HEBREWS 8:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;”

Now the main point (kephalaion) of what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven — the superlative achievement of Hebrews' argument is a priest who does not work in an earthly sanctuary but ministers in the heavenly tent. Seated at the right hand indicates both completion of his redemptive work and present intercession for the people of God. The throne of the Majesty identifies Christ's position in the realm of ultimate reality where true worship occurs.
