Study Note

The description of God's 'immeasurable greatness of power' demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead and seating him 'at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion' grounds Ephesians' cosmic Christology in the resurrection and ascension. The phrase 'at his right hand' quotes Psalm 110:1, the most-cited Old Testament verse in the New Testament, connecting the exaltation of Christ to the royal enthronement of the Davidic psalm. The enumeration of powers — rule, authority, power, dominion — reflects the angelological hierarchy of Second Temple Judaism, asserting Christ's supremacy over the entire spiritual hierarchy that governed the cosmos in that worldview. The verse links the power available to believers (verse 19) directly to the power that raised and enthroned Christ, making resurrection power the standard for Christian empowerment.
