Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions were a primary means through which God communicated with His people, especially through prophets. These visions were considered authoritative and were often recorded as part of the prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible. The culture of the time placed great importance on divine communication, and those who received visions were regarded as having a special connection with God. Visions could come in various forms, including dreams, trances, or direct visual experiences, and were often accompanied by symbolic imagery.
