"Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;

- Proverbs 22:10

Drive Out the Mocker or Self-Destruct    

The mocker cannot be taught or corrected (Proverbs 9:7-8). The mocker hates those who love
them and try to help them (Proverbs 9:8 and 15:12). In a group situation the simple will follow the mocker and join their rebellious and divisive behavior. Punishing the mocker will teach the simple (Proverbs 21:11). But, driving the mocker out of the group will remove strife, quarrels and insults.

The words “drive out” indicates the ending of a relationship by force (Genesis 3:24; Genesis 4:14;
Exodus 23:29-30; Joshua 24:18; Psalm 78:55)

Certain organizations, groups or religious institutions do not need to be ended or reformed, but instead, they simply need to apply the principle of expulsion of the member who is the mocker. Remove the mocker to save the institution, church or social program. If the mocker is feared or respected within the organization the mocker will drive out the wise and that same institution will continue to decline further into corruption until it self-destructs or becomes insignificant.

  Christian Quote from Church History
"Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves getting it."
- Don Herold
Something to Ponder??

In the Old Testament the priests served as mediators between the Lord and the people. Generally speaking, the priest were part of the institution of established religion and they spoke to the Lord for the people. Contrary to this, also in a general sense, where the prophets who spoke to the people for the Lord and were often outside the institution of established religion (think of Elijah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist). Priest were on the inside of the system and spoke for the people. Prophets were on the outside of the system and spoke for the Lord.

 
Hebrew and Greek Word Study   Facts and Information

Zogreo (Gr) – to capture alive (Eng) – the Greek word zogreo comes from the vocabulary of hunting and war. Zogreo occurs 2x in the NT referring to being caught in a net.

Luke 5:10“Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.' ”

In Greek writing zogreo usually means “kill,” “massacre,” “annihilate.”
Herodotus says, “The Persians zogreo (“massacred”) a large number…and made others prisoners.”
Thucydides says, “The Syracusans had either captured or killed a large number of men.”

Often men were not killed in battle, but were instead zogreo is used to refer to them being
“captured alive” and taken as prisoners. These captured men are said to be executed in the end,
put in weighted fetters, sacrificed, mutilated or tortured.

The reason zogreo, “to be taken alive,” is better than death is because there is
still hope of a future liberation.

Besides Jesus using zogreo in Luke 5:10 the other NT use of zogreo is by Paul in 2 Timothy 2:26:

"God may perhaps grant them repentanceleading to a knowledge of the truth, 
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil,
after being captured by him to do his will."

- 2 Timothy 2:25-26

Confession to Action   Facts and Information
I will not tolerate the mocker, but will instead promote those who seek and speak wisdom.   "Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth
of a fool invites ruin."
