55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Stephen sees God’s glory and the Son of man standing in the place of divine authority and vindication.
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.
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.
A vision can distinguish God’s glory from the glorified Son without teaching two Gods or two coequal divine thrones.
Open with a New Testament exaltation text, establish the Old Testament idiom, then finish with Revelation’s one-throne vision.
