The author keeps coming back to this central action of Christ sitting down at God’s right hand. Notice also that he mentions Christ’s waiting. He is no longer in a mode where He appears to His servants and then disappears again. Once He sat down, He has been waiting until the culmination of this age, and then—as it says in Hebrews 9:28—He will appear a second time. But up until that second appearance, He is waiting.
