June 5, 2012 - Mormons and Jews

[pam]

You [Jews] have been driven, robbed, and ravished – so have we. You have been persecuted, mistreated, misunderstood – so have we. Why? We were driven from our homes to desolation beyond the boundaries of the United States. You, too, have been driven. Why?

“What a power we could be in the world if we [Mormons and Jews] were united... the complete accomplishment of our mutual and heaven-assigned responsibilities involves our becoming united (as the descendants of Joseph) with the descendants of Judah (the Jewish people) in the fulfillment of the promises given by the Lord to Abraham and renewed upon the heads of Isaac and Jacob, that through them and their seed all nations of the earth would be blessed.”

Mormons and Jews are closely tied. Maybe that's why I've always felt a type of kinship with them. I think we have a great deal more in common than we realize. That, and without them, important prophecies can't be fulfilled.

We need only look in the Scriptures to see how Heavenly Father feels about the Jews.

I, too, have felt a type of kinship with them as well.

It is hard to find something we don't have in common with the Jews.

To get a taste of their struggles, which were greater then ours, read Night.

It is hard to find something we don't have in common with the Jews.

Not if you consider politics. In that case, it's actually quite easy.
