Wine

Proverbs 20:1- Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise

Wine"IS" we are not told that wine might be, could be, will be but told that wine is, present tense.

Is what? "A MOCKER" makes light of, laughs at, deceives, disappoints.

"STRONG DRINK" Having physical active power, or great physical power; having the power of exerting great bodily force;

A drink that has the ability to change

"IS RAGING" Violent anger accompanied with furious words, gestures or agitation; anger excited to fury

"WHOSOEVER "any one, any person

"DECEIVED" mislead

IS NOT WISE" not having knowledge; not having the power of discerning and not judging correctly.

 Wine will disappoint because it has an active power that will change with great bodily force.

One can be deceived that wine is good for you

In a study of more than 32,000 men in France, those who got more than half their alcohol consumption from wine had a lower risk of death from heart disease and several different cancers. NYDailyNews.com/health July 22, 2013

When deceived one becomes not wise to the facts of what God says.

One drink is too many and a 1000 is not enough. Be wise and stay away from it altogether. Oh you may have a lower risk of heart disease but you also might have a lower risk of heaven.  It's a strong drink.
