Vision is the innermost revelation, which is of perception. Visions are according to the state of humankind. The visions of people whose interiors are closed, are totally different from what is shown to people whose interiors are open. For example, when the Lord appeared to the whole congregation on Mount Sinai, His appearance was a vision varying according to the states of the witnesses, appearing differently to the people than for Aaron, and differently from Aaron as to Moses. So also, the vision was totally different as exhibited to Moses and to the prophets. There are several kinds of visions, and they are more perfect, in proportion to how interior a person is. For the Lord it was the most perfect, because He had a perception of everything in the world of spirits, and in the heavens, and had immediate communication with Jehovah. This communication is described in the internal sense by 'the vision' in which Jehovah appeared to Abram in Genesis 15:1.

'Vision' in Zechariah 13:4 signifies falsities.

10198. 'And Aaron shall burn on it' means the raising up by the Lord of worship springing from love and charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'burning incense' as the raising up of everything of worship springing from love and charity, dealt with above in 10177; and from the representation of 'Aaron', the high priest, as the Lord in respect of Divine Good and in respect of the work of salvation, dealt with in 9806, 9965, 10068. 'Burning incense' means the raising up of worship because 'the fire' was a sign of the good of love, so that all that came forth from the fire was a sign of such things as emanate from love. This was why not only the light but also the smoke was representative. For the meaning of 'the fire' as the good of love, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 10055; and the fact that 'the smoke' too represented it is clear in Isaiah,

Jehovah will create over every habitation of Zion a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a fire by night. Isaiah 4:5.

And in John,

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power. Revelation 15:8.

The fact that 'the smoke of the incense' means the raising up of prayers, and so in general the raising up of everything of worship, is evident in the same book,

The smoke of the incense went up from the prayers of the saints. Revelation 8:4.
