About this ebook

My new teachings will increase your intelligence, your sensitivity and your good will and in this way prevent corruption from annulling your greatness.

Everyone should now know that the world is in turmoil because of their failure to live the divine law of love for one another. Everyone should know that only humans can change the world by awakening the power of their Spirit.

I appeal to all children, young people and adult’s great sensitivity to have a common goal, and that goal is to love one another. This goal of love has the potential to unite the world and create a new and wonderful life for everyone.

What you do not understand today will be understood by others tomorrow. What you fail to do today will be done by others tomorrow. [Jesus 1981 revelations]

    GOD BROKE HIS SILENCE IN 1921 TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE TO PROVIDE MANKIND WITH THE ULTIMATE TRUTHS.

    INTRODUCING

    THE WORLD’S

    1ST

    GOD’IAN BIBLE

    image%202.jpg

    GOD’IANS WORKING FOR GOD

    God’ians are non-religious acceptors, promoters and workers of God’s salvation plan to unite the human family, which has to be done for the return of all humans to God’s Kingdom. Because of its importance, God made unity a commandment for all humans.

    This new generation of self-thinkers must be intelligent enough to realize that religion and the church are one of the major sources that divide the human family. Their division makes it impossible to carry out God’s command to unite by loving one another.

    When the very thing that was design to unite us, divide us, then our intelligence must guide us in our decision to change from religion to followers of God’s all truth revelations, which has now been delivered.

    REVELATION 12 AND 13 OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE

    EXPLAIN WHY EVERYONE MUST READ THIS BIBLE

    Jesus prediction of the universal war between humans and the invisible forces of evil has begun and the only thing humans knows of this invisible and powerful enemy are its ancient names, which can be found in the book of Revelation.

    The great dragon was hurled down to earth that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. – Rev. 12:9.

    The first 7 seals of the Apocalypse is the first set of information shared by Jesus on the activities origin and invisible home of the forces of evil and that too was sealed for the last 2000 years.

    The first complete story on the forces of evil and how it can be eliminated by humans can be found in this Bible.

    YOU ARE A SLAVE OF THE FORCES OF EVIL

    Jesus confirmed in 1981 that the enemy has a direct connection to everyone’s mind and its invisible influence makes each of us slave of the forces of evil. If it enslave your mind it enslave you. While you might not consider yourself a slave, you need to know that you are or you won’t be able to desire your freedom nor the need to work for it.

    This information was so important to the future of mankind that it was sealed until Jesus return. His mission was not only to explain the slavery, but also show you how to eliminate all evil and how to return to God’s kingdom. One of the first hurdle this new generation of self-thinkers must cross is the awareness that mankind has an invisible enemy that work continuously to prevent mankind return to God’s kingdom.

    The revelation by Jesus in 1981 of how to eliminate all evil made the dragon furious and mankind was warned to expect an increase in the devil’s activity, which mean he will use his influence to create as much chaos in the world as he can, through his connections to your mind and every human mind on the planet.

    Wow to the earth and the sea (people) because the devil has gone down to you. He is filled with fury because he knows that his time is short. – Rev. 12:12.

    The reason you must read this new Bible is because it’s personal and both God and Jesus have broken their silence to confirm your greatness, purpose and future with your creator. This is the promise book of salvation.

    Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,..THEREFORE REJOICE, YOU HEAVENS AND YOU WHO DWELL IN THEM. – Rev. 12:10-12.

    WHY GOD BROKE HIS SILENCE

    God years of silence was to facilitate human growth in intelligence and knowledge.

    A teacher of God’s statute does not desert his children and students unless it is for their betterment. The years of silence in this case was the time humans needed to be able to comprehend the higher knowledge of creation, which includes the fundamental building blocks of divine light and energy.

    It is extremely important to know a portion of the story of creation was withheld by God and was never shared simply because the generations of the past lacked the knowledge to comprehend the higher knowledge of creation.

    The withholding of information on the creation shouldn’t be too difficult to understand or prove today because both God and Jesus are your new teachers.

