Yet, when Christ ascends, something unprecedented happens: He is seated at the right hand of God himself, and he is established as King: God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. (Ps 47:5–8) Christ’s ascension into the heavens is therefore a victory march and a divine enthronement.
