"In a number of traditional sources, Metatron is said to have been the prophet Enoch, who was taken up to Heaven and transformed into an angel of fire, with thirty-six pairs of wings, to continue his days as a celestial scribe. Metatron has also been id entified as the Liberating Angel and the one who wrestled with Jacob; the one who stayed Abraham's hand from sacrificing his son Isaac; and the one who led the Hebrews through the forty years in the wilderness. In certain schools of mysticism, Metatron, said to be the tallest of all the heavenly beings, became known as Lesser YHWH. In Hebrew, the letters 'LHWH' stand for the most sacred and unpronounceable name of God."
"As God has many names, so, too, Metatron was thought to have many names, the use of which was believed to offer the user protection and access to this great angel's powers. Yahoel, Yofiel, Surya, and Lad are just a few of his other names."
^Sitting beside God, Metatron, the throne angel with 72 names, records Israel's good and bad deeds. One mystic said Metatron carries Jewish prayers up through 900 heavens to God.^
[ Metatron is Head of the Sirian Central Sun Council ]
MORONI: [Giver of the Book of Mormon!]
"Moroni is the angel of the Latter-day Saints. While there seems
to be a dearth of indigenous American angels, in 1823 Moroni appeared
to Joseph Smith in upstate New York and led him to discover buried
golden tablets inscribed with dense lettering. Whe n translated by
Smith, again with Moroni's help, this text became the Book of Mormon,
which tells us that in about 600 b.c., prior to the destruction of
Jerusalem, a Jewish family fled the city and made its way by ship to
what is now North America. Their descendants became two nations -- one
the ancestors of the Native Americans, the other lost and gone.
However, records kept by one of the elders of that vanished people
tell that Jesus appeared to them after His death on the cross. The
elder's name was Mormon, and it was his son Moroni who buried the
tablets his father had kept, in about 400 a.d. According to the story,
Moroni thus joins the ranks of Enoch and Elijah who were transformed
into angels, and follows in the tradition of Gabriel in being th e
angelic giver of a book of revelation."
"There is a forty-foot-high statue of Moroni that stands on top of
a hill near Palmyra, New York, where Smith discovered the buried
tablets. The angel is shown as it appeared to Smith, without wings and
clothed in a long robe. Smith, who went on to fou nd the Church of
Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, described Moroni as a "being of
light with a face like lightning."
MELCHIZEDEK: [Lived and taught 2000 years before the Christ!]
"Melchizedek, the Sage of Salem, is another of the few known cases
of a high angel taking a human, very male, body. According to The
Urantia Book, he appeared fully formed, some two thousand years before
Christ, announcing that he was a servant of El El yon, the Most High.
He then set up a teaching center over which he personally presided for
ninety-four years."
"It was Melchizedek who delivered God's Covenant to Abraham and introduced the revolutionary concept of salvation through pure faith to the thinking of the planet. He established an extraordinary wide-flung missionary program, centered in Salem, the anc ient site of Jerusalem, sending out thousands of missionaries who literally circled the globe."
"Called Sydik in Phoenician mythology, Melchizedek was believed to be the father of the seven Elohim -- more Angels of the Divine Presence. In the third century a.d. a group of 'heretics', calling themselves Melchizedans, claimed to be in touch with 'a great power named Melchizedek, who was greater than Christ'. His sojourn here as the Sage of Salem was said to have been a concerted effort on behalf of the celestials to bring some much-needed light to a dark and chaotic time, and to set the seeds for t he coming of the Christ."
From the Book of Alma 13:14-18, within the Book of Mormon, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: *14-Yea, humble yourselves even as the people in the days of Melchizedek, who was also a high priest after this same order which I have spoken , who also took upon him the high priesthood forever. 15-And it was this same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes; yea, even our father Abraham paid tithes of one-tenth part of all he possessed. 16-Now these ordinance were given after this manner, t hat thereby the people might look forward on the Son of God, it being a type of his order, or it being his order, and this that they might look forward to him for remission of their sins, that they might enter into the rest of the Lord. 17-Now this Melch izedek was a king over the land of Salem; and his people had waxed strong in iniquity and abomination; yea, they had all gone astray; they were full of all manner of wickedness; 18-But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the high offi ce of priesthood according to the holy order of God, did preach the repentance unto his people. And behold they did repent; and Melchizedek did establish peace in the land in his days; therefore he was called the prince of peace, for he was the king of Sale m; and he did reign under his father.*
