In both verses, Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. No one is seated on His left hand.
Other people have alluded that Archangel Gabriel (the Messenger) stands near Gods left; but he is not seated. There is no scripture for that assertion, that I have seen.
Mishael
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Matt 13 24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Chris...........please study the word of God again and let me know what has changed
ISAIAH 14
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in THINE HEART, I WILL ascend into heaven, I WILL exalt my throne above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
The good news is, Jesus preached to the prisoners of hell and emptied the prison. That is Jesus's heart.
If you hear a politician spouting off how they are going to take over the world, take our SUPREME COURT HOSTAGE; That is the Great "I WILL" at work, doing whatever he can to hurt Gods people.
GODS NAME IS, I AM.
Concerning the Border Crisis, I think the Antichrist Spirit that is already in the world. It's going to destroy our Economy.
Fortunately, God is revealing this through Christians with a prophetic gift; from the Holy Spirit. If the thing they say doesn't come true, don't listen to them. If it's true, other prophetic gifts will have seen the SAME thing.
We are seeing Matthew 24, Luke 21, signs happening every day. Nations burning, flooding, drought, People being exterminated because of faith, economies going flatline turning to BITCOIN
There is NO WAY to survive this until better times can come. Now is the DAY OF SALVATION. Trusting Jesus is the only way. Don't think it to death; do it now!!
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
I visited my aunt days later after praying over her and she was SOBER!!!!!!!!!!! My aunt told me that she did not have a drink for the past couple of days because she had a headache. I looked to the Heavens, smiled, and shouted to the LORD, You're a GOOD GOOD Father!!!!! Before I left her home she looked at me and said, "GOD has shown me that he still has the Power and has more work for me to do." MAtthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goes out but by prayer and fasting.
(or maybe the HS guiding me) Philippians 2 right after and thought it very fitting. God bless
Matthew 18:2 - 18:5
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Philippians 2:1-15
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
A zeal and heavenly desire pervades the inspired strings
Of David's harp, whose tuneful chords a mournful feeling brings;
When fear of death was strong within, those strains from Zion roll,
In psalms to demonstrate his grief and gloominess of soul.
Such zeal, O brother, did I see from thee, like flashes burst,
As thou the Christian martyrs' death and steadfast faith rehearsed:
Even at the very time when sore afflicted, thou didst lie,
And thou didst seem to realize thou must shortly die.
Wilt thou not save that care and zeal which thou dost now exhaust,
And cease awhile that sacrifice, which all thy strength has cost?
And with the sick and weak awhile from active service hold,
In which, as I have said, thou jas engaged with zeal untold.
Yet, well I know that thou, like Christ, must ever onward go,
And teach the world the word of God, while traveling here below,
To show the world what we shall bear, and what the martyrs bore:
Thou wast, by studying God's blest word, impelled to work the more.
The answer to your first question is 'no.' It isn't a sin for a Christian to wear jewelry, so long as it is done in moderation. Harlots wore a lot of jewelry and makeup to ''advertise'' who they were in the old testament, but I see nothing wrong with it if done tastefully. God likens true Israel to a bride ( His bride) and mentions jewelry in Ezekiel chapter 16 verses 11-13. If God Himself is fine with it, we should be, also.
The answer to your second question is, again, 'no.' It is not a sin for a woman to wear pants. Some bible thumpers will pull Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 5 and assume that is what that means, but that pertains to unnatural sexual acts. In other words, a man is not to take the place of a woman in a sexual act and vice versa for a woman. (Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22; Romans chapter 1 verses 26-32) to name some examples.
When The Lord gave His life for us on the cross, He descended into heaven. But, He went to the 'prison' to preach to the souls who didn't have an opportunity to know Him in 1 Peter chapter 3 verses 18-20. To help better understand this, read about 'the gulf' in Luke chapter 16 and 2nd Esdras chapter 7 in the Apocrypha by Edgar J. Goodspeed. Hope all of this has helped.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the CARNAL mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the FLESH cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Hebrews 11:6 (View whole chapter)
But without faith it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Mishael: the 11th Chapter of Hebrews is known as "THE BOOK OF HEROES OF FAITH".
We all walk by faith and not by sight.
And God tests us in little things first. Tithing is a total work of faith. On Christmas Eve, I and my son were sitting at a traffic light. We saw an old man cross in front of us; head down in the freezing rain. All the money I had was 20 dollars for Christmas dinner. I asked my 8 yr old son if we should, and he shouted YES. I jumped out and gave the old man a hug and said Blessed Christmas and gave him the 20. We both thought upon him the next day. He was our Christmas blessing! Friends called and said to come over and eat with their family.
It doesn't take great faith. Just simple obedience to the Holy Spirit; who IS God. He never asks us to do impossible feats of faith: just ordinary things.
What will we do if the Holy Spirit taps us on the shoulder and asks us for a small act of faith?
The right answer to your question of what pleases God, is to be a person of faith. Like Jesus.
Matthew 11:29
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
If we want God's Grace (Reward) we must become humble as the apostle relates below:
1 Peter 5:5
"Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."
1 Peter 5:6
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
Humility is better than gold. We can't buy humility, but we can pray REAL REAL REAL HARD for it, and hope the Holy Sprit blesses us with it!
God Bless

I agree with Brother Adam who previously responded to your comments. Surely we most do more than just believe. Jesus states in scripture below: he will reward every man according to his work. This does take action on our part, as Jesus also states in scripture below, that he will come quickly and reward those who keep his commandments, and they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:12-14
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city
So, if you believe what Jesus is stating here in the scripture: We must then keep his (God's) commandments and produce good work/good fruit!
Jesus didn't die on the cross, so that all of us can keep sinning as much as we want - with no repercussions. There is no free ticket to heaven!
God Bless
