No you missed what I asked. If Jacob today is modern day Israel then who is their brother Esau.

I will clarify further.

It is written that the 2 Houses of Israel will not be rejoined until the second advent of Christ. So we have the kingdom of Judah known.

Now Esau is said to be a nation serving his brother.

This being the case we should be able to identify who modern day Esau is and who the 10 tribes are based upon status of what we are told would be. Correct?

We know Esau married Canaanite women. We know he founded Edom. We know Edom was in what we now call southern Jordan. We know his descendants made war on the children of Israel. The Edomites have disappeared and their language is forgotten. Whether any genetic descendants remain is a secret thing.
