WHAT IS A VISION. . .

• chazon 2377, vision

Chazon always signifies a means of divine
revelation.
First, it refers to the means itself, to a
prophetic vision by which divine messages are
communicated The days are prolonged, and every
vision faileth Ezekiel 1222.
Second, this word represents the message received
by prophetic vision Where there is no vision,
the people perish but he that keepeth the law,
happy is he Proverbs 2918. (from
Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words)
