Are "miraculous visions" sometimes misinterpreted?

Question

Many religious traditions have accounts of visions. Do you think that these were interpreted in the context of the culture of the time? How reliable were the prophets when they talked about what a vision meant?
Do you think a vision is an occurrence that human beings will better understand in the next few hundred years?

Answer 1

I don't think it's pure chance that apparitions tended to be gods and heroes in ancient times, Saints or the Virgin until recently, and UFOs nowadays.
I try to keep an open mind. Although some of them are patently made up, others might be genuine, but the interpretation changes with cultural context. So there IS something there to see, but our mind cloaks it into the cultural references it can make some kind of sense with.

Answer 2

Another goody. Do you and felines collaborate with the Fisherman on these. You should, you could have your own column in the news. Very funny!!

Answer 3

All true prophets are accurate... Its just that not all people are always ready for the truth.. Or ready to live in that truth.............. Or they just want all that power for themselves....................
