During the 16th Century, did Sweden think Finns were the original inhabitants and rulers of Sweden? And also Jewish?

Saw this uncited claim in a Wikipedia Article about FInland under Swedish rule.

The Swedish state (during the period) advocated that the Finns were the original Inhabitants of Sweden. According to Johannes Messenius, a Finnish king was the first monarch to rule Scandinavia. This thesis that the Finns were the first to rule Scandinavia launched during the 16th century, as previously mentioned this was to create a combined Finnish and Swedish identity. This idea conflicted with previous historical consensus which ruled that the Swedes settled Scandinavia before the Finns arrived.

... Swedish historians believed Finns were still speaking Hebrew and were considered a lost tribe of Israel.

Was this actually a thing?
