Hebrews 1:3

Primary
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

What this passage establishes

After purging sins, the visible revelation of God sits in the place of majesty and rule.

Why it matters in the argument

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.

Apostolic connection

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.

Common misunderstanding

A vision can distinguish God’s glory from the glorified Son without teaching two Gods or two coequal divine thrones.

How to use it in conversation

Open with a New Testament exaltation text, establish the Old Testament idiom, then finish with Revelation’s one-throne vision.
