TISHRI 16

The Right Hand

 

 

“…And Your right hand supports me …” (Ps 18:35)

 

All throughout the Scriptures, the ‘right hand’ is the source of power and authority.  This is an act that is similar to being given “power of attorney” by Elohim, for everything accomplished by the right hand is done so with Yahweh’s permission and agreement.  For example, we find that victory in battle is attributed to the right hand of our Elohim (see Ex 15:6, 12; Ps 98:1), salvation is found at the right hand of our Master (Ps 17:7, 20:6), the right hand of the Father is filled with righteousness (Ps 48:10, Isa 41:10), and the right hand of our Creator is the One that strengthens, sustains, and supports (Ps 63:8, 139:10, 16:10).  The right hand of Elohim is always to be exalted (118:14-17), which brings us to the next point of this discourse.

 

Messiah Yeshua is now seated at the right hand of Elohim (Mark 16:19, Acts 7:56, Eph 1:20, Heb 1:13), at the place of all power and authority.  Perhaps it would not be incorrect to interpret this to mean that Yeshua is the Father’s ‘right-hand man’, and it is this conduit of power that enables us to stand and withstand!  Hallelu-YAH!

 

 

“Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the ages, who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE GREATNESS ON HIGH …” (Heb 1:1-3, emphasis mine)

 

“Who is he who is condemning? It is Messiah who died, and furthermore is also raised up, who is also at the right hand of Elohim, who also makes intercession for us.” (Rom 8:34)
