What does it mean for God to exalt Jesus at his right hand?

Acts 5:31 (ESV)

31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

Historically, the person seated at the right hand of the king was the most important individual in his court. In this context the idea is used to affirm that Jesus is in the place of supreme authority, dominion, and dignity (see Acts 2:33).1
