Prolepsis

This is a fancy term used mostly in theological circles which denotes a present experience of a future reality.  Examples can be when Jesus was transfigured on the mount in front of Peter, James and John.  The disciples were experiencing a prolepsis.  We also can have a prolepsis of heaven when we are lifted up in the Spirit and filled with the unfiltered joy that our relationship with Jesus can bring - a taste of heaven in the here and now!
