20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Right-hand exaltation places Christ above every power and makes Him head over all things to the church.
Biblical right-hand language regularly describes power, victory, favor, and royal authority. It should not be flattened into a literal picture of two divine bodies seated side by side.
Jesus is the exalted man and visible Lamb in relation to the invisible God, yet Revelation’s final vision has one throne, one face, and one name.
A vision can distinguish God’s glory from the glorified Son without teaching two Gods or two coequal divine thrones.
Open with a New Testament exaltation text, establish the Old Testament idiom, then finish with Revelation’s one-throne vision.
