Um, that’s the whole point of the ancient document that this thread is about:

I’m quoting the author, who is quoting the ancient text.

“This is one of many occasions on which I have appeared to the peoples of the world...”

Really, I don’t have a problem with it. First off, we know that the promise of Abraham was that his seed would be a blessing among every nation. Further, Israel has been scattered time and time again throughout the earth, and not just the tribe of Judah, most of which is the story and history of the Bible.

You might be defining “chosen” an little more tightly than I would.

There is a difference between Jesus reincarnating to/in various cultures and ages/religions, and the dispersing of peoples/Israelites.

A fascinating study is to research the many revelations of God throughout Scripture and identifying which person of the Godhead is being revealed at the time. One God made known to us as three persons.
