Best Answer

Jewish scripture gives the history of the earth from the creation to around BC 400. Jewish scripture was a school teacher to bring us to the Salvation through Jesus Christ. This Messiah who would die for the sins of the world is discribed in each of the books in the Jewish scripture or typified in the lives of many characters of the Jewish scripture. For example, in Genesis Jesus is the "Seed of the woman," in Exodus "The passover Lamb," in Leviticus "The High Priest," etc.
