John and the Nazarite Vow

Someone must have impressed on John (Yochanan) what his name meant, and that he was a Nazarite prior to his birth.. Thus it would have been natural, because of the work of the Supernatural, to assume this vow. Oh that we could pass on to our children and to one another the value God places on not only human life but human beings living, and what by His favor toward them they could accomplish for His kingdom!in this life.
