Likewise is "Jesus Christ" a title, not a name of a person; "Joshua/Yeshua/Yehoshua = YHWH saves; "messiah/xristos" = anointed (i.e., "chosen one), the letter to the Philippians says it outright, that he was taken to heaven and given the name above all other names so that all things will bow to him and declare "Jesus Christ is Lord!" (= kyrios). Why would someone's name be above someone else's name? It wouldn't be; "name" here refers to a title and an office, not a given name. The new Cyrus, the new Ptolemy Soter, the new Joshua all in one.
This line of yours: One sacrifices the Israelites for the Jews, while one sacrifices himself for the the Jews" made me think that Christians are told to "follow" Jesus, so like him, they should sacrifice themselves "for the Jews."

Ararat as Eden/origin of people is probably alluded to in Genesis as being the place where Noah's ark landed and humanity began anew.

One possible meaning of Seleucus (Gk: Seleukos) would be "shining white" from Gk selas: light, shiny, bright, etc. and "leukos": white. That would fit in w/ your general thesis.
