An Earth example of using the word Lord to describe a leadership body would be The House of Lords in England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lords That's my thinking anyway. Any thoughts?
Trés interesting CBSG4ever, I like your thinking here !
Certainly, the Pharoahs were Gods on Earth, or representatives of Gods On Earth. I think all ancient civilizations revered their Kings of old as Gods and leaders.

They were the ones to set the example of Godliness for their people, to bring Heaven down to Earth.
