Yes they are, in the book of Exodus is where we see them first. The Jewish
Bible is basically the Old Testament only, whereas the Christian Bible has
both the Old and New Testament.
A freind of mine recounts an interesting story. He went to a Jewish wedding
where one of the Bride and Groom's friends was asked to read from the Bible.
Knowing he was a Christian the father of the Groom watched like a hawk to make
sure nothing was read from the New Testament, so the friend carefully selected
a passage from the book of Isaiah. Well, the father flew off in a rage and
accused the friend of all sorts of anti-Semetic things because he thought the
friend was reading from the New Testament, until he pointed out the passage he
read from the Old Testament. I love that story.

| (...) I seem to remember that Isaiah is one of the major source of messianic prophecy. Sounds like the friend was carefully trying to provoke the father of the groom. Steve (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
