How would Christianity have evolved today alongside with other religions if Adam, Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus had lived for 969 years just like Methuselah did?

According to the Orthodox Tewahedo Bible, the largest Biblical canon book up to date in traditional Christendom, God had made seven known covenants with these seven named individuals. If we give these seven known individuals the same lifespan as Methuselah, the longest lived person in the Bible, would that have changed Christianity today and all other religions that Christianity interacts with?

So in this what-if scenario, United Kingdom of Israel didn’t split into two rivalry kingdoms; Northern Kingdom of Samaria and Southern Kingdom of Judah because King Rehoboam wasn't a despot and neither are anyone of the following Israelite kings. Because of that, this united monarchy somehow managed to survive until the time of Roman Empire where Jesus was born, and since Israelite didn't split into Jews and Samaritans, Jesus in this what-if scenario is not a Jew but an Israelite. How would the encounter between the Israelites and the Romans be different? Lastly how would Christianity have evolved from there? I do apologize for the very long essay!

Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy)
