In Latter-day Saint (LDS) theology, Kolob is described as a star or planet that is closest to God. It is mentioned in the Book of Abraham, a part of the Pearl of Great Price, which is a sacred text in the LDS faith. Kolob is believed to represent the highest degree of glory and is associated with the concept of time, where one day on Kolob is equivalent to a thousand years on Earth. Kolob is often used symbolically to illustrate the relationship between God and His creations. The teachings about Kolob emphasize the belief in a divine hierarchy and the eternal nature of existence. This celestial body serves as a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the divine order within it.
