Subject: I cannot read a sealed book |
Bible Note: Joseph Smith was never educated beyond the 6th grade. He was essentially an "unlearned man". This verse has reference to the gold plates, or the Book of Mormon, being delivered to Joseph for the purpose of translation. The translation was made possible through the Power of the Priesthood and use of the Urim and Thummim, which were buried with the plates. The verse that speaks of the learned man was a prophecy of an event that happened almost word for word. Martin Harris brought a paper with some of the characters from the gold plates written on it. An expert examined the characters and authenticated them. When Martin Harris told the expert that the writings came from a record of gold plates, that were in part sealed, the "learned man" said, "I cannot read a sealed book." |
