divine visions
Holy prophetic sights
Divine visions are experiences in which someone perceives communication from a god or the supernatural—images, scenes, or revelations not visible to ordinary sight.
Religious figures receive divine visions as guidance or prophecy: The prophet described his divine visions of the end times.
The phrase can be used skeptically to dismiss claims of supernatural insight: He thinks his divine visions make him special.
