Questions

  • What might it mean for "all things...past, present, and future" to be "continually before the Lord" (verse 7)? Does that place God outside of time?
  • What kingdoms might be "higher" than the Celestial Kingdom--or at least the celestialized earth (verse 10)? Why don't we know more about these kingdoms?

Exegesis

In verse 8 we learn that God dwells on a giant Urim and Thummim. Verse 9 tells us that our own earth will become a Urim and Thummim to those who live on it when it becomes glorified. It will allow the inhabitants to see the knowledge and truths of the lower kingdoms: the telestial and terrestrial.
