Strong's Lexicon horasis: Vision, sight Original Word: ὅρασις Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: horasis Pronunciation: ho'-ra-sis Phonetic Spelling: (hor'-as-is) Definition: Vision, sight Meaning: a sight, vision, appearance. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁράω (horaō), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "horasis" is חָזוֹן (chazon), which also means vision or revelation, as seen in passages like Proverbs 29:18: "Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law." Usage: In the New Testament, "horasis" primarily refers to a supernatural vision or a divine revelation. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
