Metatron's name, whose origins and
meaning are still debated, but the word looks
Greek, Meta+Tron meaning Beyond+Matrix, the
name may also have something to do with God's
throne, or his proximity to it.
Metatron was once the patriarch Enoch, and as the Jewish legend relates, that while Enoch was still a mortal, living during a time of great sins, around the flood, he ascended into Heaven, two angels took him on their wings, and showed him all the Heavens and their inhabitants. Sitting next to God, Enoch was instructed in wisdom, and using his skills as a scribe, prepared three hundred and sixty-six books, and as he had led a pious and religious life he was chosen by God to be the writer of truth, and was transformed into a fiery angel (Seraphim) with thirty-six wings and countless eyes.
