Today, focus is on the Bible as a single source of correct sacred knowledge for Jews, Christians, and others. Christian believers are to accept that there is only one continuous, multifaceted revelation of divinity that has been going forth throughout existence intended to make Deity knowable, known, accessible and approachable. By receiving inseparable aspects of spirit content from the makeup of GOD (e.g., faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, meekness, wrath against sin), men and women living on the earth are being made fit to enter into intimate and personal relationships with GOD, and experience the Creator in ways that are orderly and regular, yet, dynamic and organic. The Jews, as a people have been the heirs for the priesthood from GOD delivered to Adam, and supported by divinity as those who demonstrate, obey, preserve, and publish divine law and sacred oracles. Even so, as with Christians in the coming day of the Lord, only a remnant from among the Jews will be acknowledged as part of the Savior’s harvest when he returns (i.e., his appearing; the Advent; the Rapture; the Second Coming).
It is written:
Ephesians 1: 7-11, King James Version (KJV): 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Kehillah in Ephesus 1: 7-11, Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB): 4 Just as He picked us out to be part of Hashem’s Bechirim (Chosen Ones) before the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world), that we should be Kadoshim and without mum (defect, VAYIKRA 22: 20) before Him in ahavah: [VAYIKRA 11: 44; 20: 7; SHMUEL BAIS 22: 24; TEHILLIM 15: 2] 5 Having provided the yi’ud merosh (predestination) for us to be chosen as adopted bnei brit through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to Himself, according to the chafetz (good pleasure) of His ratzon (will), 6 To the tehilat kavod of the Chen v’Chesed Hashem of Him (to the praise of the glory of His grace) by which Hashem freely favored us in the Moshiach HaAhuv. 7 In Him we have the pedut (redemption, Geulah release on payment of ransom) through the [kapporah] dahm of Moshiach [YESHAYAH 53: 10-12; DANIEL 9: 26; BAMIDBAR 19: 20], the selichat chatoteinu (forgiveness of our sins), according to the osher (wealth) of His Chen v’Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d); 8 Which He lavished upon us, 9 In all chochmah (wisdom) and binah (understanding), having made hisgalus (revelation) to us of the sod of His ratzon (mystery of His will), His chafetz (good pleasure), according to the etza (counsel, plan of G-d) which Hashem set forth in Moshiach: 10 For a pekudat Hashem (stewardship of G-d), a plan for the fullness of time, gathering up all things in Moshiach, both the things in Shomayim and the things on Ha’Aretz in Him. 11 In Moshiach we have also obtained a nachalah (allotted inheritance, TEHILLIM 16: 5-6), having been predestined according to the tochnit Hashem (purposeful and willed plan of G-d), who works all things after the counsel of His ratzon,

Can someone clarify which part of the bible is for the Jews, which part is for everyone else, and where it says in the bible that it is so?
It is the entire OT for the Jews, and the entire NT for everyone else?
