I have Oko, Thief of Crowns and my opponent has a Celestial Colonnade I attack with something generic like a 1/1 human token. My opponent activates the Colonnade and blocks the token. Second main phase I turn that Colonnade into an Elk.

I am under the assumption that the Colonnade is now permanently a Green 3/3 Creature Land - Elk with no abilities (no mana, no flying, not blue white, nothing) until it leaves play. It will not revert to just a land at the end of the turn as the Colonnade ability states.

Correct?

Correct.

Celestial Colonnade does not have an effect that later turns it into a land. It has an effect that is making it a creature, which eventually wears off.

This turn there are the following effects applied like this:

0. Celestial Colonnade's printed qualities
1. New color, types, P/T, and text applied by Celestial Colonnade's ability
2. New color, types, P/T, and text applied by Oko

(Oko's effects get applied last since it came last in timestamp order. This works out overwriting everything to make Celestial Colonnade into just a 3/3 green Elk creature.)

After this turn there are only these effects:

0. Celestial Colonnade's printed qualities
1. New color, types, P/T, and text applied by Oko