    God broke his silence in the 20th century because the transition from jungle science to technological advancement has been made. The scientific advances proved the maturity of human intelligence and their readiness for the all truth revelations.

    God withheld the higher knowledge of creation, which explains why we know so little about ourselves, our past and future. However, humans were not left in the dark because cosmic messengers sent by God informed humans of what was missing, why information were been withheld and when they would be release. The missing portion of the story of creation is now available in this Bible for the first time in human history.

    NEW INSTRUCTIONS FROM GOD

    Date 1921.

    YOU ARE LIVING A LIFE OF LIES:

    You are living a life of lies and what mankind knows today about the creation can be compared to a thimble full of the mighty ocean.

    HOW TO FIND ME:

    Seek me in truth for only in the rhythm of truth shall thou find ecstasy (happiness).

    HEAR NO ONE BUT ME:

    Do not be diverted by deviation that you may see me only and hear no one but me.

    YOU WILL KNOW ME:

    If you don’t get to know me now, you will know me later, but you will know me.

    SEEK ME IN TRUTH:

    Truth is not faith or belief. Truth is something you must be able to prove for yourself, if it can’t be proven it is not truth.

    THE TWO WARNINGS FROM GOD

    HEAR NO ONE BUT ME:

    You are living a life of lies. Do not be diverted by deviation that you may see me only and hear no one but me.

    EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE:

    Mankind was warned over 2000 years ago of the danger of accepting the teachings of humans over the teachings and guidance of God. This warning can be found in the book of Genesis.

    Eat from the tree of knowledge and you will die. Eat from the tree of life and you live forever.– Genesis 3:22, K.J.B.

    The Genesis warning was written in the old figurative language used by the old prophets. The tree of knowledge is the metaphor for the beliefs and theories of humans. The tree of life is the metaphor used for God in the old and new treatment.

    STORY

    OF

    THE NEW 21ST CENTURY BIBLE

    Two thousand (2000) years ago, after Jesus death on the cross he appeared to his apostle John and showed him a vision of mankind’s future, which John recorded and is known today as the Apocalypse prophesies, which can be found in the Book of Revelation.

    The importance of Jesus’ vision of the future is priceless because it represent a certified road map of mankind’s future. The details of the map was so advance John left a warning there was no human alive or dead who could decode the Apocalypse prophesies. Only Jesus is worthy wrote John.

    The readers of this Bible will be shock to discover that God’s first teachings of his universe was delivered over a 100 years ago and Jesus second teachings 40 years ago. And both were rejected by theologians due to their inability to recognize the higher knowledge of the creation story.

    Two thousand years ago (2000) Jesus promised the delivery of all truth and the combine teachings of God and Jesus in the New 21st Century Bible is the fulfilment of his promise to the world.

    You will know the truth and the truth will set you free of your ignorance of not knowing your greatness and oneness with God. John 8:32, K.J.B.

    PREFACE

    LET IT BE KNOWN TO ALL

    The ancient Bibles were never intended for the people of the 21st century and beyond. The recorded future of mankind was shown to the apostle John and recorded in the book of Revelation under the title of the apocalypse prophecies, which is a road map of mankind’s future given by Jesus 2000 years ago.

    Recorded in the apocalypse prophecies in revelation 10 is the prediction that the mystery of God would end. Recorded in revelation 12 is the prediction of the return of the master teacher Jesus, sent by God to educate humans and was killed. Revelation 10 predicted the delivery of a new Bible (scroll) coming from heaven (coming from God and Jesus) that was to be sent to all nations and kings.

    History will record that the 21st century generation was chosen by God to be the first receivers of his all truth revelations.

    Both God and Jesus new revelations are now available to all. God’s map of mankind’s future and Jesus’ mission statement are attached.

    A DIVINE INVITATION

    FROM JESUS

    "The ‘All-Truth’ is intended to replace blind beliefs and doubts with facts that can be proven by everyone. The All-Truth is also an open invitation to all humans to return to God’s Kingdom.

