“In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.”
(Revelation 1:16a)
His Right Hand:
The right hand is a place of power and protection. Christ occupies this honored place on the throne with His Father (Psalm 110:1; Heb. 1:3). And in Christ's right hand are the seven stars. Stars could be angels or messengers of the churches. The idea is that Jesus never forsakes His own (for they are in His right hand), even when they pass through 'the valley of the shadow of death'. Every Christian who has died passed through physical death into the fullness of eternal life in the sheltering right hand of God Incarnate.
(Douglas F. Kelly)
