Role in religious texts
The Zohar, the sacred book of the mystical branch of Judaism called Kabbalah, describes Metatron as "the king of angels" and states that "he rules the tree of knowledge of good and evil" (Zohar 49, Ki Tetze: 28: 138 ). The Zohar also mentions that the prophet Enoch turned into the archangel Metatron in heaven (Zohar 43, Balak 6:86).

In the Torah and in the Bible, the prophet Enoch lives an extraordinarily long life and is then brought to heaven without dying, as most humans do: “All the days of Enoch were 365 years. Enoch walked with God and was no longer, because God had taken him "(Genesis 5: 23-24). The Zohar reveals that God decided to allow Enoch to continue his earthly ministry forever in heaven, describing in Zohar Bereshit 51: 474 that, on Earth, Enoch was working on a book that contained "the inner secrets of wisdom" and then “He was taken from this Earth to become a heavenly angel. "Zohar Bereshit 51: 475 reveals:" All supernal secrets were handed over to him and he, in turn, handed them over to those who deserved them. Thus, he fulfilled the mission that the Saint, blessed be he, assigned him. A thousand keys have been delivered into his hands and he takes one hundred blessings every day and creates unifications for his Master. The Saint,

The text [from Genesis 5] refers to this when it says: 'And it was not; because Elohim [God] took it. "

The Talmud mentions in Hagiga 15a that God allowed Metatron to sit in his presence (which is unusual because others arose in the presence of God to express their reverence for him) because Metatron constantly writes: "... Metatron, to whom permission has been given to sit down and write the merits of Israel. "

Other religious roles
Metatron is the patron angel of children because the Zohar identifies him as the angel who guided the Jewish people through the desert during the 40 years spent traveling in the Promised Land.

Sometimes Jewish believers mention Metatron as an angel of death who helps escort people's souls from Earth to the afterlife.

In sacred geometry, the Metatron cube is the form that represents all the forms in the creation of God and the work of Metatron that directs the flow of creative energy in an orderly way.
