Hebrews 1:3 (NAS)
And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hebrews 1:3 (Philips)
This Son, radiance of the glory of God, flawless expression of the nature of God, himself the upholding power of all that is, having effected in person the cleansing of men’s sin, took his seat at the right hand of the majesty on high—

Jesus Christ originated from Adonai, God Almighty. He was separated from His Father to take on human flesh. His very being was to reflect the radiance and brightness of Almighty God. The Light of God's majesty has shone forth to us through Yeshua. He has revealed the magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, and grace of God.

In Jesus, God carved and engraved His likeness. Yeshua was stamped with the exact impression of the Lord God. Adonai committed to writing His word in the flesh of Jesus. He is a record of what God was, is, and ever will be. He is the substance and nature of Almighty God.

Now Yeshua (Jesus) is the One who bears and upholds all things by His word. The power and strength of His words cause everything to stand and endure. Through Him everything that exists came into being and through Him everything remains.

He was the One who purged and cleansed us from our sins. He removed every defilement and every stain that sin had made on us. He purified us and consecrated us, dedicating us to God Almighty. He freed us from every corrupt desire and everything false. He made us blameless and innocent in the sight of God.

Then, His work being completed, He sat down at God's right hand, a place of honor and authority. It is there, now, that He abides and has His existence, ruling and reigning in the majesty of the Almighty.
