Yes they did; it is Numbers 6:2. He is prophet, priest,
king and priests separate themselves.
Matt 2:23 is not specifically just a place name.

But did they find the OT verse that Matthew was
referring to in Matthew 2:23 when he wrote:
"and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.
So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets:
"He will be called a Nazarene."

Actually, you missed it, Caroline. Our good
friends on the Right really believe that the King James Version is
inspired. Yes, that is correct
........ inspired. It has to be
---- the KJV being inspired --- because we have none of the
original texts. None !! No not one. !!!
So ---------------- since God's law must be
established in print, the King James is the "book for me, " as
they are often sing. After all, it (the KJV version of the O.T.)
is actually quoted verbatim, including the italicized wording, in the
N.T!!! That's right. (You on the Right correct me is
I have misstated the position.) So, there you have
it. It must be inspired or it wouldn't have been
quoted, God inspired the first writers (Paul and Moses and
even unknown writers [Hebrews] ) , but we lost all those manuscripts
-- so God reestablished them in the English Bible (KJV) to the
exclusion of all other languages and translations (apologies to the
various ethnics around the world) . It was actually and
originally called the Virgin King James Bible but that had it's own problems
(no one knew if "virgin" applied to the cross dressing James or to the Bible
itself) so they went with the less controversial "KJV." He
was an "evangelical Christian," King James. Apparently the
first. His non-scholars (only the ignorant and
unwise have anything to do with the Received Text) did all the
necessary work - thank the Lord -- so modern day books and "word
studies" really have no place in present day Christian discussion.
Today, the kind and gracious KJ representatives survive, although their
numbers continue to dwindle. They are quite sectarian in their
sense of community ( some see this as a contradiction of terms but they
don't) -- i.e., they fellowshiip Roman Catholic
members only if they are in a coma. They maintain a secret list
of "essentials" and use these "essentials" to determine if others
"have the Spirit of enlightenment," also known as the "Spirit of
God." Their preferred method of evangelism is the bullhorn
and a thing called "rebuking." They actually believe that the
rebuking of a total stranger carries more weight and influence than the
loving and patient touch (n the name of the Lord) in a process called
"discipling (as in "Go ye and make disciples
....").
You will find, my dear Caroline,
that their goal in life is save through rebuking ........God using
them to break your evil will and bring true surrender into your
life. White flags offered during a "discussion" with these
people have nothing to do with the "surrender" they have in mind. More
than an inspired English version, this kind and gentle minority
believe their very opinions of biblical matters to be inspired as
well -- to the degree that many of them consider
their "interpretation" (a word straight from the pits of Hell --
which is located in the middle of the earth, somewhere south of Compton,
California.) to be on a level with the Apostles and Prophets of
old. That's right. We even have ancient manuscripts
written by this dwindling crowd bearing this testimony.
So be careful when you encounter one of these people. At
first, they will appear to be quite normal in appearance
--------------- until they smile, of course. They
constantly quote scripture and take frequent showers. The best areas
of conversation are those found on opposite sides of a street. On
those rare occasions that find yourself lonesome and alone, seek
out a well lite street corner, hold up a sign that reads "I love
Baxter Kruger" (whether you do or not is unimportant) and
wait. Company is on the way.
