He was known as king of the Jews,the one who was to come and establish the kingdom of God. But why was he limited to jewish history only? I mean why he was not revealed in many parts of the world ( say China or Europe) at the same time as being GOd'redeemer.

Hes not my king or G-d. Judaism is a multivariate religion with many different viewpoints.

And your thought is severally flawed. Consider revising and editing.

Christianity is a big big believer of Jesus. I suggest sleep we well. Its late in the States.

Jesus's salvation applies to all, not just he Jews. God was not going to have Jesus die for each group of people, culture, race, nationality, etc. Jesus died once for all (Romans 6:10). By his singular death, he will bring together all people as one. God's purpose is unity.

The King of the Jews will be known as the "King of kings and Lord of lords" and will reign over all the earth.

God had prophesied from a time before there was a Jew that the kingship will be of the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10).

throughout he old testament the hebrew nation was promised a deliverer from the time of abraham , since then the jews have looked for a kingly military general type jesus to over throw rome because they missed the prophecies about the lamb to the slaughter etc: in isiah, the jews were supposed to proclaim him as the christ to the rest of the world , they didn't so god gave the job to the gentiles
consider the parable of the party in matt 22,
the servants invited the first group - who didn't want to come - so the master said go invite everybody else.

all who accept the gift of salvation that jesus offers are 'spiritual 'jews & sons of abraham . hence gods promise to abraham that he become the father of many nations & people
hope this helps
cheers:
paul :-}

Apple of God's eye, the entire Old Testament is the nation of Israel. But when They rejected and crucified Jesus, and rejected Paul's preaching, God turn to the Gentiles:

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

You must already know that rational explanations and empirical reality are foreign concepts to believers. They do follow the rules that apply in the reality-based world.

Not that I even care to answer for them, but your question goes to the root of the animosity that exists between Jews and Christians (the Catholic Church in particular is openly hostile to the Jewish people). In America, conservative Christians use Israel politically to justify their desire to kill Muslims, who they still hate for occupying their holy land.

However, they also look forward to Jesus burning the Jews and casting them to hell upon his return. They passionately believe that, even though they are not related to Jesus biologically, culturally, linguistically, politically, philosophically, or geographically (while the Semitic Jews and Palestinians are so related) and are separated from him by 2000 years, they are somehow the chosen people who God only speaks to, cares about, and will allow into heaven.

They do not even seem to notice that the two major parts of their bible (the Old and New Testaments) deal with two very different Gods (or one very schizophrenic God [like the Sybil of gods]). It also does not bother them that their holy book is called the King James Bible (which any intelligent person would take as a clue that it was written by man and not God). They love fossil fuels, but they do not believe in fossils or the physical, geological, and chemical processes that create them. But why should they? They believe the mythological folk tales about Noah, Jonah, and Methuselah, etc.
