So my conclusion at this point after dwelling on the matter is that God, the father, is never called lord in the bible. That is Jesus' role. But that will disappear one day and God will be all in all. At this stage of my investigation it is my opinion that it was never God's intent for there to be lord's and subjects, but that needful hierarchy came into being because of rebellion against God's will. Once rebellion has been completely subdued, there will no longer be any need for lordships. I think I finally now understand this verse.
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28
