I excluded Muslims from the above, because they believe all 3 books, and we don't. So, since we all believe the Quran is not divinely inspired, and the Jews believe the Quran and New Testament is not divinely inspired, do you think there is some guy writing another "divinely inspired" book somewhere right now?
Do you think people would be open to following the new book?

The mormons came up with a new "testament" (The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ) just over a hundred years ago, and have a huge following. I'm sure that same thing could happen today.
Look at Waco, or even Scientology - people will follow anything.
To Paul; Sorry, I wasn't referring to the Mormons as Wacko's. I was referring to Waco and Scientology as groups that have followed other types of Messiahs or teachings.
Mormonism iwas just a reference to Later Books that have been brought by a "prophet."

Jesus said that there would be many false Christ's coming in the end times and it is likely that they also will be writing books. Look what Jesus said almost 2000 years ago:
"At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect— if that were possible.
See, I have told you ahead of time.
"So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it." Matthew 24:23-26
Also in the last book of the Bible Jesus said, "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone ADDS anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." Rev.22:18-19

When we blow up the earth and people are scattered once again and it takes thousands of years to reassemble, a book will be written and no memories of what had transpired previously will contradict the divine origin of it's content.

It already happened. It's called Mormonism and The Book of Mormon, or for the Bahai faith, it is the writings of Baha'ullah
