Joseph Smith and the early Mormon Church believed Jews should return to Israel



Joseph Smith and the early Mormon Church believed Jews should return to Israel.

At the dedication of our first temple in 1836, Joseph Smith — the first president of the Church — asked that “the children of Judah may begin to return to the lands which thou didst give to Abraham, their father.” In 1844, Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were murdered by an Illinois mob. A year later, the leaders of the church issued a “Proclamation to the World.” It said, in part, “The Jews among all nations are commanded to prepare to return to Jerusalem in Palestine, and to rebuild that city to the Lord.  And also to organize and establish their own political government under their own rulers, judges, and governors in that country.”
