Word of the Day - 8/29/2008

Cataract

A cataract is a descent of water over a steep surface; a waterfall, especially one of considerable size. In ophthalmology, it has come to mean an abnormality of the eye, characterized by opacity of the lens.

In the Book of Revelation, John describes God as having a voice that sounded like a cataract.

His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. (Revelation 1:15, NASB)
