"WATER" the most frequently used metaphor
"Water," representing truth and knowledge, is probably the most frequently used metaphor in the Old Testament
So what can you intuit about "walking on water" and "turning water into wine"?
It also has a connection to the word "prophet"
The ordinary Hebrew word for prophet is nabi , derived from a verb signifying "to bubble forth" like a fountain; hence the word means one who announces or pours forth the declarations of God. The English word comes from the Greek prophetes (profetes ), which signifies in classical Greek one who speaks for another , especially one who speaks for a god , and so interprets his will to man; hence its essential meaning is "an interpreter." The use of the word in its modern sense as "one who predicts" is post-classical. The larger sense of interpretation has not, however, been lost. In fact the English word ways been used in a closer sense. (Underlining added)
