The interpretation you hold is that Jesus uncrowns Himself as King of kings because He is to be subject to the Father. I see no ground for subjection to the Father calling for this.
the purpose according to Paul, is to
'hand over the kingdom to his father....so God may be all things to all persons'
God is the supreme authority, always has been and always will. Jesus recognizes his authority as Supreme Ruler which is why Jesus 'hands back' the kingdom.

2.) The THRONE of the Son of God is "forever and ever". It is not terminated after the millennial kingdom. Rather His throne is unto eternity.
there is no reason why Jesus cannot have his own throne...in fact God crowns him with such a thrown when he grants him 'immortality' which is why the scriptures say that Jesus is king forever.
But with regard to mankind, it is to Jehovah God who rightfully is their ruler. Jesus does not need to be the Supreme ruler over mankind forever.
Your Recovery Version footnote explains it exactly as I have stated above:
He as the Son of God, along with His delivering of the kingdom back to God the Father (v.24), will also subject Himself in His divinity to God. This indicates the Son's absolute subjection and subordination to the Father, which exalts the Father that God teh Father may be all in all.
If the purpose of the kingdom is for God to be in all, then right now God is not in all... that wont happen until Jesus Kingdom is handed back to God.
So my question stands.... when that happens, will you then turn your devotion to Jehovah and worship him rather then Jesus?
