"Hereafter," said Jesus, "shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the 708 right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven." In these words Christ presented the reverse of the scene then taking place. He, the Lord of life and glory, would be seated at God's right hand. He would be the judge of all the earth, and from His decision there could be no appeal. Then every secret thing would be set in the light of God's countenance, and judgment be passed upon every man according to his deeds.

Jesus sagde: "Herefter skal I se Menneskesønnen sidde ved Kraftens højre hånd og komme på himmelens skyer." Med disse ord gav Kristus en skildring af modsætningen til det, der nu fandt sted. Han, livets og herlighedens Herre, skulle sidde ved Guds højre hånd. Han skulle dømme verden, og ingen ville kunne gøre indsigelse mod hans afgørelse. Så ville enhver hemmelighed komme til syne i lyset fra Guds åsyn, og der ville blive fældet dom over enhver efter hans gerninger.
