Archangel Metatron
Archangel Metatron is said to be the keeper of the Akashic
Records, which is also known as the "Book
of Life". He is unusual, though not unique,
in being described as having been a mortal human (Enoch) "promoted"
to the angelic realm. Archangel Metatron is said to be the
twin of Archangel Sandalphon
(previously the biblical human Elijah).
According to The Third Book of Enoch,
an ancient document thought to have been written in
the 2nd century AD and also known by other names, the
biblical character Enoch (son of Jared,
Genesis 5 v18) was transformed into the angel Metatron
audio extract.
" This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame,
his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning,
his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed
on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after
this heavenly transformation the name Metatron."

Archangel Metatron is fascinating, has been written about
for approaching 2000 years, and has been credited with a wide
range of roles, responsibilities and contributions to humanity.
For example, according to Rabbinic tradition and writings
Archangel Metatron is the most senior angel and serves as
a scribe. The influential German scholar and autority on Hebrew
and Semitic language, Johann Andreas Eisenmenger (1654-1704)
presented Metatron as transmitting daily "orders from
God" to other angels, and according to Samael Aun Weor
(1917-1977), a Mexican spiritual leader and founder of the
'Universal Christian Gnostic Movement' Archangel Metatron
brought provided humanity with the 22 Hebrew letters and the
original Tarot to humanity.
The name "Metatron" does not have the usual suffix
"el" meaning "in God" and so
is not as straighforward to translate or interpret as those
of most of the other archangels and many other angels. Another
exception to the general rule that the names of archangels
end in "-el" is Archangel
Sandalphon. Suggested meanings of the name "Metatron"
include "Angel of the Presence" and "Next to
the Throne of God".
