Kolbrin Bible
Many will argue that the Kolbrin Bible is an elaborate fake.
The Kolbrin was originally just called "The Kolbrin" and American publishers decided to add the "Bible". However, whatever one might call it, it is it is a magnificent book with an ancient heritage and it is nothing short of a miracle that most of it it survived, at least from the 10th Century.
The Kolbrin Bible comprises eleven books. The first six books are said to be scribed by Egyptian writers shortly after the Exodus, and is called the "Bronzebook". The last five books are collectively called "Coelbook" or "Kailedy" and are said be authored by Celtic priests written around the time that the New Testament was being created.
My personal belief is that the story presented in the Kolbrin is, for the most part, authentic true and real, even if the book itself is a hoax.
The Providence of the Kolbrin
The Kolbrin is purported to be a 3,600 year old book in the form of a scroll that was housed in the Library of Alexandria, Egypt along with about 700,000 other scrolls which contained the history and knowledge of the ancient world. When Julius Caesar invaded Egypt at the time of Cleopatra the library was burned in 48 B.C. However, some few scrolls were saved by people who removed them from the library before it was totally consumed in fire.
One such book was the Kolbrin. It is said that it was saved by Joseph of Arimathea. The Uncle of Jesus, who took the Kolbrin to Judea.

The Providence of the Kolbrin
The Kolbrin is purported to be a 3,600 year old book in the form of a scroll that was housed in the Library of Alexandria, Egypt along with about 700,000 other scrolls which contained the history and knowledge of the ancient world. When Julius Caesar invaded Egypt at the time of Cleopatra the library was burned in 48 B.C. However, some few scrolls were saved by people who removed them from the library before it was totally consumed in fire.
One such book was the Kolbrin. It is said that it was saved by Joseph of Arimathea. The Uncle of Jesus, who took the Kolbrin to Judea.
In order to preserve these books they were later taken by the followers of Jesus to Britain , where they were stored in the Glastonbury Abby , in Summerset County for hundreds of years. In 1184 AD the Christian community there learned of the text and intentionally set a fire intended to burn the heretical books housed in the Abby. Fortunately, the Kolbrin was written on thin bronze sheets and placed in clay containers, then stored in a safe place in the Abby’s Library and though damaged, it survived. These plates were known as “The Bronzebook of Britain”. This designation was carried forward when they were written out in book STITCH from in the seventeenth century.
The subject matter was then divided into chapters and the paragraphs were numbered. The whole was modernized in the latter part of the nineteenth or early part of the twentieth century. Incorporated in the modem Kolbrin are manuscripts which were traditionally claimed to have been copied from salvaged manuscripts which were not transcribed on to metal plates and formed a work known as “The Coelbook”. There is a second volume to the Kolbrin - the Gospel of the Kailedy and deals specifically with the life and times of Jesus Christ.
No copies of these old scrolls are available for inspection today, although there are unsubstantiated reports that a copy exist in the Vatican vaults and a copy in India. Given the history of the book, the unavailability for inspection today could be deemed understandable.
During the second and third decades of this century these books were in possession of a religious group in England . It would seem that throughout history the Kolbrin has always been on the brink of extinction, yet it has survived, safeguarded by a few who barely knew what it was all about, who were neither intellectual nor wealthy and for whom the practicalities of life took precedence.
During the World War II the old books were thrown out as “worthless junk”, but were again saved, yet were again discarded as “heathen works of the Devil”, but luckily, again salvaged before irreparable damage was done. It was not easy to reconstruct them, even with the assistance of well-intentioned people who filled in a few gaps with compatible references to modem works.
At present three editions of the material are available. A hardbound edition has been published, in association with the Culdian Trust, and is divided between two volumes, titled The Kolbrin and The Gospel of the Kailedy; the same group also has an online edition.
A softcover edition is published by Your Own World Books, edited by Janice Manning and compiled by Marshall Masters is also available on Amazon.com.

