Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁράω (horaō), meaning "to see" or "to behold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a vision in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by the word חָזוֹן (chazon, Strong's Hebrew 2377), which similarly denotes a divine revelation or prophetic vision. Another related term is מַרְאָה (mar'eh, Strong's Hebrew 4758), which can also refer to a vision or appearance. These Hebrew terms reflect the continuity of the concept of divine visions from the Old Testament to the New Testament, emphasizing the role of visions in conveying God's will and purpose.

Usage: The term ὅραμα is used in the New Testament to describe visions given by God to individuals, often as a means of communication or revelation. It is typically associated with prophetic experiences or divine guidance.

Context: The Greek word ὅραμα (horama) appears in the New Testament to describe instances where individuals receive divine visions. These visions are often characterized by their supernatural nature and serve as a medium through which God imparts knowledge, guidance, or prophecy.

In the New Testament, ὅραμα is used in several key passages. For example, in Acts 9:10, Ananias receives a vision instructing him to visit Saul: "In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, 'Ananias!' 'Here I am, Lord,' he answered." Similarly, in Acts 10:3, Cornelius has a vision of an angel of God: "About the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who came to him and said, 'Cornelius!'"

These visions often serve to direct the actions of the early Christians, providing them with divine insight and instructions. The use of ὅραμα underscores the belief in a God who actively communicates with His people, guiding them through supernatural means. The visions are not merely dreams or hallucinations but are considered authoritative messages from God, often leading to significant developments in the narrative of the early Church.
