He never said it himself? I can’t stand by your “theory”. If the members of the church are all of the tribe of Ephraim than what about the nursing mothers and fathers who are gentiles. Who are to teach the gospel to the scattered House of Israel? 1 Nephi 21-22:

22 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,
and their queens thy nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with
their face towards the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou
shalt know that I am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Wasn’t the standard the Book of Mormon? Yet, they are called Gentiles? Hmmmm interesting.

1 Nephi 22:6-9

6 Nevertheless, after they shall be nursed by the Gentiles, and the Lord has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard, and their children
have been carried in their arms, and their daughters have been carried
upon their shoulders, behold these things of which are spoken are
temporal; for thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers; and
it meaneth us in the days to come, and also all our brethren who are of
the house of Israel.

7 And
it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of Israel have
been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God will raise up a mighty
nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon the face of this land; and by them shall our seed be scattered.

8 And after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth unto our seed; wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders.

9 And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
