Enoch’s Walk with God Ends Badly in Babylonia

In Genesis, Enoch is said to have walked with God and ultimately to have been “taken” by him. Second Temple mystical traditions identify him as the angel Metatron, who sits on his own celestial throne and is referred to as the “lesser YHWH.” This tradition can be better understood in light of a similar Zoroastrian tale regarding an ancient king named Yima.
