TO WHOM DOES IT REFER, WHEN THE TITLE ‘LORD’ IS USED ?
Let's read what Wikipedia has to see. click on link below
Both the Old and the New Testament are full of passages that refer to ‘the Lord.
WHO IS ‘THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS’ ?
The Apostle Paul refers to the Father as the King of kings, and Lord of lords:
“….That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall show, who IS the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”
(I Timothy 6:14-16 KJV)
**Many people saw Jesus when he was on earth.
Yet the following verse clearly refers to Jesus Christ, the Lamb, as being called the “Lord of lords, and the King of kings!”
“....These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
(Revelation 17:14 KJV)
**These two verses would show that God and Jesus will share the same title.
Out of the Gospel of the Kingdom to Come
At the end of the ages a desperate struggle will be fought between the kingdoms of Life and Death. The battle, and the resulting victory, is described in the following manner: "And out of his [the resurrected Champion's] mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it lie should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron [lie shall turn their own weapons against them] : and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."—See Rev. 19 :11-21.
Through this process, Christ, "the true vine." becomes the "King of kings and Lord of lords." When his servants have hewn down the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the fowls and the wild animals are invited to a feast—they are permitted to avenge themselves on. their Nimrodian enemies—and they "eat the- flesh of kings and the flesh of captains and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great."
