It’s times like these when it’s clear Jesus should have been born in the south, then He would have said y’all and cleared it all up.

No real southerner would ever use y’all as a singular noun. That’s gospel. :-)
Millions may believe as you do, but millions also believe as I do. It seems as though you are using other scripture and commentary by theologians to back your conclusion, because it is still not clear from the scripture alone. And Jesus said he wouldn’t choose who was first in heaven. I don’t recall him mentioning anything about choosing who would be first on earth.
