After ascending visibly on the fortieth day, Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of God. This enthronement followed His presentation before the Ancient of Days and resulted in the granting of dominion, glory, and a kingdom. The action fulfilled the declaration in Psalm 110 that He should sit at the right hand until His enemies become His footstool, combining the roles of King and Priest on the throne. Jesus Christ did not exalt Himself to this position. The Father directed the seating after the Son overcame and completed the assigned work. As a result, He rules with the Father in a place of honor above all principality and power. Angels remain subject to Him in this seat, and no angel received a similar command to sit at the right hand. The seating established a pause of unknown length during which Jesus Christ waits for the subjugation of enemies. It also marked the point from which He pours out gifts, including the Holy Spirit, and serves as High Priest. Multiple passages in Hebrews describe this seated position as the basis for ongoing intercession and authority over the church. The same seating confirms that heaven received Him until the time of restoration, after which He will return visibly.
