Right hand, man of the

  

'The man of the right hand,' as in Psalm 80:17, signifies the Lord with respect to the Word. He is called 'the man of the right hand,' because the Lord has power by divine truth, which is the Word. He had the divine power itself when He fulfilled the whole Word. So He also said that, 'they should see the soul of a person sitting in power, on the right hand of the Father!'

3326. 'Esau said, Behold, I am going to die' means that [the good of the natural] would after that rise again. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good of the natural, dealt with in 3302, 3322, and from the meaning of 'dying' as the final phase of a state when something ceases to exist, dealt with in 2908, 2912, 2917, 2923. And since the end of the previous state is the beginning of the next, 'going to die', like 'being buried', here means rising again after that. For 'being buried' means rising again, see 2916, 2917, 3256. His rising again after that implies that good will come to have priority and dominion over truth, after truth in the short term has apparently had priority, dealt with above.
