MORPHY'S_MAMA WROTE:
"Would be a Nazarene Judges 13:5; Amos 2:11"
________________________________________________________
Judges 13:5 is in reference to Samson, a NAZARITE.
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor
shall come on his head: for the child shall be a NAZARITE unto
G-D from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of
the hand of the Philistines.
v.7 ...Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now
drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing:
for the child shall be a NAZARITE unto G-D from the womb to
the day of his death.
v.24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson...
Now Jesus was called a Nazarene due to residence in Nazareth.
He was not a Nazarite.
"Nazarene" also became a derogatory term; another word for
"despised one."
All those prophecies describing Messiah as a "despised one" are
fulfilled in his being a Nazarene.
The Christians were called "Nazarenes" (ACTS 24:5) a
contemptuous appellation, as the followers of Jesus, whose
presumed descent from Nazareth stamped him as a false
Messiah.
Other Nazarites besides Samson include:
Samuel (l Sam. 1:11); John the Baptist (Luke 1:5).
The Apostle Paul fulfilled his Nazarite vow when he shaved
his head at Cenchrea (Acts 18:18), although according to
Law (Num. 6:9,18) and the Talmud the shaving of the head
was required to be done at the door of the Tenple.
"SHALOM!"
