Metatron

Metatron ( Hebrew מטטרון or מיטטרון) is the name of an angel in Judaism and some branches of Christianity and Islam . There are no references to him in the Jewish Tanakh ( Old Testament ) or Christian Scriptures ( New Testament ). Although he is mentioned in a few brief passages in the Talmud , Metatron appears primarily in medieval Jewish mystical texts and other post-scriptural esoteric and occult sources. In Rabbinic tradition, he is the highest of the angels and serves as the celestial scribe, though there is no consensus as to his genesis, nor is there a Christian consensus on his position in the hierarchy of angels or existence. Some sources claim that it was Metatron who prevented Abraham from sacrificing Isaac .
