Right Hand of God

Right Hand of God

Right Hand of God or God's Right Hand is a phrase used to indicate the omnipotence of the Jewish and Christian Deity. In Christianity, the phrase is generally attributed to and understood to be a reference to Jesus Christ as an extension of God's power.

The origins of the phrase are found in the Bible. Specifically, in Acts 7:55 [http://bible.cc/acts/7-55.htm] , Mark 14:62 [http://biblecc.com/mark/14-62.htm] of the New Testament and Psalm 63:8 [http://biblecc.com/psalms/63-8.htm] in the Old Testament.
