Yes, the Lord Jesus came into this world to present himself to the Nation of Israel to be their King and to rule over them from Jerusalem. They rejected and crucified Him (Acts 2:23). God then called Saul, who became Paul, to take the message of salvation to the Gentile world (Romans 11:11). This is was a mystery and will one day end (Romans 11:25) and the Lord Jesus, King of Kings will turn to set up His kingdom to rule and rein over the Jews and the entire world.
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy that Jesus Christ was King and Lord.
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
And John, the writer of Revelation, pens the following about the Lord Jesus Christ, the KING:
Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Yes, Scoffers are among us even to this day as Peter warned (2 Peter 3:3-10). But next the Rapture, then the Tribulation, then the second coming and beginning of the 1000 years (millennium) reign on earth of the Lord Jesus, followed by the Great White Throne Judgement and then Eternity.
2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
