The Books of Enoch

by Joseph B. Lumpkin

(4) In that moment Akatriel Ya Yehod Sebaoth (a name of the most high) spoke and said to Metatron, the Prince of the Presence and said, “Let no prayer that he prays before me return to him empty (not done). Hear his prayer and fulfill his desire whether it is great or small (5) Then Metatron, the Prince of the presence, said to Moses, “Son of Amram! Do not be afraid. God delights in you. He asks you what you desire from the Glory and Majesty. Your face shines from one end of the world to the other.” But Moses answered him: “I fear that I should bring guiltiness upon myself.” Metatron said to him, “Receive the letters of the oath, which makes a covenant that cannot be broken.” Metatron is moving through time to and from the time of Moses. The letters make up the divine names, which are eternal.
