About this listen
Have you ever wondered how god’s universe is structured? Can you believe god’s throne is in the center of the universe?
The Kolob Theorem written by Professor Lynn M. Hilton allows us to see more clearly the celestial home we lived in before we were born and the home we will live in after we die. These places appear more real; they are made of matter, some of very fine and pure matter, and exist in time and space.
Lynn, as a man of faith, unites in a single theory, scientific evidence and sources from the standard works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to account for the form and structure of all of God’s worlds, planets, and suns.
Lynn advocates the theory that the great star Kolob (which is near unto God’s throne) is located in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. According to the Book of Abraham, Kolob is God's first creation. It is a huge star and governs all the rest of Heavenly Father's suns and worlds.
This is an abridgment of the original book.

Story
Parley P. Pratt wrote A Voice of Warning over a two-month period while on a mission to New York. The economy in Kirtland was collapsing, and dissension was rife among Church members. Even Parley became caught up in the dissension and was for a time estranged to Joseph Smith. In an act of renewal, Parley went to New York to preach the gospel and purify himself. With few doors open to him, Parley focused himself on writing, producing A Voice of Warning.

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was 23 and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age 38. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations.

A few weeks earlier, a church member and close friend of Joseph named King Follett was killed in an accident. This well-known event in Nauvoo led Joseph Smith to comment specifically on Follett’s death and to address what Joseph called “[T]he subject of the dead”.

By divine design, rites, rituals, and ordinances are filled with symbolic meaning intended to help us better understand God’s Plan.

The ordinances of the Gospel are both the vehicle by which we make covenants and also a means by which God seeks to teach us.

Life is not a series of random events but is orchestrated through a set of natural laws that govern life on Earth.

This book is a guidebook intended to offer knowledge that you can use throughout life.

Have you noticed that President Russell M. Nelson keeps reminding us that the modern temple endowment has “ancient” roots? If you do not know what this means—if you do not have a solid understanding of what was done in the temples of ancient Israel—then you are missing many of the most basic and important aspects of your temple experience. Unfortunately, it is very common for someone to enter the temple for the first time with little to no understanding of what to expect.

Super Intetesting
Super interesting book. Highly recommend if you are capable of maintaining balance in your thinking, and if you are a "dig deep" kind of person who "does their homework." Otherwise, don't read it. I say that because, as the author states, the vast majority of this book is his personal thoughts and possible conclusions.
That being said - wow! He quotes scripture and prophets and brought some stuff to light that I had never supposed. Example: When Christ said I am the Light - he means that in more than one way. And in a very real, scientific way, he IS the light at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Kind of a stretch, right? Well, think again as you listen to prophets' descriptions and comments on such things.
When I began reading this book, it was with my normal skepticism. I am one of those that like to know and learn and grow, and I'm not affected much by "far out there" ideas, and am able to keep the solid doctrine separate from "far out there" theories. But this book challenged me on that. It's got my brain wheels turning and I want to listen to this again, take copious notes and do more homework to see what I can learn about all this.
In the end: it makes a lot of sense, and there are many things the Lord, the scriptures, and the prophets have stated that make it so.
However, the bottom line is this: It's all for fun. None of this book is necessary for us to work out our salvation, to have faith, and to learn the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which IS necessary for our salvation and exaltation. But it'll sure be fun when we finally make it to the other side and all things become known to us after Final Judgement, and we can then see how close to fact this author came!
I recommend it if you have a curious mind, and you can keep doctrine separate from assumption. Recommend for ages 18+.
Note: I do not have a high regard for the vocabulary nor reading comprehension of today's high school (nor college) graduates. Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Vocabulary, all of it, has been so dumbed down, that we see the end result in today's journalists who can't spell nor write worth beans. Therefore, when a book is lengthy on some topic, and delves deep into it, and does so in a slower fashion, I tend to think these young people will find it "boring", because they have never known/learned how to appreciate true wisdom, true deep English language communication (especially in written form) and don't have the vocabulary to understand it. Today's fast-paced movies, videos, games, etc. all have dumbed down our brains, and unless something is those things (fast paced etc) people tend to not be able to maintain interest. They no longer know how to think deep and profoundly. So, when I say a person should be 18+ to read this and enjoy it, I'm thinking more like 25 or 30 + yrs old. lol.

A Thought Provoking Presentation
I enjoyed Mr. Hilton’s blending of scripture and science. God created the heavens and the physical laws that govern their motions. He also gave us the scriptures to edify us spiritually and temporally. We need not restrict our studies to one or the other. We can find many of God’s mysteries revealed as we diligently study both. Listening to Mr. Hilton’s presentation is well worth your time.

How do you prove or disprove?
It’s an interesting idea with no possible way to test or prove it one way or the other. It does give a person a lot to think about though. But the truth of it matters little to my life here on earth, in fact, it matters not at all. I guess we will all just have to wait and see what the truth is, as I’m sure when we need to know, we will know.

Awesome
It was very profound. I enjoyed the abridged version, I wish it was the entire book though.

Awesome perspective
This book explored a perspective that I've never heard before. It dove into the mysteries of space and made connections with how the life after might look and connect together. Very much recommend.

Tried to keep an open mind
The author made it perfectly clear that this was his own opinion and not doctrine. However after only listening for an hour I lost all interest and stopped. When I made the purchase l was at least expecting some correlation between current scientific observation and the standard works. For example, entropy and the eventual heat death of the universe as according to the second law of thermodynamics. What about touching on a reason why the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate causing galaxies that are far away from us to be moving away at ever increasing speed, and those that are close(Andromeda) we are heading towards. I believe in time that science and religion will be asking the same questions and was hoping that this book would make that leap. It doesn’t.
