Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym予言よげんNeutralNeutral word for predicting the future; 予 ('beforehand') gives it no built-in religious nuance, so it suits fortune-tellers' predictions and famous cases like Nostradamus.

Both read よげん, so the kanji distinguishes them: use 預言 for prophecy in the religious sense, and 予言 as the neutral, general word for predicting future events.
