After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Jared lived a total of years, and then he died. When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived a total of years.
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Hebrews gives slightly more information:. According to orthodox Christianity, not if he was first the human Enoch. Humans and angels are entirely different beings, and humans do not become angels. One of the first is the claim of Metatron as a mediator or priest between Israel and God. There is only one who can fill this role, and the Bible specifically states that that person is Jesus 1 Timothy Jesus intercedes for us as a high priest Hebrews , and placing anyone else, human or angel, in that role is a dangerous deviation.
The Bible states multiple times that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father Hebrews This again seems to be putting Metatron in the place of Jesus. At every turn, it seems that Metatron is usurping a role belonging to God.
Belief in a being that detracts from the roles and honor due to God is no light matter. Just as concerning as the biblical inaccuracy of the legends is the bulk of New Age and occult information about Metatron, including how to summon him, feel him, and call upon his power.

My previous observations about the celestial titles of the Enoch showed that these descriptions are situated in chs.
In chs. The text makes clear that during this visit Enoch is already an angelic being. Since the time when the Lord anointed me with the ointment of my glory, it has been horrible for me, and food is not agreeable to me, and I have no desire for earthly food. It is possible that in this part of the book we have some remnants of developed Metatron tradition.
Chapters differ slightly from chs. First, later chapters give an important description of Enoch as Governor Prince of the world, a role which in late Merkabah literature usually is connected with Metatron tradition. Second, an important aspect of the passage of chs. There is no other Slavonic text where the word prometaya is documented. Third, at the beginning of this textual block ch. Later, in ch. This unlimited horizon of functions and deeds of Enoch is not consistent with the previous narrative of chs.
It is apparent that we have two different traditions which sometimes demonstrate the lack of linkage and reconciliation.
As I have already mentioned, the most impressive alignments between 2 Enoch and Merkabah tradition are dependent upon developing the themes connected with the Celestial Titles of Enoch Metatron. They give new evidence that the Metatron tradition has deep connections with early Enochic literature. Because of the two distinct names, it appears that the two traditions are not linked.
Something seems to be missing between these two great theological streams. One of the links may be found in the indissoluble continuity of the titles of this main character, which are common to both traditions. The titles, like the developed images of the Heavenly roles of Enoch Metatron , help us to see the transparent theological development which lies beneath the hidden meanings of these enigmatic names.
