The Angels of Life and Death

---

Archangel Metatron is witness not only for the good things we do, but also to the things happening in the Heaven. He records all the happenings in heaven, in the Book of Life. Archangel Metatron was a wise man ones. He was a human being like us. Seeing how wise, devoted and virtuous he was, God took him up to heaven. Archangel Metatron is the spiritual brother of Archangel Sandalphon. They were both humans on Earth. Metatron lived on Earth as Enoch and Sandalphon as Elijah.

They are often told to be the twin archangels. When invoked, Metatron appears as a pillar of fire. God gives him the list of souls that should be taken that day. Metatron gives that list further to Archangel Gabriel and Archangel Samael. One of maybe the most important responsibilities of Metatron in Heaven is written down in The Talmud.

The Torah and Bible say that Enoch lived years. He is taken up to heaven at that age, without dying. He was promised by God, to continue his earthly ministry in heaven forever. This way he becomes Metatron, the guardian and writer of the Book of Life. In other scriptures he is mentioned as the guardian angel of children.

It is believed that Metatron was the angel who was leading the Hebrew people through the wilderness after 40 years of traveling. According to several non-canonical writings, Metatron is the most powerful angel. In the heavenly hierarchy he is the first and the last angel.

You can find him under names such as: Sustaining humankind being one of his main duties. Although most sources claim that Metatron was Enoch in his earthly incarnation. Archangel Metatron was originally Michael. Metatron appears numerous times in the Bible. But he is identified as certain characters from The Bible. Althoguh this role is given to many other angels.

Metatron has some very powerful documents in his Heavenly archives. There is a beautiful legend about Elohim and Edem. You can find it in the Alphabet of Ben Sira.

The story says that at their marriage, God Elohim demanded from Earth Edem a loan. When Earth agrees, God writs a receipt. There were only two witnesses to the event, Michael and Gabriel. Archangel Metatron is often associated with the Logos.

‘No white lights or angels’, THIS is what happens when you die

Logos is the creation. Others associate him with Archangel Uriel. And even with the fallen angel Sammael.

Metatron is also present in numerous occult texts. Which sustain that he is the twin-brother of Archangel Sandalphom. This tale is even in the Zoroastrian lore. We never have grief over things such as this! However, when one remembers death, he realizes that everyone's eventual outcome is the same - death - and that thing whose eventual outcome is death should have absolutely no grief attached to it!

We must study the last days of those who came before us. Sometimes when we pass by the alleys and walk through the markets, we see weak, old men and old women walking with a cane. Some are on their own walking with great difficulty; others are holding on to someone and walking around. This will also be our eventual end! There was once a time when these people were young and full of energy, however look at them now and see how they are - see what the new day has brought them!

When I first moved to Qum, I remember seeing one of the great scholars of Yazd who had migrated here. Even in those days, he was a very well known scholar of the hawzah.

Just recently, I met him again in one of the alleyways in Qum and asked him how he was doing. I am stuck between this world and the next. My intellectual capacity is drained and it is even difficult for me to move on my own. I am waiting for death to come and take me away!

Of course, he was not always like this, and truthfully, this sort of an outcome is not limited to this individual! Rather death is as a beast, lying in wait at the door of every house.

Archangel Metatron

There are some people who die in their old age; others leave this world in their youth, however it is through remembering death that a person can become spiritually trained. If there was no death, then it would be very difficult to live. In these few days that we live in the transient world, we see what kinds of tumult and clamour people raise! Imagine if a person was to live for eternity, what state this world would be in?!! The Prophet of Allah rose his hands up in supplication and after his prayer, his entire body turned black as if he had been burnt!

I died 90 years ago and still the bitterness of the experience of death has not left me! Therefore you who are still alive, do not fall into a state of negligence and keep aware of the permissible and the impermissible; know the truth and the falsehood since at this point when you are dead , having grief over these things will be of no benefit to you!

Work day and night for your next life and prepare your supplies for the next life since no one will come after you to give these things to you. You should know that all of you shall taste the drink of death. How were your actions while in this world?
