This concept is deeply rooted in the Scriptures, where God is frequently depicted as the one who exalts individuals or nations according to His sovereign will and purpose. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, exaltation is often associated with God's favor and blessing. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/2-7.htm">1 Samuel 2:7</a>, Hannah's prayer acknowledges, "The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts." This verse highlights the belief that God is the ultimate source of both humbling and exalting, emphasizing His control over human circumstances. The Psalms frequently speak of exaltation in terms of God's deliverance and protection. <a href="/psalms/75-6.htm">Psalm 75:6-7</a> states, "For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert, but it is God who judges; He brings one down and exalts another." Here, the psalmist underscores that true exaltation is not a result of human effort or geographical advantage but is a divine act of judgment and grace. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the theme of exaltation is closely linked to the life and work of Jesus Christ. <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a> declares, "Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This passage illustrates the ultimate exaltation of Christ following His humility and obedience unto death, serving as a model for believers. The concept of exaltation is also applied to believers. <a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a> advises, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." This exhortation reflects the biblical principle that humility precedes exaltation, a recurring theme throughout Scripture. Theological Implications Exaltation in the Bible is not merely about personal advancement or success; it is intrinsically linked to God's purposes and glory. The exaltation of individuals or nations serves to fulfill divine plans and demonstrate God's sovereignty. For example, the exaltation of Joseph in Egypt (<a href="/genesis/41-39.htm">Genesis 41:39-41</a>) was instrumental in preserving the lineage of Israel and fulfilling God's covenant promises. Moreover, the exaltation of Christ is central to Christian theology, affirming His divinity and lordship. It assures believers of their future exaltation with Him, as expressed in <a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a> : "And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him." Practical Application For believers, the biblical teaching on exaltation encourages a life of humility, service, and trust in God's timing and purposes. It calls for a recognition that true exaltation is not self-derived but is a gift from God, often following a period of testing or humility. This understanding fosters a reliance on God's grace and a commitment to living in a manner that honors Him, with the assurance that He will exalt those who are faithful in due time.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The classic passage of Scripture, rich in suggestion, and the source of much controversy in the development of Christian theology, is <a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-11</a>. The word "exalted" of <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>, huperupsoo, occurs only in this place in the New Testament and, like its Latin representative, is limited to ecclesiastical use. Compare <a href="/romans/14-9.htm">Romans 14:9</a> <a href="/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19-23</a> <a href="/1_peter/3-21.htm">1 Peter 3:21, 22</a>. Christ's Exaltation includes His Resurrection, Ascension, Session at the right hand of God, and Advent as Judge and Consummator of the world's redemption. I. The Resurrection. 1. Its Glorification of Christ: The historic place and validity of this event will be found under other heads; our concern is with the event as it relates to the glorification of our Lord. (1) It revealed His power over death. (2) It confirms all His claims to Divine Sonship. (3) It attests His acceptance and that of His work by God. (4) It crowns the process of the redemption of the world. (5) It forms the beginning of that new creation which is life eternal, and over which death can have no power. (6) It is the entrance of the Son of God into the power and glory of the New Kingdom, or the restored Kingdom of the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe. The following Scriptures among many others may be consulted: <a href="/revelation/1-18.htm">Revelation 1:18</a> <a href="/acts/2-24.htm">Acts 2:24</a> <a href="/romans/1-4.htm">Romans 1:4</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20</a>; <a href="/john/5-25.htm">John 5:25</a> <a href="/romans/4-25.htm">Romans 4:25</a> <a href="/romans/6-4.htm">Romans 6:4, 5</a> <a href="/colossians/2-12.htm">Colossians 2:12</a> <a href="/philippians/3-10.htm">Philippians 3:10</a>; <a href="/romans/6-9.htm">Romans 6:9</a>. 