It is used to describe instances where individuals receive insight or messages from God through a visual experience. This term emphasizes the act of seeing beyond the natural realm, often involving prophetic or spiritual insight.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, visions were considered a significant means of divine communication. Both in Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, visions were often associated with prophecy and were seen as a way for the divine to reveal truths or future events to chosen individuals. In the context of the early Christian church, visions were a testament to the active presence of the Holy Spirit and were instrumental in guiding and affirming the faith of believers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3708.htm">horaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the act of seeing, a vision, appearance<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appearance (2), vision (1), visions (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3706: ὅρασις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὅρασις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁράσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ὁράω</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">the act of seeing</span>: <span class="greek2">ὀμμάτων</span> <span class="greek2">χρῆσις</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">ὅρασιν</span>, Wis. 15:15; <span class="accented">the sense of sight,</span> <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, de anima 3, 2; <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 1, 59; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, mor., p. 440f; plural <span class="accented">the eyes,</span> <span class="greek2">ἐκκόπτειν</span> <span class="greek2">τάς</span> <span class="greek2">ὁράσεις</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 2, 6. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">appearance, visible form</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/4-3.htm">Revelation 4:3</a> (<a href="/interlinear/numbers/24-4.htm">Numbers 24:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/1-5.htm">Ezekiel 1:5, 26, 28</a>; Sir. 41:20, etc.). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">a vision,</span> i. e. an appearance divinely granted in an ecstasy: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-17.htm">Revelation 9:17</a>; <span class="greek2">ὁράσεις</span> <span class="greek2">ὄψονται</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-17.htm">Acts 2:17</a> from <a href="/interlinear/joel/2-28.htm">Joel 2:28</a>.
