Archangel Metatron

Metatron, The Highest of the Archangels. Metatron stands at the top of the angelic hierarchy in the Jewish mystical tradition. In the Sefer Hekhalot (3 Enoch), he is the angel who was once the patriarch Enoch himself — taken up at the threshold and transformed into the angel of the highest court. The scribe. The keeper of records. The voice that does not require intermediary.
