more information English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatron Metatron (alternate spelling: Metraton, sometimes referred to as the Latin Metator) is the name of an angel in Judaism and some branches of Christianity . However, there are no references to him in the Jewish Tanakh ( Old Testament ) or the Christian Scriptures ( New Testament ) and there is no consensus as to his genesis or the role that he plays in the hierarchy of Heaven and Hell . A mysterious figure, Metatron is identified with the term, "lesser YHVH" in a Talmudic version read by the Karaite scholar Kirkisani. Interestingly, the word 'Metatron' is numerically equivalent to Shaddai according to Hebrew gematria, therefore he is said to have a "Name like his Master". The Talmud also records an incident with Elisha ben Abuya, also called Aher ("another"), who is said to have entered Paradise, and saw Metatron sitting down (an action in heaven that is permissible only to God Himself). Elisha ben Abuya therefore looked to Metatron as a Deity, and is reported to have said, "There are indeed two powers in heaven!" The rabbis explain that Metatron was allowed to sit because of his function as the Heavenly Scribe, writing down the deeds of Israel. According to one school of thought, Enoch was taken by God and transformed into Metatron. However, this viewpoint is not shared by many Talmudic authorities. There also seem to be two Metatrons, one spelled with six letters, and one spelled with seven. The former may be the transformed Enoch, while the latter is the Primordial Metatron. The Zohar calls Metatron "the Youth", identifies him as the angel that led the people of Israel through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt , and describes him as a heavenly priest. Metatron is also mentioned in the Pseudepigrapha , most prominently in the Hebrew Book of Enoch (also called 3rd Enoch), in which his grand title, "the lesser YHVH" resurfaces. According to Johann Eisenmenger , Metatron transmits the daily orders of God to the angels Gabriel and Sammael . Metatron is often identified as being the twin brother to Sandalphon , who is said to have been the prophet Elijah .
			more information Deutsch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatron Metatron ist ein hochrangiger Engel in der jüdischen und christlichen Mythologie , der aber in den jeweiligen heiligen Büchern (der Tora und der Bibel ) nicht erwähnt wird. Bestimmte religiöse Schulen betrachten ihn als den von Gott in den Status eines Seraphim erhobenen Gelehrten Henoch . Er wurde zum höchstrangigen Mitglied in der himmlischen Hierarchie nach dem Schöpfer und seinem Sohn Jesus Christus , zum "Statthalter des Himmels" und "König der Engel". Die Sohar bezeichnet Metatron als jenen Engel, der das Volk Israel während des Exodus aus Ägypten durch die Wildnis führte. Er übermittelt den Willen des Schöpfers an Propheten und andere Engel sowie Dämonen, darunter Gabriel und Sammael .
