Book of Acts - Chapter 2 - Verse 34

2:34
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Meaning

Many interpretations of the verse "For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand," focus on the idea that David, as a human king, did not ascend to heaven in the same way that Jesus did. This verse is often seen as a reference to the exaltation of Jesus to a position of honor and authority by God the Father. By stating that David did not ascend into the heavens, the verse highlights the superiority of Jesus as the divine Lord who is seated at the right hand of God. The imagery of sitting at the right hand signifies a position of power and authority, indicating that Jesus has been given dominion over all things. This verse is a key piece of evidence used to support the belief in the divinity of Jesus and his exalted status in the heavenly realms.
