Why haven’t the Mormons begun to reoccupy the land?

I don't know what you mean by that?

In post 134 you allude the Book of Mormon as being with the northern kingdom. Ez 34 refers to the two sticks which are the split Israelite nation being reunited in the land. If you believe the LDS is identifiable with the northern kingdom, then there is a duty to return to the one nation and rule with Him, in recognition that Jesus Christ is the King whose rule will never end. The Palestinian Covenant well defines the land.

IMHO, though, all believers other than the seed of Abraham, explicitly the Israelite nation, are of the Gentile nations, who have relationship with God through faith in Christ, upon which God the Holy Spirit regenerates our human spirit and seals us with eternal security. For these reasons I do not understand why anybody would add to Scripture by associating the LDS with Mannasah or Ephraim.
