Consider, for example, Barth’s claim: Men are timeless when we are without God and without Christ. Then we have no time. But this timelessness he has overcome. Christ has time, the fullness of time. He sitteth at the right hand of God as he who has come, who has acted and suffered and triumphed in death. His session at God’s right hand is not just the extract of this history; it is the eternal within this history. Accordingly Christians need not separate the necessary truths justified by reason from the claims of faith justified only by history and tradition. Our task is not to try to fit God into our histories, but rather to understand the good news that God has made us part of His history.

Easy. God the Father is Elohim (Eloha) as Genesis reads in the Hebrew. His Son, Jesus Christ, is Yahweh, Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament. In the Septuagint, Deuteronomy 32:8 "8When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he divided mankind,
he fixed the borders[a] of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God." This indicates that Yahweh is Jesus Christ. Remember in the New Testament where it says No man knows the Father save the Son? This was Christ rerevealing Elohim to the Jews of his day. Now, as Yahweh, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, sits at the right hand of the Father, Elohim, until he comes again in glory.

Simply put, God the Eternal Father, and Jesus Christ are separate Godly beings, and Jesus Christ is the son of God the Eternal Father. It is a simple Father and Son relationship, not two personality in one body as many may mistakenly believe.
please ponder the following verses:
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
(New Testament | Acts 7:55 - 56)
28 Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 3:28)
26 And may the grace of God the Father, whose throne is high in the heavens, and our Lord Jesus Christ, who sitteth on the right hand of his power, until all things shall become subject unto him, be, and abide with you forever. Amen.
(Book of Mormon | Moroni 9:26)

If God is Spirit and is everywhere, then how does one stand at His right hand in the first place? Your exegesis reduces things to a level that makes the whole concept of an omnipresent God absurd. The "right hand of God" is a metaphor.

If that young filly comes out from behind the bushes the old stallion might remember what he came down to the metaphor.

I thought the Bible says He was sitting?
Jesus apparently stood up to welcome Stephen home.
