Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I know this might seem tangential but, bear with me a moment. The difference between the left hand and the right obviously means something when you study the subject from a biblical perspective. I won't here speculate as to why John offered the information that Jesus touched him with His right hand as opposed to His left but it reminded me of the importance of this subject when taking it as a whole.
It has been observed that roughly 1 in 10 people are left handed. Being left handed is referred to in English as being "sinistral". This is the root from which the term "sinister" is derived and I'm sure most know the negative connotation associated with that term. Both are likely a result of what may be found in the Bible on this subject. Here are two biblical offerings to illustrate the point:
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Eccl 10:2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
In addition to this there are numerous verses that point the right hand as being one of strength and honor:
Mark 16: 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Ex 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
I'm not sure I understand this subject in it's entirety but it would appear that the matter of dexterity is of some importance to God and in Him offering it thru His Word it would seem that He wishes to impart some learning to us as it concerns this subject.
