He is the greatest of all the Heavenly hierarchs, highest power of abundance, Chancellor of heaven, King of the Angels.  He is the twin brother of the angel Sandalphon and is the tallest angel in Heaven.  Metatron is the Supreme angel of death and the teacher of prematurely dead children in paradise.

The meaning of his name has never been satisfactorily explained although one interpretation of it is "one who occupies the throne next to the Divine throne."  It could also be derived from the Latin 'metator', a guide or measurer.  Metatron is also known by many other names: Yahoel, Yofiel, Surya, and Lad amongst others.

In a number of traditional sources, Metatron is said to have been the prophet Enoch, who was taken up to Heaven and transformed into an angel of fire, with thirty-six pairs of wings, to continue his days as a celestial scribe.  Metatron has also been identified as the Liberating Angel and the one who wrestled with Jacob; the one who stayed Abraham's hand from sacrificing his son Isaac; and the one who led the Hebrews through the forty years in the wilderness.  In certain schools of mysticism, Metatron, said to be the tallest of all the heavenly beings (13 to 18 feet), became known as Lesser YHWH.  In Hebrew, the letters 'YHWH' stand for the most sacred and unpronounceable name of God.

Metatron is charged with the sustenance of mankind.  He has been known as the link between the human and the divine.
