About This Tag
Two Powers in Heaven describes an ancient interpretation in which a second divine figure shares God's throne, name, or authority alongside the most high God. Second Temple and early Jewish texts developed this idea through figures such as an exalted son of man, the enthroned Elect One, the Memra of the Aramaic translations, or a principal angel who bears the divine name and presides over judgment, often seated at God's right hand. Rabbinic tradition later treated belief in two divine powers as a danger and pushed back against it, reading the warrior at the sea and the elder at Sinai as one God rather than two, and warning about visions of a second figure enthroned in heaven.
