Visions

In the Bible, "visions" refer to supernatural experiences in which individuals receive divine revelations or messages from God. These experiences can be both visual and auditory, often conveying profound truths, prophecies, or instructions. The Hebrew term for vision is "ḥazon," which emphasizes the idea of seeing something that is not immediately present to the physical eye (e.g., Isaiah 1:1). Similarly, the Greek term "optasia," used in the New Testament, captures the concept of a sight or appearance that holds spiritual significance (e.g., Acts 10:3).Visions serve various purposes in biblical narratives, such as providing guidance, revealing God’s will, or foretelling future events. Notable examples include the visions of the prophet Ezekiel, who saw a vision of the glory of God (Ezekiel 1), and the apostle John in the Book of Revelation, who received visions concerning the end times (Revelation 1:1). These accounts illustrate how visions are integral to God's communication with humanity, acting as a means to inspire faith, encourage righteousness, and impart knowledge about divine plans.