    The first invitation to return to God’s Kingdom was written in the immensity and beauty of the universe. The beauty was placed in the plants, flowers, birds, animals, and above all in the existence of humans. The last invitation came from me and is a direct invitation to a new generation of self-thinkers whose desire is to prove the truth of their existence.

    The world’s response to the first invitation remain the same as today: I do not understand it. My invitation is different from the first because it is a direct invitation focused on you, the individual, on human greatness and the work humans must do to change the world. The acceptance of the 1981 invitation offers a new life of love between all humans of good will."

    [Jesus 1981 revelations]

    A CALL FOR UNITY FROM JESUS

    The first and only miracle you must do is to unite all humans, and only love unites. When all humans become united in love they will break all the barriers, which make them weak, old and mortal. Therefore, the miracle you must want from deep in your hearts is to love one another.

    THE UNTOLD STORY OF CREATION

    THE STORY OF CREATION AND WHAT TOOK PLACE IN GOD’S KINGDOM AFTER THE BIG BANG EXPLOSION WERE WITHHELD BY GOD UNTIL HUMANS WERE CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING THE UNSEEN WORLD OF DIVINE LIGHT AND ENERGY.

    BOTH GOD AND JESUS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE HIGHER KNOWLEDGE OF CREATION WAS NEVER SHARED WITH ANY HUMAN THEREFORE WHATEVER YOU KNOW ABOUT THE STORY OF CREATION IS AT BEST HALF-TRUTHS CREATED BY HUMANS.

    GOD’S 1921 WARNING:

    TO UNDERSTAND THE CREATION IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION, WHICH RESULTED IN A CHANGE OF-STATE OF THE FIRST TWO HUMANS. [JESUS-1981]

    A ‘G’ SCIENGE CORREGTION

    Jesus confirmed that the Big Bang explosion

    was the cause of not one explosion, but a

    chain of explosions.

    Since each explosion created a large waste

    field of materials, it explains the creation of

    the galaxies and the space between them.

    This Bible is about you, your future and your oneness with God. Both God and Jesus have delivered their Final Testaments to the world. Therefore our priority must be the awareness of the preciousness of life and our inheritance from God of eternal life.

    New Knowledge

    The new knowledge Jesus shared in 1981 includes the complete story of creation, the decoding of the Apocalypse and the mystery of God. This new information signifies a new beginning for mankind because the sharing of higher knowledge makes all of us students, regardless of our position in life.

    (1st. Cor. 8:2 King James Bible)

    If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, as he ought.

    THE CHALLENGE THAT WILL

    image%2024.jpg

    DETERMINE MANKIND’S FUTURE

    THE TWO WORDS THAT SIMPLIFIES THE
    COMPREHENSION OF THE GREATEST

    SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE

    The two words you must know to understand your purpose, future, destiny and the will of God are love and unloved. God’s commandment is to love one another. Those who have rejected God’s will and have replaced it with their own will are the unloved and creators of evil. Evil can be compare to a mental disease that gave rise to selfishness, division and is responsible for all the suffering, violence and corruption in the world.

    Two thousand years ago Jesus provided a map of mankind’s future known as the Apocalypse, which shows that the elimination of all evil must take place before mankind can achieve his destiny. And the only solution is to love each other.

    The word love originated in God’s kingdom and existed long before the creation of the physical world. In God’s kingdom love is a synonym for the spirit of God, but the spirit is not God. The spirit is an extension of God as his knowing, thinking and imagining are. The important characteristic of the spirit is its ability to generate a source of affectionate energy known as love.

    Jesus commandment to love one another, his encouragement to love as God love and the formula of The Chain of Love, given in 1981 by Jesus to be use in eliminating all evil is what this new Bible is about.

    To achieve mankind destiny with God every human must participate in their salvation by learning how to love with the spirit of God, which every human possess.

    Do you not know that your body is a temple of God and the spirit of God is within you? 1st Corinthians 3:16. K.J.B.