But some things confuse me, like when Jesus said he didn't come to change the law.. so why did the law change then?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Revelation 7: 4-17, King James Version (KJV): And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Kehillah in Ephesus 2: 4-17, Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB): And I heard the mispar (number) of the ones having been sealed, 144,000, having been marked with the chotam (seal) from kol shivtei Bnei Yisroel (every tribe of the Sons of Israel), Of the shevet of Yehudah, 12,000 having been sealed; of the shevet of Re’uven, 12,000, of the shevet of Gad, 12,000, Of the shevet of Asher, 12,000, of the shevet of Naphtali, 12,000, of the shevet of M’nasheh, 12,000, Of the shevet of Shim’on, 12,000, of the shevet of Levi, 12,000, of the shevet of Yissass’khar, 12,000, Of the shevet of Z’vulun, 12,000, of the shevet of Yosef, 12,000, of the shevet of Binyamin, 12,000. After these things I looked, and, hinei, a great multitude, which to number no one was being able, out of every nation and from shevatim (tribes) and haumim (the peoples) and lashonot (tongues), standing before the Kes (Throne) and before the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12: 3; YESHAYAH 53: 7 Moshiach), each clothed with a kittel and lulavim in their hands. And they cried with a kol gadol (loud voice), saying, Yeshu’at Eloheinu is of Hashem, our G-d, the One sitting on the Kes (Throne), and of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12: 3; YESHAYAH 53: 7 Moshiach). And all the malachim stood around the Kes (Throne) and the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12: 21) and the Arbah Chayyot and they fell before the Kes (Throne) on their faces and they worshiped Hashem, saying, [TEHILLIM 3: 8] Omein, the bracha (blessing) and the kavod (glory) and the chochmah (wisdom) and the hodayah (thanksgiving) and the hod (honor) and the oz (power) and the gevurah (strength) be to Hashem Eloheinu l’Olelamei Olamim. Omein. And one of the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12: 21) answered, saying to me, These ones, each wearing a kittel, who are they and from where did they come? And I said to him, Adoni, you have da’as. And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of HaTzarah HaGedolah (The Great Tribulation, Mt. 24: 29) and each washed his kittel and whitened it in the dahm of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12: 3; YESHAYAH 53: 7 Moshiach). Therefore, they are before the Kes (Throne) of Hashem and serve Him yomam valailah in His Beis Hamikdash, and the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) will pitch the tent of His Mishkan over them. [YESHAYAH 4: 5] They will hunger no more nor thirst nor shall the shemesh (sun) strike them nor any scorching heat, [YESHAYAH 49: 10] Because the SEH, (Lamb, SHEMOT 12: 3; YESHAYAH 53: 7 Moshiach) at the center of the Kes (Throne), will shepherd them and will lead them to the Makor Mayim Chayyim [“Fountain, source of Living Waters,” YIRMEYAH 2: 13], and Hashem will wipe away every tear from their eynayim. [YESHAYAH 25: 8; 35: 10; 51: 11; 65: 19]

“Anonymous”, many modern believers receive the Bible as a single collection of 66 to 77 books, and a complete library of holy writings intended for all created beings and living creatures. (Believers are cautioned, even the devil is known to quote Scripture.) While various sacred documents included have been entrusted to, protected, reproduced, and shared among certain Eastern tribes and language groups, the Bible is acknowledged as having been recorded by men on the earth responding to the active presence we now speak of as GOD. The Bible presents accounts that describe Creation, divine order, eternal purpose, and different aspects of sacred process from our Maker’s point of view (i.e., thousands of events, in thousands of lives, over the course of thousands of years).
The different documents of the Bible include oral traditions that have been recorded; bequests, estates and inheritances, regarding priesthood and divine gifts; chronicles and government records; covenants and divine law; liturgy, poetry and sacred songs for worship; divine promises; wisdom contained in parables and proverbs; and prophecy as well as testimony and witness pertaining to judgment. The Bible is respected as the most important and reliable source of sacred knowledge that addresses the origins of heaven and earth, of the life forms that include angels, animals, insects, and mankind, of multiple covenant relationships with GOD, and of the character, makeup and spirit content of divinity.
GOD is a spirit whom men are to acknowledge as having authority, immortality, ownership of all that exists, personness, power, and sovereign will. Divinity has appeared on the earth using human form (we say, Incarnation) to accomplish multiple sacred works such as atonement and propitiation for sin, the gathering of all believers within a single kingdom of GOD, and the transformation of those approved through judgment to exist as eternal companions of divinity. Consider, again, the following that uses the language from the Scriptures:
Psalms 52: 7-8 , King James Version (KJV): 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
Tehillim 52: 8-9, Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB): 8 (10) But I am like a green zayit (olive tree) in the Beis Elohim; I trust in the chesed Elohim olam va’ed. 9 (11) I will give Thee thanks l’olam, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait on Shimecha; for it is tov before Thy chasidim.
