What is an example of a non-biblical vision?

  1. Jesus appearing on toast

  2. Joan of Arc's visions of saints

  3. A modern political leader's dream

  4. Moses parting the Red Sea

The correct answer is: Joan of Arc's visions of saints

The choice involving Joan of Arc's visions of saints represents a non-biblical vision as it originates from a historical figure whose experiences are outside the context of the biblical narratives. Joan of Arc claimed to receive divine guidance through visions and voices from saints, particularly during the Hundred Years' War. These experiences shaped her mission and actions but are not documented in the Bible, making them distinct from biblical stories. In contrast, the other options involve either biblical themes or well-known biblical events. For instance, Jesus appearing on toast would be a whimsical interpretation but still refers to a biblical figure in contemporary culture. A modern political leader's dream, while potentially powerful, does not specifically tie into religious or spiritual frameworks. Lastly, Moses parting the Red Sea is a key event described in the Bible, categorizing it firmly within biblical visions or miracles.
