Majesty on High
"Who being the brightness of His glory...when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."
Hebrews 1:3 KJV
- Name of God the Father
- God is referred to as the "Majesty on high" once in the KJV
- Majesty is defined as "grandeur, regal bearing, imposing character, having greatness or supreme authority," Kings and queens have traditionally been referred to as "Your Majesty."
- The writer of Hebrews describes how God used to speak to mankind through prophets, but in later years He spoke to the world through the person of Jesus Christ. And now Jesus has been raised up to sit at the right hand of the Majesty on High.
The term Your Majesty has been applied to some doubtful characters. Frederick William of Prussia marched his soldiers through his bedroom and Queen Juana of Castile had such a jealous streak that she even kept pretty women away from her dead husband's coffin. Nebuchadnezzar from the book of Daniel ate grass!
Of course, there have been good, civilized kings and queens, too, but if we want real majesty, we need to look higher. The throne of heaven is where we will find the true, unflawed Majesty on High.
