NOTES:
Prophecies may be interpreted literally, symbolically, metaphorically, spiritually, politically, culturally, or psychologically. Their influence often depends upon belief, authority, tradition, interpretation, and collective acceptance.
CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:
Future narratives gain power when they are believed. A prophecy functions as an expectation-generating mechanism that transforms imagined futures into meaningful possibilities. By framing future events as anticipated, destined, revealed, or inevitable, prophecies influence present behavior, interpretation, planning, hope, fear, and collective orientation toward the future.