2. Resurrection Body-Identity, Change, Present Locality: An interesting and important question arises in connection with Christ's exaltation, relating to the nature of the body of the risen Lord. It was clearly identical with that of His natural life. It was recognized by the marks which were upon it: <a href="/luke/24-39.htm">Luke 24:39, 40</a> <a href="/john/20-24.htm">John 20:24-29</a>. It received food: <a href="/luke/24-43.htm">Luke 24:43</a> (compare <a href="/luke/24-30.htm">Luke 24:30</a>; <a href="/john/21-12.htm">John 21:12, 13</a> <a href="/acts/10-41.htm">Acts 10:41</a>). Nevertheless it was changed. After the resurrection, it was not at once recognized: <a href="/john/20-15.htm">John 20:15</a>; <a href="/john/21-7.htm">John 21:7</a> <a href="/luke/24-31.htm">Luke 24:31</a>. It appeared under apparently new conditions of relation to material substance: <a href="/john/20-19.htm">John 20:19</a> <a href="/luke/24-36.htm">Luke 24:36</a>. It suddenly became visible, and as suddenly vanished. These facts suggest what reverently may be surmised as to its exalted condition. The apostle's declaration as to the resurrection-body of the redeemed furnishes some hints: <a href="/1_corinthians/15-35.htm">1 Corinthians 15:35-49</a>; compare <a href="/philippians/3-21.htm">Philippians 3:21</a>. We may cautiously, from the history of the resurrection and the Pauline doctrine, conclude, that our Lord still possesses a human body. It is of material substance, with new properties. It occupies space. It was seen by Paul, by Stephen, by the seer of the Apocalypse. It is glorious, incorruptible, spiritual. 3. The Agent of the Resurrection: By whom was the resurrection effected? It is referred by some Scriptures to God. See <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a> (compare <a href="/acts/2-27.htm">Acts 2:27, 31</a>); and the distinct affirmation by Peter (<a href="/acts/2-32.htm">Acts 2:32</a>). Paul declares that Christ was "raised. through the glory of the Father" (<a href="/romans/6-4.htm">Romans 6:4</a>). In <a href="/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19, 20</a>, it was the mighty power of God which was wrought in Christ "when he raised him from the dead." Elsewhere it is ascribed to Christ Himself. He declared: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19</a>). In <a href="/john/10-17.htm">John 10:17, 18</a>, our Lord declares: "I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." The efficient agent is said, according to the generally received reading of <a href="/romans/8-2.htm">Romans 8:2</a>, to have been the Spirit of God, and thus the resurrection is referred to each person of the Godhead. The doctrine of the Lutheran church refers the act to the human power of the Lord Himself, which by incarnation had been endowed with attributes of Deity. This view consists with their teaching of the omnipresence of the body of Jesus (see below on the section "Ascension"). II. The Ascension of our Lord. 1. Its Actuality: The exaltation of Christ consisted further in His ascension. Some have held that the resurrection and ascension of Jesus ought to be regarded as aspects of the same event. But Mary saw the risen Lord, though she was forbidden to touch Him, for "I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend," etc. (<a href="/john/20-17.htm">John 20:17</a>). This, compared with the invitation to Thomas to touch Him, eight days later, suggests something in the ascension added to that which the resurrection implied, and the general thought of the church has consistently regarded the latter as a further step in the exaltation of the Lord. 2. General Doctrine of the Church: The fact of ascension is recorded in <a href="/mark/16-19.htm">Mark 16:19</a>, and <a href="/luke/24-50.htm">Luke 24:50, 51</a>, and with greater detail in <a href="/acts/1-9.htm">Acts 1:9-11</a>. According to these accounts, the ascension was seen by the disciples, and this suggests that heaven is a locality, where are the angels, who are not ubiquitous, and where Christ's disciples will find the place which He declared He was going to prepare for them (<a href="/john/14-2.htm">John 14:2</a>). Heaven is also undoubtedly referred to as a state (<a href="/ephesians/2-6.htm">Ephesians 2:6</a> <a href="/philippians/3-20.htm">Philippians 3:20</a>), but Christ's body must be in some place, and where He is, there is Heaven. 