Basically speaking, it is Jesus Christ. The New Testament is framed around the arrival of Christ and his works and the works of those around his times. The Old Testament of course is framed around God (and the other names He has) and the history of the world since He created it. The New Testament is God again but this time in the form of Jesus. Unfortunately, the New Testament was not agreed upon until about 400 years after Christ's death. A group of religeous and political scholars and leaders got together at a place called Nicaea to decide on which diaries 'gospels' would go into the New Testament. Since this time, other diaries 'gospels' have been found (such as the dead sea scrolls) which have caused some questions. I am not a religeous person per se but beleive that there is something bigger than us 'out there'. It doesn't matter how accurate these stories are; we all tend to remember things a bit differently. It comes down to faith. Personally, I think The Bible is a simple way of explaining evolution. Whether at was all started by 'The Big Bang' (which incidently the Catholic Church was the first to propose) or whether it all started by a supreme being, or whether a supreme being caused the 'Big Bang' or whatever it doesn't really matter. We all have our own belief or 'faith' even it we don't 'believe' we still believe in non believing.

Another Answer:

Few realize that the entire structure of the Bible is around God's divine covenants with mankind - revealing and describing the relationship God wants to have with every human being.

The capstone of these covenants is the New Covenant (New Testament) which was implemented when Jesus died at His crucifixion (Luke 22:20). In the New Covenant, God gathers together all of the carefully planned details of His plan of salvation for all mankind. If we are to benefit from this wonderful plan, it is essential that we correctly understand the meaning and purpose of the New Covenant that Christ implemented (notice it is started and not yet fully in place).

Why was Herod afraid of a baby?

Herod was supposed to be afraid of the baby Jesus because of the unrest a "new king" would possibly bring. This is according to the New Testament.
