People believe in prophecies because they want to feel safe and sure about the future. Imagine you're a kid, and your friend tells you that tomorrow will be sunny, you might believe them just because it feels good to know what's going on. Prophecies are like that, but for bigger things like life or death. They can sound really magical when they come true, which makes people want to believe in them even more.
