Oh didn't you know? Us Christians are the 2nd chosen people. We're a little lower than the "favored" chosen. You see? It's that simple.
For your own benefit I say the following about that...
Per Old Testament and even secular history, the scattered northern ten tribes of Israel years into their captivity north of Israel to Assyria and the lands of the Medes, starting migrating westward across the Caucasus Mountains, becoming known as Caucasians, and The Gospel was preached to them and the majority of them believed. Their first Churches were in the areas of ancient Greece and Cappadocia (modern Turkey) where the Church at Antioch and Revelation seven Churches were for example. The majority of ten tribes then later migrated westward into Europe.
Lord Jesus had said that He was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the
"house of Israel". After God split the old kingdom of Israel into two separate peoples and nations per 1 Kings 11 forward, that title of
"house of Israel" began to apply ONLY to the ten northern tribes of Israel.
Some Biblically illiterate folks try to claim that title is meant for the Jews, or for all Israel, when it is not. After the split, the southern
"kingdom of Judah", also known in God's Word as the
"house of Judah", meant only the JEWS of the southern three tribes Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, their capital city at Jerusalem.
God scattered the ten tribe northern
"house of Israel" out of the holy land first because of their idol worship. Only the Jews of the
"house of Judah" in the southern lands were left, and still were following God. About 120 years after the ten northern tribes had been removed, the "house of Judah" also fell away, and God brought the king of Babylon upon them who destroyed Jerusalem and Solomon's temple. Only a small remnant of these Jews returned to Jerusalem to build it again, and the 2nd temple that was standing in Lord Jesus' day.
The ten northern tribes of Israel once scattered to Assyria, took Gentile names and customs while captive there. They never returned to the holy land as a people, even as it still is to this day. Many Jewish scholars even believe the ten tribes are forever LOST, no more, and they use the idea that they have mixed beyond their genealogy of old Israel instead with the Gentiles (which is not completely true, since God prophesied of their eventual return under Lord Jesus).
There exists in the ancient Assyrian cuneiform clay tablet records kept by the kings of Assyria of what the Assyrians called the captive ten tribes of Israel (see
Royal Correspondence of the Assyrian Empire, originally translated by University of Michigan professor Leroy Waterman in the 1930's.) From names that the Assyrians called the ten tribes in captivity, those names became links to the Cimmerian tribes which the secular science of Anthropology has studied. The problem is Anthropology has had difficulty determining just where those Cimmerian tribes originated. They know the Cimmerians migrated from the east, but you know how those in science look at religion and The Bible. They won't consider those Cimmerians represent later migrations by the ten lost tribes of Israel. Same with the group of Scythians that migrated westward into Asia Minor and Europe taking a southerly route instead of the Caucasus route.
In the Book of Hosea, God revealed what would happen to the scattered ten tribes of Israel. He said He would hedge up their paths so they wouldn't find their way back (back to the holy land). And He would let them have the full weight of their Baal idol worship they forgot Him for. He said He would lead them into the "
wilderness". And eventually there, He would given them a New Covenant. That literally happened to the scattered ten tribes of Israel. In Deuteronomy 4 and 28 God had previously warned the children of Israel what He would do to them if they rebelled against Him with worshiping idols. He would scatter them among the Gentiles losing their heritage as God's people. This happened literally to the ten tribes, as they took new names, pagan names, and continued their false Baal idol worship in that "wilderness" (new lands they were scattered to). One can search European history about all the false gods and idols that its peoples used to worship before The Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached to them. Hollywood loves to still make movies about those idol worship times of old Asia Minor and Europe.
In the 13th century
Declaration of Arbroath (Declaration of Independence) by the Scottish nobles, they admitted their heritage from Israel, having migrated long ago from the east to the Isles. The Scottish nobles, just as the kings of Ireland before them, would anoint their kings with oil during their inauguration. Same has been done with the Christian kings and queens in European history.
