The Bible teaches that Christ now sits on the right hand of God. Thus also according to His human nature, with His divine almighty power, He rules and fulfills all things. In a very special way He rules and protects His Church on earth.

The right hand of God does not mean some confined area or place, but the eternal, endless, divine power, rule and majesty, through which He influences, governs and fills all things.

1 Pet. 3:22: Who (Jesus) is gone to heaven, and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him.

Eph. 1:20-22: God set him (Christ) at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 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. And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church.

Ps. 110:1. (The Father says to Jesus) Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Heb. 1:3: The Son... when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

1 Joh. 2:1-2: If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Matt. 26: 64: Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Matt. 28:20: Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Matt. 18:20: Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
