Turns out that Mormons believe that modern Jews are the tribe of Judah (which is the ruling tribe of the twelve tribes of Israel). So Mormons believe that Jews are supposed to be the rulers of this world until the second coming of Jesus. Sources: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/gs/jews Jews can be (1) descendants of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, (2) people of the ancient southern kingdom of Judah, or (3) people who practice the religion, lifestyles, and traditions of Judaism but may or may not be Jewish by birth. It has become customary to use the word Jew to refer to all the descendants of Jacob, but this is a mistake. It should be limited to those of the kingdom of Judah or, more especially today, those of the tribe of Judah and his associates. The sceptre (symbol of being rulers) shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh (Jesus) come, Gen. 49:10. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/gs/judah Jacob blessed Judah that he would be a natural leader among the sons of Jacob and that Shiloh (Jesus Christ) would be his descendant (Gen. 49:10).

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Judah "the tribe of Judah was the leading tribe of the Kingdom of Judah. David and the royal line belonged to the tribe, and the line continued even after the fall of the Kingdom of Judah in the Exilarchs. The traditional Jewish belief is that the (Jewish) Messiah will be of the Davidic line"
