mystic or prophet with visions
A person who says they see special visions from God, spirits, or another world, often about the future.

a visionary of [religious truths]
常见错误：
Learners may confuse this religious or mystical meaning with the business or leadership meaning. Context with religion, spirits, or supernatural experiences usually shows this sense.
近义词
prophet (Usually specifically a religious figure who speaks for God; 'visionary' can be broader and more mystical.)
|
mystic (Focuses on direct spiritual experience; not all mystics claim clear prophetic visions as a visionary does.)
反义词
