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.

7103. “埃及王对他们说” 表来自那些沉浸于虚假之人的回答. 这从 “说” 的含义和法老的代表清楚可知: 当法老对摩西和亚伦说时, “说” 是指相反的思维, 如前所述 (7094节), 因而是指包含在回答中的思维; 法老, 或 “埃及王” 是指虚假的记忆知识 (6651, 6679, 6683, 6692节), 因而是指那些沉浸于虚假的人.
