prophesize
Declare coming events
Prophesize means to predict or foretell future events, often with a sense of divine inspiration or supernatural insight: The oracle prophesized the fall of the kingdom.
The word overlaps with prophesy, which is the standard form.
Prophesize appears in speech and informal writing but is considered nonstandard by many editors.
