This thought was originally recorded as a prophecy at Psalm 110:1 where it says: "Jehovah (YHWH)saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool"(ASV)
To be at someone's RIGHT hand means that you're in a position of favor (Matthew 25:33). The Right Hand is also the 'action hand', gets things done, and suggests 'actively supporting' something(Revelation 13:16). If someone is at a king's 'right hand' they are trusted as a support. Someone might say: "He's my 'right hand man'! Someone who can act FOR you, think LIKE you, and do as you say. When warriors fought with swords, they usually fought with their RIGHT hand, while carrying their shield in the LEFT, therefore, their RIGHT hand was unprotected, so a friend would stay by their right side and fight for them, much as God does for his people (Psalm 16:8/Psalm 109:30+31/Psalm 110:5/Psalm 121:5)standing at their 'right hand'.
When God (YHWH)prophesied, through David, about the coming of his judgement on the earth, He was speaking to his Messiah ('anointed one') when he said to wait 'at my right hand'...ready to act when the time came... THEN, when God had put Messiah's enemies in place, to GO and 'Rule in the midst of your enemies'(KJV)
When Jesus died, as a sacrifice for the sins of repentant mankind, this prophecy was applied to him (Mark 12:36/Matthew 22:44 /Hebrews 10:13). When he rose from the dead and, as prophesied, 'sat at the right hand of God'(Mark 16:19/Luke 22:69/Acts 2:33-35/Romans 8:34), in a Heavenly position (Philippians 2:9)(Ephesians 1:20/Colossians 3:1),having angels made subject to him (1 Peter 3:22), he waited for centuries, for God's command to conquor and RULE as King, as spoken of at Psalm 2:1-9 and Revelation 19:11-21.
