Vision
In the Bible, the term "vision" often refers to a supernatural revelation or insight granted by God, enabling individuals to perceive divine truths, future events, or spiritual realities. The Hebrew word for vision, "חָזוֹן" (chazon), appears frequently in the Old Testament, particularly in the prophetic books, where it denotes revelations received by prophets, such as Isaiah (Isaiah 1:1) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:1). These visions were instrumental in conveying God's messages, guidance, and warnings to His people, often involving symbolic imagery that required interpretation.In the New Testament, the concept of vision continues, as seen in the visions experienced by apostles like Peter (Acts 10:9-16) and John in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 1:1). These visions served not only to inform and instruct the early church but also to encourage believers by revealing God's ultimate plan and sovereignty. Overall, biblical visions are characterized by their divine origin, their role in revealing God's will, and their capacity to inspire faith and obedience among God's followers.
