I am SPEFICALLY responding to the OP--"Who is "Lord" of the NT". I am basically exposing that there is really little relevance to the interpretation "and immediately he will send it back here."
The fundamental issue is the word "Lord" in the NT.
Is Jesus "Lord" in the NT?
It is easily shown that in the NT when the word "Lord", God and Jesus are in the very same verses that the Lord specifically and directly refers to Jesus.
