Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr. (10th prophet):
This earth was created on the Lord's time, which is celestial time. By revelation we know exactly the nature of that time, and just how many days of celestial time were required to create the earth. Moreover, we know how long this earth has endured, approximately, and how long it will endure according to our present rate of reckoning.
....One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh.
When this earth was created, it was not according to our present time, but it was created according to Kolob's time, for the Lord has said it was created on celestial time which is Kolob's time. Then he revealed to Abraham that Adam was subject to Kolob's time before his transgression.
....We have evidence beyond dispute that Adam was driven out of the Garden of Eden about 6,000 years ago,(it was 1954 when this was written), or perhaps a short time less. It is possible for us by using the Bible chronology and that given by the Lord in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants to figure this almost accurately.
Here is a definite statement by revelation to us that this earth will go through 7,000 years of temporal existence. Temporal, by all interpretations, means passing, temporary or mortal. This, then, has reference to the earth in its fallen state, for the earth was cursed when Adam, who was given dominion over it, transgressed the law. Before that time this earth was not mortal any more than Adam was.
....We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man out of the dust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God sanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man, and judge all things, and shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years -- the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.
Here we have the Prophet comparing the days of creation with seven periods of 1,000 years each, corresponding to days, according to the Lord's time, in harmony with the teachings of Abraham and the other scriptures. The earth's temporal existence, according to this, is to endure for just one week, or seven days of 1,000 years each. Moreover, since the earth was built according to the celestial time, which is the Lord's days, which he clearly defined to Abraham, we can hardly be justified in trying to harmonize the days of creation with the extended periods of millions of years according to the reckoning of the so-called scientists.
Both the Bible and from the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, we know that the flood came in the year 1600 from the driving of Adam out of the Garden of Eden. we know that Abraham was living in the days of Shem, son of Noah, if not in the days of Noah himself. Profane history corroborates the history of Israel and Abraham. So a man is wilfully blind who would push these days back tens of thousands, much less, hundreds of thousands of years.
Moreover, our Savior came in the meridian of time. That dispensation is called the dispensation of the meridian of time. This means that it was about half way from the beginning of "time" to the end of "time". Anyone who desires can figure it out for himself that our Lord came about 4,000 years from the beginning of the fall. The millennium is to come some time following the 2,000 years after his coming. then there is to be the millennium for 1,000 years, and following that a "little season", the length of which is not revealed, but which may bring "time" to its end about 8,000 years from the beginning.
