Angel of Metatron in Kabbalah Mishkan Hakavana

Metatron, in the book of Bereshit, is the spirit of Hanoch, one of the first ten generations before Noah. Hanoch, while still conscious, was taken to become an angel, symbolizing eternal service to divinity. This transformation reflects the shift in place and purpose, with Hanoch embodying concealed wisdom. As an angel, Metatron serves to help us draw closer to the Creator, allowing for a connection or "salute" with the divine.
The story of Metatron also ties into the concept of a ladder ("sulam" in Hebrew) and the idea of ascending and descending, symbolizing the movement of wisdom (chokhmah) in a way that serves a higher purpose. This ladder, like Sinai, reflects a spiritual journey from semi-conscious revelation (dreams and prophecy) to a fuller understanding that humanity was not initially able to receive. The Torah received on Yom Kippur, known as the Torah of Reformation, prepares us for the eventual receiving of the original Torah.
Metatron's role is to enable the presence of the Shechinah, the Holy Spirit, a form of prophecy. He serves divinity, moving through different roles, from Hanoch to Metatron, and finally to Avaya. This journey reflects the broader spiritual process of connecting with the Creator and finding a "home" in the divine realm. The idea of "homing" suggests focusing, like a missile, on the Creator, creating a condition for true devotion and opening the gate to deeper connection.
