What does business state
about “right hand man”?
A right-hand
man is a kind of assistant, male or female, relied upon heavily by another.
The term comes from the importance of the right hand in performing tasks (since
many people are right-handed). There is speculation that "right-hand
man" also comes from the idea of a king with his advisor sitting on his
right side, but there is little evidence supporting it.
Science has a term “Right-hand rule”, what does this
refer to?
The right hand rule is also an algorithm
used to solve mazes,
where a person keeps their right hand on a wall at all times while moving
forward, because the walls along the path to the exit of the maze form one
surface.

What does the Bible state about “At the right hand
of”?
In the Bible there is discussion of “at the right hand of God.”
Let’s see what Matthew Henry’s commentary and what the Bible
state
about this subject.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the
Bible
Christ's ascension.
After the Lord had spoken he went up into heaven. Sitting is a posture of
rest, he had finished his work; and a posture of rule, he
took possession of his kingdom. He sat at the right hand of God, which denotes
his sovereign dignity and universal power. Whatever God does concerning us,
gives to us, or accepts from us, it is by his Son. Now he is glorified with the
glory he had before the world. The apostles went forth, and preached every
where, far and near . . .
Now let’s look at what Scripture tells us about Christ.
Mark
16:19 (NIV)
19 After the Lord Jesus had
spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of
God.
Luke
22:69 (NIV)
69 But from now on, the Son of
Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."
Acts
2:32-34 (NIV)
32 God has raised this Jesus
to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
33 Exalted to the right
hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has
poured out what you now see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend
to heaven, and yet he said,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
Acts 5:30-32 (NIV)
30 The God of our fathers
raised Jesus from the dead—whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.
31 God exalted him to his
own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and
forgiveness of sins to Israel
32 We are witnesses of
these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey
him."
Romans 8:33-35 (NIV)
33 Who will bring any
charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns?
Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right
hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or
nakedness or danger or sword?
