Most frequently theJewish Holy Book is used to refer to the Five Books of Moses- called the Torah.\n\nThe Fie books of Moses, is just the written part of what God gave to Moses at Sinai- there is another part  called the Mishnah (or oral law).  The Mishnah was written down a few centuries after the destruction of the Second Temple when it was felt that there was a risk of its transmission being compromised by the dispersal of the Jews.  Together woth Mishnah, later Rabbis added further commentaries known as the Gemorrah.  The collection of the Mishnah with the Gemorrahs is known as the Talmud and modern copies contain further commentaries from after the Gemorrah was sealed.\n\nIn addition to the Torah are the writings of the Prophets- Nevi'im ,and writings (? I'm not too sure of this translation) Ketuvim.  The written Torah combined with the Nevi'm and Ketuvim is known as the Tanakh, or as it is popularly called by non-Jews, the Old Testament.

Thousands, possibly tens of thousands or more. One I'd suggest is the Mythologica. It has Roman and Greek and loooots of others but I haven't found another that I like as much. It seems to be the most thorough as well, though I've only ever had small town libraries to search through.

First what is a Holy book and what makes it Holy? Can mankind just say a book is holy and that is it? Is that national law, international, universal law, or is it some greater law of a greater area greater than the universe? \n\nDon't mind me I am always confused for I at times don't have any idea what is really being considered but I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe I should just stand by so others will think I am wise but us stupid people do like to show it and ask questions to affirm it.\n\nI may be wrong but I think that a Holy book is holy cause one says or thinks its Holy. I have two books that I want to use as a comparison. One is a Holy bible cause the word Holy is printed on the cover and the other is not cause the word holy is not printed there. As far as contents both have almost identical words and do cause the same thoughts to come to mind when I read them one at a time or compare them side by side. Of course it ain't over till its orer so I will just wait. Maybe that Holy book will eat up that other book or make that other book just disappear - who knows. It seems all things do in their time occur and Mr Murphy says if it can it will. So I will be patient.\n\nI do respect another who wants to have a Holy Book - that is his choice and I only ask him to respect my position of not doing so and I will respect his position of his choice. Please no war and let us do reason together rather than fight insisting one or the other is wrong or right. Does it really matter anyway?\n\nReally is it the fact the book is considered Holy or is it in the fact of how one does radiate the effect of the book to others? Is it not in the glow of a lamp that does provide the light so one can know the lamp is turned on and of value or not of value for those who want to stay in the dark.  Again I am just making comments and might be wrong again. so just take it as a value if such is to you. If not just ignore it like most other things that do exist all around to be used or atleast observed.\n\nI personally do see a light far away if I am in the dark but in the light some times I have a hard time seeing for sure if the light is on or not. Yes I do wear glasses so maybe that is the reason.\n\nAll of this is to say in my opinion that the word Holy is not the issue or fact. It is how others relate relative to one another whether considered brothers.\n, created, evolved, christian, muslim, or from another named or unnamed division or classification. Why not learn to reason together and let each follow his own Holy Book or not holy book and try to understnd it takes all the unique snow flakes to make a snowman. Ha Ha but a little heat from the sun will make him a puddle of water so the grass can grow after the cold if such was or is on schedule by the One in control if in fact one does accept there is one in control.\n\nIn conclusion In my opinion its not the book that is hard to understand and religion will never be understood. Its in the words the books put on display and the ways they are used that seems to present this hard to understand factor. A baby is very self-centered at birth and that is what the book called the bible says. Likewise all things will pass away and that is what the bible says as I read it. See its simple without those big big words like religion, spiritual, belief, position, Holy, and all that complicated stuff. Learn to be in a manner like a baby knowing if it does seek and seek it will in one way or another get a return. [note I did not say be self-cantered or exactly like a baby] So keep it simple and one will find the simple stuff in understanding. Don't take the simple and twist it all up in a complicated never to be understood package and for a new religion. Seems there is enough of that and enough Holy Books.

9...\n\nWe know on the authority of Scripture that there are nine orders of angels, viz., Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim and Seraphim. That there are Angels and Archangels nearly every page of the Bible tell us, and the books of the Prophets talk of Cherubim and Seraphim. St. Paul, too, writing to the Ephesians enumerates four orders when he says: 'above all Principality, and Power, and Virtue, and Domination'; and again, writing to the Colossians he says: 'whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers'. If we now join these two lists together we have five Orders, and adding Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, we find nine Orders of Angels.

the holy bible is full of prophecies, i suggest you look into the fullfilled and soon to be fulfilled prophecies. It's better than codes, believe me.

I'm not sure, but are you asking about the seals?  There are some that are not opened and won't be until the End Times.  Course, they're not sacred texts, they're seals, locked away in heaven.

The teachings of Buddha and his early disciples are contained in the 29 books of the Ti-pitaka. Most of the Ti-pitaka dates back to the second and third centuries BCE. Each of the three forms of Buddhism has other sacred texts as well.
