Subject: What would this sound like? |
Bible Note: Hi Suede, Yes, I think Rev. 1:15 is definitely a figure of speech but I thought is came closer to a simile then a metaphor because it is introduced by the word as or HOS, to link the comparison. A metaphor is more of an implied comparison rather then a direct comparison as a simile with connecting words. Rev. 1:15 (B) and his voice as the sound of many waters. The word voice, nominative, feminine, singular, of the noun PHONE is connected to the genitive, neuter, plural noun HUDATON by the subordinating conjunction HOS. Now that I have all that out of my system, how would you describe it or is it impossible to do? I fine it rather impossible to explain because I can’t comprehend the audible word inflections that could be used to show the comparison of many waters in order to do it! I have never heard many rumbling waters say anything if you get my “drift”? What is the purpose and intent of the writer in using these words and how could I explain it to another since I have never heard many waters talk. I’m even confusing myself now, it’s like trying to explaining red to a blind person who has never seen color! Have a nice day, CDBJ |