    The law of God’s Kingdom is love and the universal law of God’s creation is love. Love is the spirit and the spirit is love. There is an important reason why Jesus gave the commandment to love one another. In God’s Kingdom love is not a feeling it is the unseen greatness and power of God within you, to be used in your return to your ancestral home in God’s Kingdom.

    image%2025.jpg

    2000 YEARS AGO

    I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience...Nevertheless I have something against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. [Rev.2:2-4]

    JESUS EXPLAIN THE FIRST LOVE

    Humans were born from God, so God is first, love is first. Humans not only come from God, they also have the essence of God within their soul. Therefore, they have inherited the capacity to love as God loves.

    image%2026.jpgimage%2026A.jpg
    ALL HUMANS ARE EQUAL BECAUSE OF THEIR ONENESS WITH GOD AND THAT IS THE UNCHANGEABLE, UNDENIABLE AND UNAVOIDABLE LAW OF GOD. ONLY A BLIND FOOL WOULD ATTEMPT TO IGNORE OR TRY TO CHANGE GOD’S LAW of EQUALITY AND LOVE.
    image%2027.jpg
    God’s laws are universal; therefore, the moral law for mankind is love and explains Jesus’s command to love one another.
    Un-love is the reason why evil exists.

    God’s Moral

    Law Is Love.

    THIS BIBLE IS DEDICATED

    TO THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

    It is the children that must pick up the broken pieces and work to change and unite the human family. It won’t be easy, but God and Jesus are their partners and guides.

    Because of their intelligence, they will be the first to acknowledge that God’s and Jesus’ 21st century teachings, supersedes all the past teachings of the ancient prophets, apostles and Bibles. They will also know that the unanswered questions the world have been seeking about our origin and existence, lies not in our past, but in the future. They will understand why God withheld the higher knowledge on the unseen world of energy and light until humans were capable of comprehending their hidden greatness and oneness with God.

    For the first time in human history, Jesus shares the vision God showed to him in the garden of Gethsemane, where he went to pray before he was arrested by the Roman soldiers. A part of this 2000 year vision showed the future of the children of the 21st century.

    Proof of the accuracy of biblical prophecies has always been based on the fulfillment of their predictions. What was shown to Jesus 2000 years ago concerning the children of the 21st century can be judged by you because what Jesus saw 2000 years ago, is now happening in front of our own eyes.

    I saw with horror the starving and thirsty mouths of children. I even saw their wounds and tears. I saw endless men enslaved by their religious, political and material fanaticism with hate in their stares, blood in their hands and indifference in their hearts, and minds consumed by money, fame and power. - From Jesus 1981 Revelations.

    25799.png

    (FROM JESUS)

    GOD SHOWED JESUS THE 21ST CENTURY IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.

    I said, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do, because I saw that deep ignorance that dominate humanity. The ignorance of those times has increased to the point that you are one step from idiocy. You still act blindly because you still disobey my one command to love each other.

    All my sorrow, tears and sweat in the Gethsemane Orchard 2000 years ago were not because I feared death. At that time, I could clearly see that everything I had done would go to bad use. In those moments, I foresaw what is happening today. I saw everything that would occur in all human lives for many centuries. I saw all the sorrows, miseries, diseases, and physical and psychological slaveries that would result from refusing to live love the way I taught you.

    I saw how the un-love disease would seize humans, transforming them into puppets incapable of love. I saw with horror the starving and thirsty mouths of children. I even saw their wounds and tears. I saw endless men enslaved by their religious, political and material fanaticism with hate in their stares, blood in their hands and indifference in their hearts, and minds consumed by money, fame and power. That great pain that I felt in Gethsemane was caused by the poor and mediocre lives that billions of humans would live instead of having a full and eternal life.

    My agony was increased by the knowledge that my mission was approaching its end. For all these reason, my pain became more intense and my drink more bitter. In those moments, I was a part of the human body and as a part of that body I suffered all its pains. I was one with humanity just as you are. The difference was that I was conscious of that great need for unity, and that is why I suffered. But you do not want to be conscious of that unity and this is why you are never concerned with the suffering of others, only when something happens to you.

