“And I have made the earth rich, and behold it is my footstool, wherefore, again I will stand upon it.” (D&C 38:17.) … It will move in harmony with mighty Kolob once more. It will flee this benighted solar system for the distant reaches of galactic space … Joseph Smith confirmed this point when he said that this earth “will be rolled back into the presence of God, and crowned with celestial glory” … On several occasions, Brigham Young stated the same idea: “When [the earth] is celestialized it will go back into the presence of God, where it was first framed” … The cycle will be complete. Having begun its career “near the throne of our Father in Heaven” or, in other words, “near the planet Kolob,” Earth will return to her “native place.” However, she—like her celestial inhabitants—will be far more exalted and far more glorious in returning to the Father’s presence than she had been when departing from it.Share
