Christs cricifixion earned him the right to rule as king over earth for 1000 years, so until then he is lord.

you're appropriate in asserting that the actual God Jehovah became stated as Lord. His son Jesus became additionally stated as lord at cases why? The Greek and Hebrew words rendered “lord” (or such appropriate words as “sir,” “proprietor,” “grasp”) are used with regard to Jehovah God (Eze 3:11), Jesus Christ (Mt 7:21), between the elders seen with the aid of John in imaginative and prescient (Re 7:13, 14), angels (Ge 19:a million, 2; Da 12:8), adult adult males (1Sa 25:24; Ac sixteen:sixteen, 19, 30), and fake deities (1Co 8:5). in many cases the designation “lord” denotes one that has possession or authority and ability over persons or issues. (Ge 24:9; 40 two:30; 40 5:8, 9; 1Ki sixteen:24; Lu 19:33; Ac 25:26; Eph 6:5) This call became utilized with the aid of Sarah to her husband (Ge 18:12), with the aid of young toddlers to their fathers (Ge 31:35; Mt 21:28, 29), and with the aid of a youthful brother to his older brother (Ge 32:5, 6). apparently as a call of admire addressed to widespread persons, public officers, prophets, and kings. (Ge 23:6; 40 two:10; Nu 11:28; 2Sa a million:10; 2Ki 8:10-12; Mt 27:sixty 3) whilst utilized in addressing strangers, “lord,” or “sir,” served as a call of courtesy.—Joh 12:21; 20:15; Ac sixteen:30. For Jesus to be stated as lord would not propose that he's exalted over his father Jehovah God.

I'm not sure what you are asking since "lord" and "king" mean the same thing. If you are saying "lord", then the word "king" would seem to be implied (I know that in medieval England, evey ruller was considered to be a "lord", not just the king, but for most modern English speakers this distinction is lost).

He is all of those things and Christians do call him Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Many would call him their personal Lord and Saviour as his is the Lord of their life personally.

Jesus is called the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Wonderful Counsellor, Almighty God. He has all kinds of names. One thing is sure at the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. One day it will happen, it is good to do it willingly.
