for example: say you're in medeivel times and you saw a vision of an automobile or an airplane, how would you describe it using the known language of the day?

I suggest the bible is incomplete for that reason. Not enough technology at that time to reflect present day reality. God wants to tell us something about how to behave, where do we find his words for today?

You wouldn't know the names of the things if you looked into the future all you could honestly do is discribe them with the language that you had, perhaps you could draw it, or something?
But the language would be a big problem, actually putting a name to something...

I would figure it out and describe thae look,color,size,and actions of what I saw and maybe use some figurative language like metaphors, I am a pretty articulate person, I think I could handle it

lol it would be a carriage or chariot without horses and with a roof and it would move at the speed of a hundred wildfires. There's no way I'd be able to describe an advanced future...I'd end up sounding like a moron (like I just did!).

Of course it would sound like childish babble to the people of the future.

I would use movies as references. Such as "that thing with the thing in Star Wars" or "the doo-dad in 5th Element."
