The Metatron in Good Omens

ARCHANGEL METATRON WATCH: Who The Metatron Is In Good Omens – The Voice Of God Explained. Is The Metatron in the Bible? Good Omens season 2 brings back Derek Jacobi as The Metatron, an important figure known as the Voice of God (Emma Wagner, Screen Rant).

As far as it goes, this article gives an accurate account of the Talmudic background of the Metatron tradition. But, surprisingly, it does not mention the book of 3 Enoch.

Jacobi gives an entertaining performance, but the Metatron of Good Omens has very little to do with the traditional Metatron.

That said, I quite enjoyed Good Omens. All of it was good. The episode retelling the Book of Job is a small masterpiece.
