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: a sight, vision, appearance. Meaning: The term ὅρασις primarily refers to "a vision" or "the act of seeing." It can denote both the physical act of seeing and the spiritual or prophetic experience of receiving a vision. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁράω (horaō), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ὅρασις corresponds to several Hebrew terms related to visions and seeing, including: • Strong's Hebrew 2377: חָזוֹן (chazon) – vision, revelation • Strong's Hebrew 7203: רֹאֶה (ro'eh) – seer, one who sees • Strong's Hebrew 4759: מַרְאָה (mar'eh) – vision, appearance These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of receiving divine insight or revelation, often through visual means, and are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the experiences of prophets and seers. Usage: In the New Testament, ὅρασις is used to describe supernatural visions or revelations given by God. It is often associated with prophetic experiences where divine messages are conveyed through visual means. Context: The Greek term ὅρασις appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize divine revelation and prophetic insight. It is used to describe instances where individuals receive visions that convey God's will or future events. These visions often serve as a means of communication between God and His prophets or apostles, providing guidance, warning, or encouragement. In the Berean Standard Bible, ὅρασις is notably used in Acts 2:17, where Peter quotes the prophet Joel: "‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.’" This passage highlights the eschatological significance of visions as a sign of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days. The concept of ὅρασις is deeply rooted in the biblical tradition of God revealing Himself and His plans through visions. These experiences are not merely subjective but are considered authoritative messages from God, often accompanied by a call to action or a deeper understanding of divine purposes.
