The actual existence of the star or planet Kolob is questionable. It is part of the Mormon bible and is said to have 1,000 year long days. The size is not known.
really big
The Ark is the brightest star in the big dipper
A star distance from earth
the star's distance from earth?? i guess
when a big star explodes it makes a supper nova if the star gets big enough it will collapse and create a black hole
Kolob is a star mentioned in the Book of Abraham as being nearest to the throne of Jesus. However, at that time, there wasn't any real distinction between planets and stars,No other reference is made.If it is a star or planet, then which one is anyone's guess.
Scientists say that VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star we know so basically VY Canis Majoris is bigger than Kolob.
Kolob is mentioned in five verses of Mormon scripture, all in the book of Abraham. These verses are Abraham 3:3, 3:4, 3:9, 3:16 and 5:13. These verses say that Kolob is the greatest star, and is 'nearest to the throne of God'. Kolob follows God's time (1000 years as a single day, according to 2 Peter 3:8).Kolob is rarely brought up in worship services or doctrinal discussions both because very little is known about it, and because it has no bearing on one's salvation. The hymnbook used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the mainstream Mormon church) contains one hymn about Kolob which is not often sung. You can see that hymn along with all the scripture verses about Kolob at the "Related Links" below.Another answer:Compare the Arabic word Qalb (also anglicized Qolob and Kolob). A star in the Ursa Minor constellation, just barely the second brightest, and appropriately the Beta, star in Ursa Minor, it represents the top front bowl star of the Little Dipper. Just a bit of trivia some might find interesting.
If You Could Hie to Kolob was created in 1842.
Kolob is not a real place, therefor I am unable to answer this question.
The Book of Abraham tells us that Kolob is nearest to the throne of God. Where exactly that is is anyone's guess. Also Kolob in ancient Hebrew means "voice of father." Kol means voice, Ab means father (as in Abraham, pronounced "ob raham"). Kolob could be a reference to Christ.
The planet Kolob is mentioned in a less-often used book of scripture called the Book of Abraham, in the Pearl of Great Price. This is everything that Mormons know about Kolob: -Kolob is the greatest of the governing planets and is near to the place of God (Abraham 3:3) -Kolob is according to the Lords time, that is, a day on Kolob is a thousand years on earth (Abraham 3:4) -Kolob governs all the planets in the same order as earth, and is nigh unto the throne of God (Abraham 3:9) -Kolob is the greatest because it is the nearest to God (Abraham 3:16) -The time of Kolob was used on earth during the creation (Abraham 5:13) -Kolob is "the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth." (Abraham Facsimile 2 Figure 1) -The sun borrows it's light from Kolob (Abraham Facsimile 2 Figure 5) Kolob is also mentioned in one Mormon hymn, "If you could Hie to Kolob", which is about the grandeur and endlessness of God's creation. The planet Kolob doesn't really hold much doctrinal significance in Mormonism, and is rarely mentioned. It is simply the name of one of the planets mentioned in the Book of Abraham, which discusses astronomy and space as well as the creation of the earth. So, the short answer to "What is Kolob?" A planet mentioned in the Book of Abraham. As for how Mormons know about Kolob, the Book of Abraham was translated by Joseph Smith from papyrus which was believed to have come from the catacombs of Egypt. Mormons believe that it is the actual writing of the Biblical prophet Abraham, and much of it is a retelling of the early chapters of Genesis.
