I really interested in knowing what other believers feel about my topic. Does Jesus sit on the actual right hand of God?

Isaiah 66:1. Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Let's read on, please.

Psalm110:1 "The Lord said to my Lord, "sit at my right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."

Sounds pre tense of things to come which were fulfilled in Luke.

Luke22:69 "Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God."

Jesus fulfilling the promise that was spoken through David in the psalm written above.

Now, in the verse of Isaiah 66:1 there is no mention of the lord, meaning Christ on the throne. In the psalms 110:1 David spoke of two lords, yet Isaiah only one. I'm sure the lord Isaiah was referring to was God. Yet the psalms were in existence before the passages of Isaiah

Stephen declares before his death.
Acts7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man STANDING on the right hand of God.

How is this possible?

I'm not trying to be controversial. I am various to know others opinions on this. I find it more intriguing than anything.

They are obviously speaking in a language of knowledge and understanding of a world
to which is unknown to all those other than their own.

I believe that Jesus being pictured sitting at the right hand of God speaks of His divine glory and authority....and that His work for the restoration of all things is finished.

I find it impossible that you are asking about the literal position of his body on a chair..... so, read the post above this one.

I understand the divine authority and what that represents, being on the right hand. I get it and appreciate the comments.

Of course only those in the spirit of revelation could fully know.

This is more a thought of mind.

our Intercessor, Jesus Christ, lives His life to inter-cede for us after our conversion to The Father
when we Repent of our sins against Him, when we dis-obey His Holy Commandments....,
this is where we may acquire and find true peace for the sorrow and shame we experience:
through repentance for dis-honoring the Sacrifice of our Saviour's sacrifice.

































He has blessed us
with His Holy Blood, If we respect and obey Him in the Holiness that He has shared with us
through our repentance for our Love for Him, we become members of His Holy Body...

From what I see in scripture and have been taught Jesus is not seated yet. He still is our high priest and mediator, although he is the king of kings he remains an advocate to the father. Untill all things are passed from this earth.
Spiritually they have but our time yet to come.

ROM. 8:34.
Who is He that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Stephen was just about to go to his death. For him to see Jesus STANDING in that moment is significant, because Jesus was to be seated until all his enemies were made his footstool.

1 Corinthians 15:25-27
"25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet.”.."

Jesus STANDING was a declaration to Stephen that the enemies of Christ were defeated- the last enemy is death.

So by Christ STANDING, Stephen went to his death under the declaration that death had been defeated. Pretty awesome.

Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,a visible image of the invisible God,the only way we can see the invisible God,and Jesus is our visible relationship to God for eternity,and the Holy Spirit is our invisible relationship to God.

Jesus told the disciples,if you have seen Me,then you have seen the Father,and He is the express image of God,and God with us.

The Bible says that God was manifest in flesh,seen of angels,for not even angels can see God,unless He chooses to show them a visible image of Himself.

If Jesus is an image of God,and said if you have seen Me,then you have seen the Father,then if Jesus sits on a throne next to the Father,why would God sit next to God,when we only need to see one visible image of God.

The Bible says there is only one throne in heaven,and one who sits on that throne,and it is the throne of both God and the Lamb,God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.

There is only one throne in heaven,and one who sits on that throne,who is Jesus,who was God manifest in the flesh,and now God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.

Jesus is the only person we will see in heaven,who is the visible image,of the invisible God.

The Bible says there is one God,and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus.

The man Christ Jesus is our Savior,for only a sinless man can reconcile mankind to God,and be the mediator between God and men.

No man is sinless,so God manifest Himself in flesh,and reconciled mankind to Himself in the person of Jesus Christ,God and man in harmony.

Jesus said all power is given to Him,in heaven and earth.

King David said,the LORD said unto my Lord,sit at My right hand,until I make your enemies your footstool.

The Bible says the Son must reign,until all His enemies are conquered,and then the Son shall submit to the Father,that God may be all in all.

So the Son being at the right hand of God is only a temporary role,until His enemies are conquered,and when His enemies are conquered,then the Son shall submit to the Father,that God may be all in all,in other words,Jesus will not be at the right hand of God,and the saints do not have to recognize the Son as the mediator anymore,and will not have to go through the Son to have a relationship with God,for they are with God now,and God will be all in all.

Jesus will not be at the right hand of God according to His humanity,but as God He always rules.

Since the man Christ Jesus is our Savior,and mediator,He must reign until His enemies are conquered,and we are united with God,when the saints are resurrected,and all God's children are with Him.

Which means God exalted the man Christ Jesus to sit at His right hand,which means exercise the throne of power,until His role as mediator is finished,when all the saints are united with Him,and when all the saints are with God,then the Son no longer needs to exercise the throne of power,and will stop being at the right hand of God,and God will be all in all.

But Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,so God is still in charge,and ruling,but He is ruling through the man Christ Jesus,for the sake of the saints,although He rules as God over everyone.

It could be that when Stephen said that He saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God,that He saw Jesus in all His glory as God,the same as John saw Jesus in all His glory as God,for a person cannot visibly see Jesus sitting on the right hand of God,for that is a role of His mediator position,and cannot be observed,like John said there is only one throne in heaven,for Jesus sitting on the right hand of God is His mediator role,and not actually sitting on a throne next to the Father.

Jesus is the only visible manifestation of God that we will see,and if you have seen Jesus,then you have seen the Father,and Jesus said,I and My Father are one,and He is the fulness of the Godhead bodily,and when the Bible says Jesus sits on the right hand of God,it means,that God exalted the man Christ Jesus to exercise the throne on power,until the saints are united with the Father,and then the man Christ Jesus will stop exercising the throne of power,that God may be all in all.

There is only one throne in heaven,and one who sits on that throne,and is the throne of both God and the Lamb,God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus,and God's visible relationship to the saints for eternity,and Jesus is the only person we will see in heaven,for in heaven when we see Jesus,then we have seen the Father.

It is good that people seek out that which does not seem right to find the truth,for that is popular among a lot of people that Jesus sits on a throne next to the Father,but that can happen when a person reads one scripture,and bases their interpretation on that one scripture,and does not view it in light of other scriptures that tell the story more,but that can happen for they are not looking for it,for they have their interpretation,and when a scripture comes up that seems to tell the story more,they do not give it consideration,but some people catch those red flags that come up,and say,hey,why is this,for it appears as if it is relating more than what I thought,so I cannot dismiss it,but must find out what goeth on.

Jesus STANDING was a declaration to Stephen that the enemies of Christ were defeated- the last enemy is death.

So by Christ STANDING, Stephen went to his death under the declaration that death had been defeated. Pretty awesome.
Never saw it that way, that's awesome.
One thing I get from that scripture is that the King of Kings is standing. To me that speaks of honour, you stand from a seating position to honour someone, Jesus was honouring Stephen.
