Joseph Smith, the first Mormon prophet, stands next to Christ (Smith now being one of the Gods of his generation), and Christ stands next to Adam. Above the latter is Jehovah, and above Jehovah is Elohim, who is the highest God of whom we in this world have any knowledge. Elohim lives in the planet Kolob, which is near the centre of our system; it revolves on its axis once in a thousand years—hence the biblical statement that "a thousand years are but a day in Thy house."
