Who is the most powerful archangel of all? Does anyone know the answer? Or is it conflicted? the Jews think it's Metatron. And christians and Catholics think it's Michael. Is there really a definate answer to this?
I've read Heavenly Scribe and/or the official Voice of God.
H'mmm...maybe not for humans (the kid would never find a key ring or mug with his name on it -- although lately, all kinds of names are being pulled out of hats). Also, "Metatron" means something like, "behind the throne" of God, whilst (yeah, this is the thread for using that word) "Michael" means, "who resembles God." I think Michael has a cooler meaning (even better than "Kal-El," which actually does resemble the Hebrew words, "voice of God").
Seriously, I'm wondering if they were even aware of the name. "Mega" has been a trendy prefix for a while now, whilst ... ... "tron" is good for anything electronic.

Considering all I know about Metatron I learned from "Dogma," I gotta go with Michael. I don't think he's an archangel, that'd be Gabriel, but he's warrior angel? Now I'm stepping in stuff that I learned a great deal about by watching "Supernatural."
Analogy : Sauron, Sauron's Mouth, The Witch King.
Witch King's way more powerful, he's in the army. Mouth of Sauron just speaks for Sauron. I'm sure he could do more if it were up to him, but he's on Sauron's leash.
Best religion thread ever.

He is an Archangel. I don't know the exact number of them, but I know Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel are among them.
Also I seem to recall seeing a heirarchy where Archangels weren't at the top of the chain of command, it went Seraphim, Cherubim, Archangels, and Angels.

The thing about Metatron is that he surprised Rabbi Akiva (who, in some Kabbalah circles, was considered more enlightened than Moses). Akiva had a vision, saw two beings seated among the heavenly hosts, and questioned that maybe there was not one, but two Great Divine Powers (this perhaps being the greatest blasphemy a Jew could utter).
Metatron set him straight. "Naw, mortal dude, I'm just writin' stuff down."
On the other hand, whilst Metatron gets a stylus, Michael gets a sword.

People call on Michael for protection and Metatron for answers and communication then? Though I've known people that also say that Metatron is above Michael. I don't understand why because Michael is the warrior.
He seems to be the "In" guy now. Maybe it's the cool name. lol
