Pearl of Great Price PN 1. KOLOB greatest star, “first in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time,” “nearest unto” throne of God; “signifying the first creation” (BofAbraham 3:3, facsimile 2:1-2,4-5)

Hebrew קרב qereb, qarob “near, interior, heart,” as in theophoric Hebrew קרוב Qarob “The-Near-One” (Psalm 119:151 ∥152 קדם Qedem “The-Primeval-One”; cf. Deuteronomy 33:27, Psalms 69:19, 74:12, 145:18; Arabic Qarib is cognate),[1] in qutl-form at Qumran קורב (qwrb “midst”; 11QMelch 1:10 = Psalm 82:1; for Aramaic קרב qrb see 1QapGen 22:18)[2]; also in Akkadian qurbum, qerbum, and Ugaritic, as well as Arabic qalb (pl. qulub), "heart; center; soul, spirit," as in قلب الاسد Qalb al-ˁAsad “Regulus (in Leo), Lion-heart,” clearly showing the two root variants characteristic of Afroasiatic, QLB/QRB, cognate with Egyptian qЗb.[3] The Arabs also considered bright and stable Canopus (Greek Kanobos) to be قلب التيمان Qalb at-Taiman “Heart of the South” = Hathor in ancient Egypt.[4] Perhaps related to the Kolpi of Philo Biblius, and reflected in Greek Κνηφ, Κνουφις, Χνουβις, Χνουβι[5] (cf. Elephantine-Jewish Ḥnub, Ḥnb), all variant names of the Egyptian ram-god Khnum, who is illustrated here.

"Celestial time," according to facsimile 2:1-2,4-5, is the same time‑reckoning as at Kolob, Oliblish and at God's throne/ residence. Three realms: Where or what are they? Could these three celestial realms be three stars of the Belt of Orion? Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka, each oriented in turn to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.[6] Or should we see them as Alnitak, Rigel, and Saiph, which for the ancient Maya represented the three hearthstones of creation in Orion.[7]  Cf. Quirigua Stela C (Monument 3), Guatemala, vertical east side of B5–15 (CR to end),

    B Three stones were set,

         C The Paddlers erected a stone; it happened at 5 Sky House, Jaguar Throne stone,

         C The Black God erected a stone; it happened at Earth Center Place, Serpent Throne stone,

        C  And then it happened that Itzamna set a stone, Water-Lily Throne stone; it happened at Sky Place,

    B New, three-stone place,

A  13 baktuns were completed under the authority of 6 Sky Lord (Wac Chan Ahau).[8]

Another puzzle which we should deal with here is the method of governance of God’s whole system via KOLOB (Abr 3:3, facs 2:1-2). This may be accomplished via the mechanism of “clumps and strands in a vast ‘cosmic web’” of dark matter and hydrogen gas flowing “along the filaments to feed the growing galaxies.”

Astronomers have seen how the gravity of the web’s filaments distort the images of more distant galaxies, making them align slightly, like fish swimming in a school. Other scientists have detected huge intergalactic clouds of hydrogen by noting how they absorb light from very distant, bright galaxies called quasars.[9]
The material seems to lie along a connected structure, a vast cosmic web connecting the galaxies. Such filaments are held together by dark matter, the unknown material thought to make up roughly 80 percent of the universe. * * *
As massive galaxies interact with one another, their tidal forces can pull gas out into the region between them.[10]

Scholar Anton Petrov points out that one way to explain how dark matter holds the galaxies together is via theoretical Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPS), and various experiments are being conducted in order to find just such a particle.[11]

Cf. also Kullab = Uruk.[12]
