as "the Septuagint Bible," mention is made of a lofty archangel who was given the power to sit on a throne in heaven by God.

In the practices of Christology, he is called "the angel of Jehovah" considered even as an image of the pre-incarnate Messiah.

In the texts associated with the Kabbalah (The Zohar) his name is interpreted as: "the Young One." He is credited with being the guide of the people of Israel in the desert after the exodus from Egypt. He is called "the king of angels" in the kingdom of heaven, he transmits the orders issued daily by Yahweh to the archangels Raphael and Gabriel. It is also said that he rules over the tree of wisdom or tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
