Foretelling
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
Foretelling is the ability to tell the future with unerring accuracy, if not always great clarity. The ability is believed to be linked to the One Power by Aes Sedai, and is thus classified as a Talent even though it requires no active use of the Power. Indeed, it is usually not under the control of the speaker as to when it comes upon her (or him), and sometimes they do not remember, themselves, what they have Foretold.

“From this day Andor marches toward pain and division. The Shadow has yet to darken to its blackest, and I cannot see if the Light will come after. Where the world has wept one tear, it will weep thousands. This I Foretell.”
“This, too, I Foretell. Pain and division come to the whole world, and this man [Rand] stands at the heart of it.”

“The White Tower will be whole again, except for remnants cast out and scorned, whole and stronger than ever. Rand al'Thor will face the Amyrlin Seat and know her anger. The Black Tower will be rent in blood and fire, and sisters will walk its grounds. This I Foretell.”
— Elaida, ACOS Prologue
