Metaphor, what does it mean?

Metaphor MET'APHOR, noun [Gr. to transfer, over, to carry.] A short similitude; a similitude reduced to a single word; or a word expressing similitude without the signs of comparison. Thus 'that man is a fox, ' is a metaphor; but 'that man is like a fox, ' is a similitude or comparison . So when I say, 'the soldiers fought like lions, ' I use a similitude. In metaphor the similitude is contained in the name; a man is a fox, means, a man is as crafty as a fox. So we say, a man bridles his anger, that is, restrains it as a bridle restrains a horse. Beauty awakens love or tender passions; opposition fires courage. http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/Metaphor How many times does the SRod message use the word Metaphor? One time.

After those references are clearly acknowledged then we are going to address a popular objection. After resolving the objection we are going to examine the weight of evidence from the SRod itself. 1.   [1930]   1SR:46.3    We read in Testimonies to Ministers, page 445: "This sealing of the servants of God [the 144,000: Rev. 7] is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision."   Then the sealing of the 144,000 is the same as Ezekiel 9, and the marking by the man with the writer's inkhorn is the seal .   As soon as the marking is done, "the five men with the slaughter weapons go after him and slay both old and young, both maids and little children, and women.   And they began at the ancient men which were before the house."    It is AT this time the 144,000 are marked, or sealed.—1SR:46.3,...

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light - (d)

Understanding the additional Fundamental Beliefs, part 4 of 4 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved . But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest , that they are wrought in God. —John 3:20, 21 It is October 15, 1934 in Los Angeles, California. The Symbolic Code News Items in the interest of the SDA Denomination is in effect. What does the “FATHER OF LIGHTS” deem necessary to be known and understood by the …”Battering Rams” who encompass “Mount Zion”…? It is written down on the very first page of Volume One No. 4. This great admonition is judiciously tied to “…tract #4, ‘The Latest News for Mother,’ pp. 65, 66” [ which is strategically violated because of differences of opinions ] followed by “(Keep This Article in Your Notebook)” and closes with James 1:22-24.
