We will all be dead by 2012, unless we heed the warnings given in the Kolbrin Bible. So claims Glenn Kimball, an “author and educator” from Arizona. The Kolbrin was maintained, says Kimball, by a series of “secret societies” (he doesn’t provide details) after it was snatched from the 1124 arson at Glastonbury Abbey. So, no surprises, there aren’t any records of its existence. I’ll let him Glenn describe himself: Glenn Kimball […] has successfully completed all course work for a Ph.D. in Communications. He has been collecting ancient texts since the age of fifteen and is famous for being able to integrate very diverse texts into a contiguous story line […] Famous, indeed? Even if such a word was justified, being able to “integrate” diverse texts together into a “story line” sounds just a little bit suspect, and reminds me of this book review. But he’s not letting the incomplete Ph.D hold him back: Kimball appears to run his own (mail order) university, the Kimball College Institute for the Study of Ancient History and Ancient Manuscripts. The texts for the autumn 2008 semester are as follows: ‘Wisdom from India’, by Glenn Kimball

‘A Letter from Jesus’, by Glenn Kimball

‘What is Quantum Physics?’, by Glenn Kimball And there are a lot more where they came from. (This is a man, remember, whose only academic qualification is that he nearly has a Ph.D in Communications – and even then, he is suspiciously unwilling to name the academic institution that didn’t quite award him the honour.) Kimball seems very proud of the Kolbrin Bible: It is the first Judaic/Christian document that binds our scientific understanding of human evolution with creationism and intelligent design… The Kolbrin also has a special third party account of the Exodus from Egypt at the time of Moses… It is the only Judaic/Christian document to tell the whole story of human creation… Suddenly the story of Atlantis and Lumeria and their tales of “Eden” and catastrophe… tie into the beginning creation story from the Holy Bible. So, the bible ties several “diverse strands” together. And how was it you introduced yourself again, Glenn? Glenn Kimball… is famous for being able to integrate very diverse texts into a contiguous story line. Did Kimball write the Kolbrin? All the trails of promotion and speculation seem to lead back to Kimball College. He is the one promoting it the most, praising its beautiful writing in particular. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of the Kolbrin Bible that doesn’t cite its source, eventually, as Kimball or one of his associates. (Glastonbury Abbey, incidentally, deny that the Kolbrin Bible or anything that resembled it was ever housed there.) Kimball’s second-in-command is Marshall Masters, a “former CNN science producer”, who has fallen hook, line and sinker for Kimball’s Bible. He is a rather sad character. A serial victim of counterknowledge, he says without a trace of irony that the Destroyer story in the Kolbrin “correlates to Nostradamus’s ‘Bearded Star,’ Mother Shipton’s ‘Fiery Dragon’ and the ‘Red Comet’ warning of the Mayan Calendar 2012 Prophecies”. Another part of his website announces, almost pleadingly: “This is not conspiracy nonsense!” Masters keeps repeating on his website that he “followed the money” to find evidence to support the theories in the Kolbrin. But follow the money from anywhere the Kolbrin is cited, and you’ll find Masters, or Kimball, peddling a book. Meanwhile, Kimball continues to lavish praise on the Kolbrin Bible: The Kolbrin is one of the newest discoveries and perhaps the most significant in over a thousand years. The Kolbrin is like “eye candy” for those who crave to know more about prophecy and religion. It may be the most important document ever found… Hmm. If Kimball wants to sound like he’s not promoting his own work, he’s going to have to try harder. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