3. Lutheran Doctrine: This is certainly the doctrine of the church in general, and seems to be consistent with the Scriptural teaching. But the Lutherans have maintained that the ascension of the Lord merely involved a change of state in the human nature of Christ. He possessed during His life on earth the Divine attributes of omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience, but He voluntarily abstained from their exercise. But at His ascension He returned to the full use of these powers. The ascension is Christ's return to immensity. The community of natures gave these Divine qualities to the humanity of Jesus, which Luther declared involved its ubiquity, and that as He was at the right hand of God, and God was everywhere, so Christ in His human personality was in no specific place but everywhere. This omnipresence is not of the infinite extension of the body of the Lord, but He is present as God is everywhere present in knowledge and power. 4. Theory of Laying Aside the Existence-Form of God: Another theory of the ascended humanity-of the Lord depends upon the conception of the Son of God laying aside at incarnation the "existence-form of God," and while affirming that Christ's body is now in a definite place, it proceeds to hold that at the ascension the accidental and variable qualities of humanity were laid aside, and that He dwells in heaven as a glorified man. Ebrard says: "He has laid aside forever the existence form of God, and assumed that of man in perpetuity, in which form by His Spirit He governs the church and the world. He is thus dynamically present to all His people." This form of doctrine seems to involve as the result of the incarnation of the Son of God His complete and sole humanity. He is no more than a man. The Logos is no longer God, and as the ascension did not involve the reassumption of the "existence-form of God," Christ in glory is only a glorified man. 5. Necessity: The ascension was necessary, in conformity with the spiritual character of the kingdom which Christ founded. Its life is that of faith, not sight. A perpetual life of even the resurrected Christ on earth would have been wholly inconsistent with the spiritual nature of the new order. The return of Christ to the special presence of God was also part of His high-priestly service (see CHRIST, OFFICES OF) and His corporal absence from His people was the condition of that gift of the Spirit by which salvation was to be secured to each believer and promulgated throughout the world, as declared by Himself (<a href="/john/16-7.htm">John 16:7</a>). Finally, the ascension was that physical departure of the Lord to the place which He was to prepare for His people (<a href="/john/14-2.htm">John 14:2, 3</a>). The resurrection was this completion of the objective conditions of redemption. The ascension was the initial step in the carrying out of redemptive work in the final salvation of mankind. III. Exaltation Completed at the Right Hand of God. 1. Its Significance: The term "the right hand of God" is Scriptural (<a href="/acts/7-55.htm">Acts 7:55, 56</a> <a href="/romans/8-34.htm">Romans 8:34</a> <a href="/ephesians/1-20.htm">Ephesians 1:20</a> <a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-12.htm">Hebrews 10:12</a>; <a href="/hebrews/12-2.htm">Hebrews 12:2</a> <a href="/1_peter/3-22.htm">1 Peter 3:22</a>) and expresses the final step in the Lord's exaltation. Care must be taken in the use of the expression. It is a figure to express the association of Christ with God in glory and power. It must not be employed as by Luther to denote the relation of the body of Christ to space, neither must it be limited to the Divine nature of the Logos reinstated in the conditions laid aside in incarnation. Christ thus glorified is the God-man, theanthropic person, Divine and human. 2. Its Essential Necessity: This exaltation is based upon the essential glory of the Son of God, who "being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person. sat down on the right hand" (<a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a> the King James Version). It is the claim which the Lord makes for Himself in His prayer (<a href="/john/17-4.htm">John 17:4, 5</a>), and is thus specifically declared in <a href="/philippians/2-6.htm">Philippians 2:6-11</a>: "God highly exalted Him." But in His glory Christ received the power universal and Divine. In <a href="/ephesians/1-20.htm">Ephesians 1:20-22</a> His supreme dignity and power are affirmed "far above. every name," "all things. under His feet" (compare <a href="/hebrews/2-8.htm">Hebrews 