The name “Lord of lords” expresses the truth that God is supreme over every other ruler and authority. It is related to other biblical names of God that speak of His supremacy over spiritual entities and the rulers of the world. It often appears alongside those similar names for God: God of gods (Deut. 10:17; Ps. 136:2; Dan. 11:36), Lord of kings (Dan. 2:47), and King of kings (1 Tim. 6:15; Rev. 17:14; 19:16). Jesus Christ is also called the ruler (or prince, KJV) of the kings of the earth (Rev. 1:5).
