Preaching on the Day of Pentecost, Peter saw Jesus' exaltation as a fulfilment of Psalm 110:1, "The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

God Inviting Christ to Sit on the Throne at His Right Hand, painting by Pieter de Grebber (1645). The Holy Spirit is visible as a dove at the top of the image. The right hand of God is a phrase used in the Bible and common speech as a metaphor for the omnipotence of God and as a motif in art.

Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
