Description

There is no consensus about its genesis or the role that represents the hierarchy of heaven and hell. In Talmudic version read by the Karaite scholar Kirkisani, Metatron is a mysterious figure called "lesser YHWH." Interestingly, the Hebrew word Metatron is numerically equivalent to Shaddai, according to Hebrew gematria, so it is said to have a 'name as his master. " The Talmud also records an incident with Elisha ben Abuja, also called Aher ("other"), who was said to have entered Paradise and saw Metatron sitting (a position in heaven but are allowed to Yahweh himself .) So Elisha ben Abuja Metatron was considered a deity, and said: "There are really two powers in heaven." The rabbis explain that Metatron was allowed to sit because of its role as a type of heaven, which records all the events in Israel.According to Jewish doctrine, Enoch was taken by Yahweh and transformed into Metatron. However, this opinion is not shared by many Talmudic authorities. It also seems that there are two Metatron, one of seven letters and a six. The first would be the primary and second Metatron Enoch. The Zohar calls Metatron "the Younger", and identified him as the angel who led the people of Israel in the desert after the exodus from Egypt, and describes it as a heavenly priest. Metatron is also mentioned in the Seudoep grafos, mainly in the Hebrew Book of Enoch (also called the Third Enoch), which returns the title as "the lesser YHWH." According to Johann Eisenmenger, Metatron transmits the daily orders of Yahweh to the angels Gabriel and Raphael. Sometimes it is identified as Metatron's twin brother Sandalphon, who says he was the prophet Elijah.According to the writer Robert Graves, the term would be a corruption Metatron Greek Hebrew metradromos ("he who pursues with a vengeance ') or meta ton thron n (' closer to the throne ').
