This is an interesting perspective, but I want to bring the discussion back up to salvation and the promise of Christ itself.
# The jew rejects Christ from **knowledge**. The pagan rejects Christ from ignorance.
To me, that will always be stronger. The video highlights something important, however, which is that “the jews” we know today became/were/are an offshoot–a corruption–of the Hebrews of the Old Testament. This branching happened before Christ’s birth, of course, otherwise He wouldn’t have called them out on it in the Gospels (and they couldn’t have killed Him in the first place). It’s just that after 70 AD and 136 AD there *aren’t* any other groups left. They either developed into Christians or they became the “jews” we know today.
They might be descended from some people who are Israelites, but they have non-Adamic ancestors, which excludes them from eternal life which all Adamites have unconditionally. They're not Christ's sheep, they're not God's creation.
Josephus explains in book 13 that Idumeans were integrated into Judea. They're Esau's descendants, and because Esau was a race mixer, it means that his children are not even Adamites. It's how you get this in Israel who are not OF Israel.
They couldn't understand Him because they were not His sheep, not out of knowledge.
