“If [the sun] was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized. Every planet in the first rude, organic state receives not the glory of God upon it, but is opaque; but when celestialized, every planet that God brings into existence is a body of light, but not till then.”

Brigham Young – 24 July 1870, Journal of Discourses – Volume 13 (Liverpool, England: Horace S. Eldredge, 1871), 271.