Claims that the Kolbrin is a Fraud
The Kolbrin has no specific author due to the very nature of its origins and the fact that it is a compilation of many works. Its name is probably derived from the Welsh alphabet called Coelbren, and thus it is not the authentic name of a particular manuscript which could be traced to ancient times. In fact the Kolbrin is not a book at all, but rather it is a collection of texts, scrolls and manuscripts from different sources and different times. The original source manuscripts cannot today to be located.
The Kolbrin was originally just called "The Kolbrin" and certain American publishers added the name "Bible" to its title. The first documented mention of this text is in James McCanney's Atlantis to Tesla - The Kolbrin Connection, a self-published work from 2003. A softcover edition is published by Your Own World Books, ostensibly edited by one Janice Manning and with versification by Marshall Masters — whose previous works were fiction based on New Age prophecies.
The text has received nearly no critical attention, but sites outside the pseudoscientific/new religion realm point to its lack of provenance and dubious history and suggest that it is a hoax or at least apocryphal. Hughes suggests Glenn Kimball as a possible author. In 2006 Kimball published an article on the Kolbrin texts and was associated with Masters’ edition of the text.
As the Introduction of the book itself says: "The important point, however, is that this is not intended to be a historical record, an intellectual work or literary effort, it falls short of these and is rather a coherent and consistent body of spiritual teachings....".
The Kolbrin is largely the work of a small group of people, possibly leading to one person, by the name of Glenn Kimball, who claims to have “completed Ph.D. work” from … somewhere (this is not the same as having a Ph.D.). He is in Arizona, and runs a place called the Kimball College and the Institute for the Study of Ancient and Historical Manuscripts.
Whether it is only the compilation contained in the modern Book that is being called a hoax, or the entire content of the manuscript is somewhat uncertain. If it is the modern book named the Kolbrin Bible which is being called a hoax, there may be some truth to that statement, as the modern book can absolutely be found nowhere in antiquity.
However, if it is claimed that every passage in the Kolbrin that is a hoax, then that statement is most likely false. Much of the book consist of writings that could have well been found in antiquity.
THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK
Nearly as large as the King James Bible, this 3,600-year old text warns of an imminent, Armageddon-like conflict with radical Islam, but this is not the greatest threat facing humanity.
The authors of The Kolbrin Bible predict an end to life as we know it, by a celestial event. It will be the return of a massive space object, in a long elliptical orbit around our sun. Known to the Egyptians and Hebrews as the "Destroyer," the Celts later called it the “Frightener."
Manuscripts 3:4 - When blood drops upon the Earth, the Destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil.
Manuscripts 3:5 - The Heavens will burn brightly and redly; there will be a copper hue over the face of the land, ‘followed by a day of darkness. A new moon will appear and break up and fall.
Manuscripts 3:6 - The people will scatter in madness. They will hear the trumpet and battle cry of the Destroyer and will seek refuge within dens in the Earth. Terror will eat away their hearts, and their courage will flow from them like water from a broken pitcher. They will be eaten u in the flames of wrath and consumed by the breath of the Destroyer.
Manuscripts 3:10 - In those days, men will have the Great Book before them; wisdom will be revealed; the few will be gathered for the stand; it is the hour of trial. The dauntless ones will survive; the stouthearted will not go down to destruction.
The Destroyer is also known today as Wormwood, Nibiru, Planet X and Nemesis. There are also troubling prophetic correlations to the future predictions of Mother Shipton's "Fiery Dragon" and others. While these future predictions are uncertain at best, is it possible for us to know about the Destroyer's previous flybys with a great degree of certainty. The book offers an alternative story to the one found in the Bible.
The modern Introduction in fact describes it as an “an ancient secular academic work,” and has a table showing what the editors think the language was in each “book” (manuscript).
It says that Volume One, The Egyptian Texts Of The Bronzebook, was written by “Egyptian academicians” in a religious crisis that followed the Exodus of c1500 BC. It is given as written originally in Egyptian Hieratic script and then translated (in Lebanon) into Phoenician. The Phoenicians being the merchants behind the long-distance tin-trade route, and a copy came to Britain with some individuals fleeing Roman rule.
Volume Two, The Celtic Texts Of The Coelbook, is given as written in “Old Celtic”, translated into ‘Old’ English, then post-WWII into “Continental” (presumably modern) English. By “Old Celtic”, they must mean Common Celtic, i.e. before it split into its surviving dialects like Welsh, Gaelic, and Breton. The preface gives the dates of the original Celtic manuscripts as between 20 and 500 CE [AD].
CONCLUSION
Whether parts of the Kolbrin Bible are true or whether they are a fraud and a fake is not important for our purposes. We study the work because it exist and if we are to understand any conversation about the book we should have some insight and knowledge about it.
It is the belief of this author that the modern day book known and sold and the “Kolbrin Bible“ never existed as such at any time before the 2000’s AD. However, parts of the book may be actually ancient and contain much wisdom from ancient times. Just how much of the book comes from such ancient historical document(s) is unknown and unknowable today. My personal belief is that the story presented in the Kolbrin is, for the most part, authentic true, real and the book is mostly, but not totally, a hoax .
Nevertheless, the Kolbrin Bible is becoming increasingly popular, therefore is entirely appropriate for us to study and discuss it so that we can form or own conclusions about the book and will be more knowledgeable when participating in any discussions where it may be mentioned.

The following video is long, but tends to confirms the existence of the "Destroyer" through independent information , totally unrelated to the Kolbrin Bible.
