Metatron is a really interesting character. So Metatron, by some, he's considered the most powerful of the archangels, and to some he's not really part of the pantheon. So let's talk a little bit about that.

Metatron's name actually means “one who guards.” So he's considered to be sitting beside the Throne of God, and from a Christian perspective that sometimes throws people for a loop, because they're like, “Well, Jesus is the right hand of the Father,” for instance. Well, it just says beside. It doesn't necessarily say right hand, right? So he's also thought of as the angel of life and the king of the angels, and he has a lot of different names.

…

Usually in art we'll see Metatron, and we'll know that that angel is Metatron because he's depicted as guarding the Tree of Life. And his colors, usually, that people connect to Metatron are green, pink stripes, which is kind of cool, and blue. Again, colors, hues, there's lots of different ways we can experience those angelic colors.

Metatron guards the Tree of Life, and he writes down, supposedly, the good deeds of people on Earth, as well as what happens in heaven. So he's a record keeper, and he writes everything down in what is called the Book of Life, which is also called the akashic records.

So in non-canonical writing, so writings that aren't considered mainstream sacred scriptures, all the juicy good ones, Metatron is considered to be one of the greatest of all of the heavenly hierarchies. He's the first as also the last of the 10 archangels, and he's traditionally considered to be the spiritual twin or half brother of the archangel Sandalphon. And both were humans on Earth, Sandalphon and Metatron, before they ascended into the heavenly realms. They're the only two that are connected with both humanity directly and then in ascending into the angelic space. Metatron is said to have lived as a prophet, Enoch, and Sandalphon the prophet Elijah.

Now, the Jewish mystical texts assert that Metatron is the link between human and the Divine. The Zohar, which is the holy book in a mystical branch of Judaism called the Kabbalah, describes Metatron as the king of the angels and says he rules over the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. So that's Zohar. Zohar also mentions that the prophet Enoch had turned into Archangel Metatron in heaven. So they say that Enoch went from Earth into heaven and then became Metatron, so the ascension happened in the celestial place. In both the Torah and the Bible, the prophet Enoch lives an extraordinarily long life and then is taken up into heaven without dying. In the Torah it says that all of Enoch's days were 365 years. He walked with God and was no more, because God, actually it says because the Elohim had taken him, but that's a side topic.
