Get over yourself, Davy. God is able to be unbiased. I doubt that the same thing can be said of you, since you're using the worldly yardstick.

Jesus will fill that role when He Returns, as the King of the world.
There is no false Jewish Messiah, that idea is just another theory made to suit the rapture lie.
Right; The AC comes in his own name, he doesn't make out to be the Messiah, he sits in the Temple and declares himself to be god! Matthew 24:13
The ten tribes are not "lost". God knows who each one is - inside of and outside of Israel.It is impossible for the ten lost tribes to even know... to return, since they are NOT Jews, and lost their heritage as Israel. I covered this point in an earlier post from Hosea 2 where God said they would lose their heritage of the feast days, new moons, and sabbaths. Why have you denied His Word about that?
Just a plain reading of Ezekiel 37, makes it easy to see that the two 'sticks' have not joined as yet.It is easy to see hat the two sticks have be joined together.
No, He sent the Apostles to do that and they have been amazingly successful, by the millions of Christians, peoples from every race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10Jesus did not travel outside of the land of Israel.
The Jewish people have no proof of their ancestry. In fact what historical records there are; seem to prove they came from many and varied ancestries.Even to today, most Jews are not sure of what tribe they belong to.
They are murdered first and their case is plainly a one off.Not the whole business of rapture is a lie, since the two witnesses are taken up in a cloud,
In Revelation 13:11-13But where does Jesus ever talk about some guy pretending to be god?
The two sitcks have been joined together. It shows by the map. Anyone can see it and it doesn't need an interpretation.Just a plain reading of Ezekiel 37, makes it easy to see that the two 'sticks' have not joined as yet.
The great spiritual blessings of God to His faithful people, remain unfulfilled.
History lesson; The promotion of a Jewish state in Palestine began in 1898.Israel became a nation - one nation again - in a single day

Conquerers don't leave the land vacant so that wild animals increase, nor do they stop wanting the farmers to farm. The armies and rich people would have been hauled off, along with the ruling class and priesthood. Poor people were left in the land as slaves.
Yikes! I completely forgot about Levi... which makes Matthew 23:37-38 even more of a problem.
Josephus seems to be paraphrasing Esdras... some of which I find extremely hinky. But Jesus sent the Revelation letters to the churches of Asia, not across the Euphrates.
History lesson; The promotion of a Jewish state in Palestine began in 1898.
50 years later the State of Israel was ratified by the UN.
If you actually read Isaiah 66:7-14, you would know that that prophecy cannot apply to the Israel of today.
Your map is meaningless.
The ten tribes are not "lost". God knows who each one is - inside of and outside of Israel.
Matthew 15:24 24He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
Obviously, there were persons from all twelve tribes in Israel - as Jesus did not travel outside of the land of Israel. And the issue was not lost in heritage, but in relation to being right with God. The identity of who belonged to each tribe has gottened blurred over the course of time because they intermarried with each other. Even to today, most Jews are not sure of what tribe they belong to.
They are murdered first and their case is plainly a one off.
Thinking they prove or even point to; a general rapture of the Church, is simply error.
In Revelation 13:11-13
Thinking there will be a false Messiah for the Jews, contradicts the fact of their forthcoming Judgement, where only a remnant will survive. The few Christian Jews who do, will join with their brethren, as they all go to live in all of the holy Land. Jeremiah 50:4-5
And you refer to what conquerers do and rich people and armies in your post and say I'm focused on a worldy yardstick?
I pretty much find useless your post below (especially your bias against Josephus and supposed reference to him and Esdras. In that you were not following Scripture under discussion but only throwing out your bias:
Jacob Blesses Ephraim
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become fulness of the nations. Genesis 48:19
fulness of the nations / Melo haGoyim
Melo KJV - full (12x), fulness (8x), all that is therein (7x), all (2x), fill (2x), handful (2x), multitude (2x), handful (with H7062) (1x), handfuls (with H2651) (1x).
Gen 48:19 LXX Greek Septuagint - ἔσται εἰς πλῆθος (Plethos G4128) ἐθνῶν (Ethnos/ n - G1484)
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel (House of Judah), until the fulness of the Ethnon be come in. Rom 11:25
Rom 11:25 πλήρωμα (Pleroma G4138) τῶν ἐθνῶν (Ethnos / n - G1484) εἰσέλθῃ - be come in
Pleroma - KJV fulness (13x), full (1x), fulfilling (1x), which is put in to fill up (1x), pierce that filled up (1x).
The Fulness of the People are "Ephraim" - In Who's hand is the Stick of Joseph - Israel
The Fulness of the People/Nations: Ethnon - When this word is translated as gentiles (It's a false interpretation) that does not convey the true meaning of Ethnos. The same thing goes with the synonymous Hebrew word Goyim when it is mis-translated as "heathen: or anything other than its true Biblical meaning - People or Nations
Say unto them, Thus saith Adonai YHWH; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in Mine Hand.
And I will make them one Goy in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one King shall be King to them all: and they shall be no more two Goyim, neither shall they be divided into two Kingdoms any more at all. Ezekiel 37:19,22
Those that are not Jewish, who are in Messiah are a part of the Stick of Joseph.
There is no such thing as a "gentile" church in the Bible
The New Covenant is with the House of Israel and Judah ~ Jeremiah 31:31-33 Hebrew 8:8-10
The House/Family you have become a part of, If you are in Messiah. Galatians 3:29, Isaiah 41:8, Ephesians 2:11-12
James in Hebrew is Jacob
Luke 1:33 And He shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; And of His Kingdom there shall be no end.
Jacob 1:1 Jacob...To the Twelve Tribes scattered abroad...
The house of Judah is one fold of Israel with Benjamins and some Levis - Southern Kingdom, thus Israel (The only Israel representing in the first century ~ ( YESHUA laid His life down for Two Folds) The House of Judah and the House of Israel (Northern Kingdom), This is why He said that the Father Loved Him
John 10:16
And other sheep (House of Israel) I have, which are not of this fold (House of Judah): them also I must bring, and they shall hear My Voice; and there shall be one Fold , and one Shepherd.
17
Therefore doth My Father Love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.
The Stick of Joseph is the Northern Kingdom (10 Tribes)
The Stick of Judah is the Southern Kingdom
The ten tribes are not "lost". God knows who each one is - inside of and outside of Israel.
Matthew 15:24 24He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."

You are in denial because you are misinterpreting Ezekiel 37 thinking they have to be Christians before it is one nation again. But Ezekiel 38/39 shows that first they become one nation again, then Gog/Magog takes places, and following Gog/Magog is when they become Christians.
Israel became a nation - one nation again - in a single day.
