Scripture suggests that the subordination of the Son to the Father is eternal, as evidenced by passages like 1 Corinthians 15:28, which states that the Son will ultimately be made subject to the Father, indicating a lasting relational hierarchy. This understanding frames the significance of the Son sitting on the Father’s throne—not as a claim to co-equality, but as an act of divine authority granted by the Father. When believers emphasize co-equality based on this imagery, it can lead to self-exaltation, as they may view themselves as having an inherent right to authority akin to Christ’s, thereby distorting the intended message of Revelation. This perspective risks undermining the biblical truth that sitting on the throne is a gift from Christ to the faithful rather than a reflection of their own divine status. It also introduces the false notion that the Son might sit on the Father’s throne by virtue of co-equality, which contradicts the scriptural affirmation of His subordination. By misinterpreting this promise, believers may overlook the essential themes of humility and dependence on God’s grace, which are central to understanding their relationship with Christ and the nature of their exaltation.