2:8</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/15-27.htm">1 Corinthians 15:27</a>; <a href="/1_peter/3-22.htm">1 Peter 3:22</a>). Christ at the "right hand of God" is the highly suggestive picture of His universal dominion asserted by Himself (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>): "All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth." It is vain to speculate upon the relation of Christ's nature in this exalted state. We cannot distinguish between the human and Divine. We can only believe in, and trust and submit to the One Glorified Person who thus administers the kingdom in perfect harmony with its Divine laws in all the ages, and His own revelation of the will of God, as given to man in His own earthly career: pitiful, tender, serving, helping, restoring, saving, triumphant. The exaltation is for His mediatorial and finally saving work. He is the Head of His church; He is the Lord of angels and men; He is the Master of the ages. IV. The Second Advent. The exaltation of Christ is to be completed by His coming again at the close of the dispensation, to complete His redemptive work and judge the world, and so to establish the final Kingdom of God. This belief has found a place in all the ecumenical symbols. Theology has ever included it in its eschatology. It is clear that the apostles and the early church expected the second coming of the Lord as an immediate event, the significance of which, and especially the effect of the nonfulfillment of which expectation, does not fall within the province of this article to consider. The various theories of the Parousia, the different ideas as to the time and the form of the second Advent, do not concern its relation to the exaltation of the Lord. Whenever and however He may return; whether He is ever coming to the church and to the world, His visible or His spiritual presence, do not affect the fact that He has been exalted to the position of ultimate Lord and final judge of men. We may therefore define this crowning condition of exaltation as: 1. Reality: An advent, real, personal and visible. We must guard against the extremes of limiting this advent on the one side to a final particular event, on the other to those critical and catastrophic movements in world history which have led to the extension of God's kingdom and a virtual judgment of men. The Lord is ever coming, and also He will return. See <a href="/acts/1-11.htm">Acts 1:11</a> <a href="/luke/17-24.htm">Luke 17:24</a> <a href="/matthew/24-30.htm">Matthew 24:30</a>; <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31</a> <a href="/luke/19-12.htm">Luke 19:12</a> <a href="/matthew/13-40.htm">Matthew 13:40, 41, 49</a>; <a href="/luke/18-8.htm">Luke 18:8</a> <a href="/john/5-28.htm">John 5:28, 29</a>; <a href="/john/6-40.htm">John 6:40, 54</a>; 21:22 <a href="/acts/3-20.htm">Acts 3:20</a> <a href="/2_thessalonians/1-10.htm">2 Thessalonians 1:10</a>; <a href="/hebrews/9-28.htm">Hebrews 9:28</a> <a href="/james/5-8.htm">James 5:8</a> <a href="/jude/1-14.htm">Jude 1:14</a> <a href="/1_john/2-28.htm">1 John 2:28</a> <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>. The reality and visibility of the advent depend upon the personal and abiding relation of the Lord to the world-redemption. Christianity is not merely a spiritual dynamic drawn from a series of past events. It is the living relation of the complete humanity of the redeemed to the God man, and must therefore be consummated in a spiritual and material form. The ultimate of Christianity is no more docetic than was its original. A reverent faith will be satisfied with the fact of the glory whenever it shall arrive. The form and time are unrevealed. Preparation and readiness are better than speculation and imaginary description. 2. Judgment: The Judgment is clearly taught by Scripture. our Lord declares that He is appointed Judge. (<a href="/john/5-22.htm">John 5:22</a>; <a href="/john/9-39.htm">John 9:39</a>). Paul teaches that we must "all stand before the judgment-seat of God" (<a href="/romans/14-10.htm">Romans 14:10</a>). Here again there is the suggestion of the judgment which is ever being made by the Lord in His office as Sovereign and Administrator of the kingdom; but there is also the expectation of a definite and final act of separation and discernment. Whatever may be the form of this judgment (and here again a wise and reverent silence as to the unrevealed is a becoming attitude for the believer), we are sure that He who will make it, is the glorified Word incarnate, and it will be the judgment of a wisdom and justice and love that will be the complete glory of the Christ.
