How should we treat the Jews - and the rest of the House of Israel?

 

... which is a very good question, remembering, as you learned in reading about the House of Israel, the House if Israel isn't made up of just the Jews - it includes the Jews, the modern-day State of Israel, the Native American, any other group the Lord has led away from the main group of Israelites, and anyone who has joined the Church of Jesus Christ and entered into covenants with Him (not just 'commitments' or 'promises') ...

 

But first, let's look at part of the covenant made with Abraham and passed to all the Children of Israel:

 

Genesis 12:2-3 - "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

 

Now to the Book of Mormon...

 

1 Nephi 21:26 - (quoting Isaiah) "And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

 

1 Nephi 22:14 - "And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another… all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed… shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it."

 

2 Nephi 6:12-13 - they that fight against Zion and the covenant people of the Lord shall lick up the dust of their feet

 

2 Nephi 10:13-22 … he that fighteth against Zion shall perish… I will fulfil my promises which I have made… great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon the isles of the sea;

 

2 Nephi 20:24-27 … O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid

 

2 Nephi 27:3-5 … (quoting Isaiah 29) all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision; yea, it shall be unto them, even as unto a hungry man which dreameth, and behold he eateth but he awaketh and his soul is empty; or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth, and behold he drinketh but he awaketh and behold he is faint… ye shall be drunken but not with wine, ye shall stagger but not with strong drink… the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep.

 

2 Nephi 29:4-5, 14 - what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? … but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them. But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people... And I will show unto them that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham that I would remember his seed forever.

 

3 Nephi 29:8-9 … ye need not any longer hiss, nor spurn, nor make game of the Jews, nor any of the remnant of the house of Israel… the Lord remembereth his covenant
