In the eternity of matter, the Mormons have from the first believed ; but they have supposed that the formation of worlds and systems had definite dates, although they are unknown to us. Far away in the immensity of space is "KOLOB" the great and glorious sun of suns, the abode of the First Principle of Godhead of which we can form any conception. Around that Sun, countless other systems revolve, of which ours is one. That Sun itself may be only one of many other systems whose origin and existence is lost in inconceivable space, and concerning which we can form no just realisation while in this finite state. From the First Source in "KOLOB" other gods have proceeded in precisely the same way as genealogies and "family-trees" have been continued on earth. Each new Patriarchal "god" has formed his own earth out of the aggregation of matter; and over that earth he reigns.
