If you asked me a hypothetical question like this, I would consider it and answer it if such a condition really existed. Convoluted or not, you know what I said.

Now, why should I answer the question as if the condition existed, when it doesn't?

It is only because you reject the Tribulation (Jacobs trouble-Jer.30:7) that you think this is relevent.

If that many people were in fact Israelites, they would still be killed (2/3-Zech.13:9) and would be on the verge of annihilation when the Lord returns to save them. (Zech.8:13)

Now, why should I answer the question as if the condition existed, when it doesn't?

That is how a hypothetical is avoided by a person who think it may be possibly damaging to his position.

I'm not interested in positions as such. I'm interested in finding the truth.

I'm asking you to assume the condition exits. That is the nature of a hypothetical. I want to know if, in your opinion, that if this fantasy (as you like to term it) condition exists, would it be a good thing for the Jews existing today.

Go ahead, give me the hypothetical that the northern tribes returned and merged with Judah, and the remnants are all that is left of Israel today, and, even though I don't buy it any more than you buy the other, and I will not avoid the question.

I simply ask you for the same honesty.
