The patriarch Abraham learned that the fall of Adam and Eve was so powerful that when our first parents fell, the earth also fell, or moved—from its position near Kolob, which is "nigh unto the throne of God" (Abraham 3:9) to its present location in our solar system (Abraham 5:13). But the atonement of Christ is infinitely more powerful than the Fall, and the earth will someday be physically moved back into the presence of God by the power of God (the Atonement). The Prophet Joseph Smith said, "This earth will be rolled back into the presence of God, and crowned with celestial glory" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 181).
