prophetic insight
Seeing what's coming
Prophetic insight refers to an understanding or perception that seems to anticipate future events or reveal hidden truths before they become apparent to others.
The term carries religious connotations, suggesting wisdom delivered through divine inspiration, but it's used more broadly for any remarkably prescient observation or judgment.
Her prophetic insight about the housing market collapse saved us from financial ruin.
Someone with prophetic insight sees what others miss and often proves correct in ways that seem almost supernatural.