    My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. What I was expressing with these words was that my pains would not end until death. However, the Father gave me a grand consolation which put an end to my inner suffering and helped me stand the physical pain that came later. That is why I said to my stubborn and indifferent companions in Gethsemane: Sleep and rest. because I had already been consoled.

    My Father consoled me by showing me that in this moment in time (today) a small group of people would finally understand the importance of love. And would begin to spread it to their fellowmen, explaining its simplicity and the great riches it contains. After this consolation I could get to the summit of the Golgotha without problem.

    The Father showed me how love began to make sense in human intelligence and tried to make it germinate in his heart and to communicate it to his fellowmen. I saw how the call to love began to be heard in the world. This consoled me. I saw how the Spirit began to be a part of human life. I saw how the humans began to pay attention to their Spirit, which is love, and use it.

    [From Jesus 1981 instructions]

    Proof of the authenticity of Jesus presence at Golgotha and his crucifixion.

    Pilate’s report to Caesar

    In 1947, while I was doing my postgraduate studies in Heidelberg, Germany, I received information from two doctors regarding manuscripts which were located at the Mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey, and at the Vatican. The doctors informed me two priests had been killed because they had shown these documents without proper authorization.

    I received proper authorization from the closest relative to the President of Turkey. I was permitted entrance to the Top Kapi Saray by Dr. Müdürü Kemal Zig, director of the museum.

    The 54 volumes measured two feet wide, four feet long and two and one-half feet thick. Each had to be lifted from the shelves by two men because of the great weight. Two sets of guards, one outside and another inside, protected these important volumes which contained the hand-written report in Latin by Pontius Pilate regarding the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

    PILATE’S REPORT:

    To: Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of Rome

    Noble Sovereign, Greeting:

    The events of the last few days have been of such character that I will give thee the details in full as they occurred. As I should not be surprised if in the course of time, they may change the destiny of our nation, for it seems of late that all the gods have ceased to be functuous.

    I am almost ready to say, "Cursed be the day that I have succeeded Velarius in the government of Judaea. For since then, my life has been one of continual uneasiness and distress.

    On my arrival in Jerusalem, I took possession of the Plutorium and ordered a splendid feast to be prepared. To which I invited Tetrarch of Galilee with the high priest and his officers. At the appointed hour no guests appeared. This I considered an insult offered to my dignity and to the whole government, which I represent.

    A few days later, the high priest dignified me by paying me a visit. His deportment was grave and deceitful. He pretended that his religion forbade him and his attendants to sit at a table of the Romans and eat of and offer libations with them. But this was only a sanctimonious seeming, for his very countenance betrayed his hypocrisy, although I thought it expedient to accept his excuse. For that moment I was convinced that the conquered had declared themselves the enemy of the conquerors, and I would warn the Romans to beware of the high priests of this country. They would betray their own mothers to gain office and a luxurious living.

    It seems to me, of the conquered cities, Jerusalem is the most difficult to govern. So turbulent are the people that I live in momentary dread of an insurrection. I have not soldiers sufficient to suppress it. I have only one Centurion and one hundred men at my hand. I requested a reinforcement from the Prefect of Syria, who informed me he has scarcely troops sufficient to defend his own province and insatiable thirst for the conquest to extend our empire beyond the means of defending it.

    I fear I will go to the cost of the final overthrow of our whole government. I live secluded from the masses, for I did not know what those priests might influence the rebels or (the) mob to do. Yet, I endeavored to ascertain as far as I could, the mind and standing of the people.

    Among the various rumors that came to my ears, there was one in particular that attracted my attention. A young man, it was said, had appeared in Galilee preaching with a noble unction a new law in the name of the God that sent him.

    At first I was apprehensive that his design was to stir up the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews.

    One day in passing by the place in Silwan where there was a great concourse of people, I observed in the midst of the group, a
