I hope I'm not digressing too much from the original post, but I think the iron rod as the word of God can be interpreted at least 2 different ways.

"I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God" (1 Nephi 11:25).

On one level, the iron rod as the word of God represents the scriptures. (Words of God that you are reading secondhand through a prophet.)

On another level, the iron rod as the word of God represents the actual words of God speaking directly to you. (No middleman.)
