prophetic vision
Sight of tomorrow
A prophetic vision is a vivid mental experience believed to reveal future events or divine truth.
The term appears in religious and mystical contexts, where visions are understood as messages from God or spiritual forces: The prophet described his prophetic vision of the end times.
More loosely, prophetic vision describes unusual foresight about how things will unfold: Steve Jobs had a prophetic vision of personal computing.
