"Metatron is a figure you won’t find in the Bible or in Eastern Orthodox teaching — he comes mainly from Jewish mystical tradition (Kabbalah and some earlier rabbinic writings).
Here’s the breakdown:
Origins: The earliest references to Metatron appear in post-biblical Jewish literature, especially the Talmud and Merkabah mysticism (around 3rd–7th centuries).
Role: In those writings, he is often described as a high-ranking angel or even the scribe of heaven, recording the deeds of humanity.
Unique aspect: Some mystical texts claim Metatron is actually the transformed patriarch Enoch (from Genesis 5:24), taken to heaven and given a position of great authority — almost as God’s “right-hand angel.”
In Kabbalah: He’s associated with the highest of the ten sefirot (divine attributes), called Keter or sometimes Chokhmah, and seen as a bridge between God and creation.
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, however, Metatron has no place in theology.
Orthodoxy teaches that Enoch was taken by God, but he remains a holy man awaiting the resurrection — he did not become an angel or Metatron. The Church generally views the later Jewish mystical stories about him as non-biblical legends."
