A fellow teacher showed me this article and asked what I thought. I mean, why not ask the Mormon, who...is strange.
I read the article and it was fascinating, but more for the realization of the thousand times the article had been shared (it is easy to tell how many times an article has been shared when reading it off a smart phone).
The article was about six alien species currently fighting for control of Earth.
I answered; as I was reading, "What? No Kolobians?"
(I guess that is what people from Kolob would be called; I don't know...I just made it up)
There were many teachers in the office. At the end of the semester, we are stuck in the office trying to finish grading. A few teacher's had quizzical looks at my words, obviously wondering what a 'Kolobian' was, and probably trying to remember what movie that might have come from.
I explained about Kolob and shared my testimony after that. Many seemed fascinated by the idea and I showed them the verses:
And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest. And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, 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, it being one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the Lord’s time, according to the reckoning of Kolob. (Abraham 3: 3-4)
My mind works in weird ways. I see an article about aliens and the first thing I think of is Kolob. Does this happen to anyone else?
Not like these aliens though. Kolobians, in my view,
would be more pleasant and full of light, but they
would also share morals and ethics around the universe,
not science and technology (like most every alien encounter)
