God, an omnipresent Spirit, is not literally taking weight off his tired feet by sitting on a literal throne.
Is Jesus "in his humanity" sitting on His throne? Yes! In other words Jesus has power NOW. Jesus is King. He rules. That does not mean there has to be a literal chair in heaven and Jesus is resting his tired feet sitting on it. It means that Jesus is reigning right now.

Thanks Prax, you are more eloquent than I most of the time. Aside from the Humanity part which I believe to be done away with based on
1 Cor 15:24-28
Jesus is reigning as: The Word of God, The Spirit and Life Words of God, Living Water, The Tree of Life, He is a Life Giving Spirit, The Holy Spirit Quickening His believers.
Not as a Human/God sitting in a chair on the other side of Pluto somewhere in space watching Alien Spaceships fly by..
