The Word Deliverer is an unnamed man in Nephi’s prophecy of the latter-day coming forth of a sealed book. The book contains a revelation from the beginning of the world to its end, and its sealed portion is kept from the world until the Lord’s own time (2 Nephi 27:6-10). The book is delivered to this man, who delivers its words to another but does not deliver the sealed portion or the book itself (2 Nephi 27:9). The day will come when the sealed words are read upon the house tops by the power of Christ (2 Nephi 27:11).
At his hand the book is shown to three witnesses, who behold it by the power of God and testify to its truth, besides others according to the will of God; the Lord establishes his word in the mouth of as many witnesses as he sees fit (2 Nephi 27:12-14). The Lord instructs him to take the unsealed words and deliver them to another to show to the learned, asking them to read them. The learned ask for the book, are told it is sealed, and say they cannot read it (2 Nephi 27:15-18). The Lord then delivers the book again to one who is not learned, and instructs that man to read the words himself (2 Nephi 27:19-20). The Lord reserves the sealed things to bring forth in his own due time (2 Nephi 27:21). After reading the words and obtaining the promised witnesses, he is to seal up the book again and hide it until the Lord sees fit to reveal all things (2 Nephi 27:22).
The prophecy does not name the man. Readers connect the sequence with the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, in which Martin Harris carried a transcript of characters from the plates to scholars including Charles Anthon, and the unlearned Joseph Smith translated the record (2 Nephi 27:9).
