==== Isaiah and the Charles Anthon visit ==== Second Nephi 27 quotes a prophecy from Isaiah 29 in which the disregarded messages from prophets are compared to a sealed book. The book is delivered to "one who is learned," who says, "I cannot [read it] for it is sealed." In the [[Pearl of Great Price (Mormonism)|Pearl of Great Price]], another Latter-day Saint book of scripture, [[Martin Harris (Latter Day Saints)|Martin Harris]]'s visit to professor [[Charles Anthon]] with copied characters from the Book of Mormon is recorded. While records of the event vary between Anthon and Harris, Anthon's response as reported by Harris was "I cannot read a sealed book." Many Latter-day Saints see this visit as fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|1983|pp=45β46|}}; {{harvnb|Smith|Thomasson|Welch|1992|p=73}}</ref>
