Episode 74: God lives on a planet called Kolob

Abraham 3-5

3 ¹ I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim that God had given me. ² And I saw the stars, one of which was nearest to God's throne. ³ The Lord said to me, "The bright star is Kolob, because it is near me." 4 The Lord said to me by the Urim and Thummim, “On Kolob, a day is 1000 years.”

¹³ God said to me,

This is Shinehah, the sun; and Olea, the moon. Kolob is a star, and Kokaubeam are the stars. ¹⁶ Kolob is the greatest of all the Kokaubeam, because it is the nearest to me.

²⁴ Among them there stood someone who looked like God, and he said, We'll take these materials and make an earth where these can live.

²⁵ But first we'll test them here to see if they will do what God commands.
