In its revolutions as a great governing sphere, Kolob’s time is based upon celestial time. There is a system of celestial time; and below this there are other systems based upon the speed of rotation of the given planet or star. Joseph Smith therefore gave an affirmative reply to the question: “Is not the reckoning of God’s time, angel’s time, prophet’s time, and man’s time, according to the planet on which they reside?” God explained to Abraham “that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning.” In comparing the time schedule of Kolob to that of the earth, Joseph Smith wrote: “One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth.” The earth therefore revolves 365,250 times, counting its revolutions during leap years, while Kolob is rotating but once.Share
