Zech 14:9
In the day that Jehovah, the Only [true God], is united with a mortal personality, Jehovah shall be king over the earth, [as well as king of heaven].

“Lord” is “Jehovah”
The Hebrew word translated “one” can also be translated “united,” or “only.”
Study
Jehovah “took on,” “clothed” himself with the skin (personality) of Jesus of Nazareth.
In this world, the woman takes the name of her husband, but in the Spirit world, the Spirit takes the name of the earthen personality, because Spirit wants an identity in this lower world.
In the higher worlds, Jehovah and the personality of Jesus of Nazareth are united, but not as a 50-50 mixture. On the one hand the great and invisible God, Jehovah, acquired a skin, an identity in this world, and the personality of Jesus of Nazareth inherited eternal life for his personal soul, and immortality for his material body.
In this world, we see only the personality of Jesus because we are incapable of seeing Jehovah, the One who stands behind him. We can see only Jehovah’s skin, whose name is “Jesus.” But do we call a man by the name of his skin and not acknowledge all of the blood and organs inside of him? Do we separate a man from his skin?
It is a great mystery that Jehovah and his skin are united when viewed from the world above, but from the perspective of this world we see only Jesus, and thus, the uninitiated, think that Jehovah’s skin is God. But the Scripture is clear to those who are capable of understanding, that the spiritual intellectual soul of Adam, mankind, joined to a human personal soul (personality) is Jehovah’s skin, and that the reality of God is God’s substance, not the skin that covers it.
God has always existed, and has no beginning and no end, but Adam/mankind and his earthen personalities are created and, thus, have a beginning and an end.
The end of mortal mankind, the creation of God, is to be joined to the One who created him and, thus, absorbed into the immortality and immortal world of the Creator. Yet, he retains his individual identity, Jesus.
A paradox, indeed, as Paul explains through the mystery of marriage. “A man and his wife are one flesh,” he says, yet they are two distinct personalities, and, in this world, the man and his wife each has his and her own material body as well. But not so in the world above, where the male Spirit marries the female Adam and his personality and they dwell together in One material body in the world below.
So you are correct, Jesus is not God. He is Adam joined to an earthen personal soul, but, nerveless, Jehovah and the personality of Jesus of Nazareth are “united” as a man is One with his skin.
A paradox, indeed. Jehovah and the personality of Jesus of Nazareth are United. They are One: Jehovah and his skin, or Jehovah and his Personal Name, or Jehovah and his Personality, are One. There is only One God, and he is United with his Name, or his personal identity in this world.
Look at it this way, “Jehovah” becomes the surname, and “Jesus,” the given name: Jesus, Son of Jehovah, or Jesus, Son of God.
Scripturally speaking, a man and his son share the same “spiritual soul,” or “higher soul.” Each has his own personal soul (personality), but they share the same “higher soul.” The Father and the Son are “One Spiritual Soul,” but two personal souls (Personalities). So, in the spiritual world, they are One higher soul, but in this world they are two personalities.
But Jehovah does not have a personal soul (personality), other than the one that he acquired in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.
It is like the union of the personality to a fetus still in the womb.