Ephesians 4: 4-7, KJV: 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Kehillah 4: 2-7, OJB: 2 With all anavah (humility) of mind and meekness, with savlanut (longsuffering), showing forbearance to one another in ahavah, 3 Being eager to keep the achdus (unity) of the Ruach Hakodesh in the uniting bond of shalom; 4 As there is one guf (body) [Gn 47: 18; Ps 16: 9-10; Job 19: 25-27; Isa 53: 11] and one Ruach Hakodesh, as also you were called in one tikvah (hope) of your kri’ah: 5 Adon echad, emunah achat, tevilah achat, 6 One G-d and Avi khol (Father of all), who is over all and through all and in all. [DEVARIM 6: 4; ZECHARYAH 14: 9] 7 But to each of us was given the Chen v’Chesed Hashem according to the measure of the Matnat HaMoshiach.
There is far more to be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) Ephesians 2: 8-22, KJV: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Kehillah in Ephesus 2: 8-22, OJB: 8 For by unmerited Chen v’Chesed Hashem you have been delivered from Hashem’s Mishpat (Judgment) and granted a share in the Geulah (Redemption), through emunah; and this is not [an einfal (intuitive idea)] of yourselves, it is a matnat Hashem (gift of G-d); 9 Not the result [of the zchus (merit)] of doing ma’asim (works) [Ac 15: 1; Ga 5: 3 4], so that before Hashem no man should be a ravrevan (boaster, braggart). [DEVARIM 9: 5] 10 For we are His masterpiece, having been created in Moshiach Yehoshua for ma’asim tovim, which Hashem prepared beforehand, that the derech of our halakhah should be in them. [YESHAYAH 29: 23; 42: 7; 60: 21;] 11 Therefore, have zikaron (remembrance) that formerly you, the Goyim in the flesh, who are called “arelim” (uncircumcised ones) by the ones being called “nimolim” (circumcised ones) which is a Bris Milah performed in the flesh by human hands 12 Have zikaron (remembrance) that you were at that time bazunder (unrelated and separate) from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having been alienated from the torat haEzrakhut (the citizenship) in the Am Brit, from Yisroel, being zarim (strangers) to the Beritot HaHavtacha, farloiren (lost) and having no tikvah (hope) and without G-d in the Olam Hazeh. [YESHAYAH 14: 1; 65: 1] 13 But now in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you, who formerly where in the outermost courts, have been brought near by the kapporah of the dahm of Moshiach. 14 For Moshiach himself is our shalom, who made the Shneym into Echad, having broken down in the basar of Moshiach the barrier of the Mechitzah (the dividing partition), the Soreg (barrier of the holy precinct in the Beis HaMikdash between Jews and non-Jews), the Eyvah (Enmity), 15 By annulling the chok (decree, law) of mishpatim in ordinances that the Shnaym He might create in Himself into Adam Chadash Echad (One New Humanity), arbitrating shalom, 16 And that Moshiach might bring the ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity), reconciling to Hashem the Shnaym into one guf (body) [BERESHIS 47: 18; TEHILLIM 16: 9-10; IYOV 19: 25-27; YESHAYAH 53: 11] through the Moshiach’s Etz, having put to death the Eyvah by it. 17 And having come, Moshiach preached shalom to you, the ones in the outermost courts, and shalom to the ones near; [TEHILLIM 148: 14; YESHAYAH 57: 19] 18 Because through Moshiach we both have HaSha’ar laHashem (gate to approach G-d’s presence, access of the tzaddikim TEHILLIM 118: 20) by one Ruach Hakodesh to Elohim HaAv. 19 Therefore, then, no longer are you zarim and aliens, but you are fellow citizens of the Kadoshim and bnei bayit members of the household of G-d, 20 Having been built upon the yesod (foundation) of the Shlichim and Nevi’im, Moshiach Yehoshua himself being the ROSH PINAH (TEHILLIM 118: 22), 21 In whom all the binyan (edifice), being fitly joined together, grows into a Heikhal Kadosh b’Hashem;) 22 In whom also you are being built together into a Mishkan of Hashem in the Ruach Hakodesh. [T.N. In this chapter Rav Sha’ul uses the courts of the Beis Hamikdash to teach the saving work of Moshiach.]) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
