Yahuah's right hand is first sung at the sea: "Thy right hand, O Yahuah, is become glorious in power" (Exod 15:6). The decisive text is the psalm of David: "Yahuah said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool" (Ps 110:1). The book reads the Lamb's taking of the scroll from the right hand of Him on the throne as authority transferred in open court: He does not take the throne; He is entrusted with authority. The Trinitarian appeal fails on the wording: adoni, "my lord," is a title for men, and one seated by another is not the One who seats him.
