The idea that readers of the Book of Mormon will meet its original authors face-to-face at the great day of judgment was expressed by both Nephi and Moroni (see 2 Nephi 33:11–15, Ether 12:38–39, Moroni 10:27–29). Who was Nephi writing to when he wrote, “I bid you an everlasting farewell”? (2 Nephi 33:13–14).
