Descending from on high to mingle with the commoners?

[yaoxm88]

Dear teacher, this is from Movie The Lion King (1994), the word “High” in that sentence below is a bit hard to understand...

It seems to be a Noun word here, but none of noun meaning below in the dictionary fits in...

I'd appreciate someone could help to explain a little bit, thank you in advance!

Now Scar, don't look at me that way...
HELP!!!!
Scar!
Mm-hmm...?
Drop him.
Impeccable timing, your majesty.
Eyyccch.
Why! If it isn't my big brother descending
from on high to mingle with the commoners.

From on high is a fixed phrase meaning "from a socially elevated position". It's usually only used sarcastically.
