Proverbs Chapter 20
Instructor: Prophetess Diane Grimble
We begin this chapter speaking of wine as a strong drink, thus beginning a new theme regarding temperance. Wine was grape juice mixed with water to dilute it, but strong drink was unmixed. (See Eph. 5:18 “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;) While the use of these beverages is not specifically condemned, being intoxicated always is. Rulers were not to drink so that their judgment would not be clouded nor their behavior less that exemplary.
