And it came to pass that I saw the heavens open; and an angel came down and stood before me; and he said unto me: Nephi, what beholdest thou?
It is interesting to me that one messenger departed in the middle of Nephi's vision and another came to deliver another part of the lesson. The Lord brings different people into our lives at different times to deliver messages and lessons to us. Perhaps it is the special relationship we create with a person that allows us to hear a message that we would ignore from anyone else. Maybe it is an experience that person had that makes the lesson more relevant to us. Or maybe it is just the right time in our lives.
On the other hand, we may be that special messenger whom the Lord has prepared to teach someone in a unique way that the other person is prepared to receive.
The point is that God uses many people to teach us, and He uses us to teach many people. It is the celestial version of the World Wide Web. We can all be a part of it if we are prepared, if we listen, and if we obey.
