- MormonismIn Mormon theology, a celestial body considered to be nearest to the throne of God.
He resides in the center of the universe, near the planet Kolob. This planet revolves on its axis once in a thousand of our years, and one revolution of Kolob is a day to the Almighty.
1868, Catherine Van Valkenburg Waite, The Mormon Prophet and His Harem, or, An Authentic History of Brigham Young, His Numerous Wives and Children, Chicago: J. S. Goodman, page 1702 more examples
If you could hie to Kolob in the twinkling of an eye, And then continue onward with that same speed to fly, Do you think that you could ever, through all eternity, Find out the generation where Gods began to be?
1985, William W. Phelps, “If You Could Hie to Kolob”, in Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, →ISBN, →OL, Hymn #284Once in a while, members get Kolob confused with the actual planet on which Heavenly Father resides. They are not the same. As you saw in verse 2, above, Kolob is the planet nearest to the planet on which the Father lives.
