The word "prophesy" refers to "the foretelling of prediction of what is to come."
In the movie, the Oracle prophesies several future events. (Whether she is really *seeing* the future or just manipulating others to carry out what she predicts is up for debate.) Overall, her predictions come true except for a few key elements, which should come about in the sequels.
Morpheus: "When the matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us.....After he died, the Oracle prophesized his return and that his coming would hail the destruction of the matrix, end the war, bring freedom to our people. That is why there are those of us who have spent our entire lives looking for him. I did what I did because I believe that search is over." [This much sought after man is referred to as "The One.]
Cypher: "Did you tell why he did it? Why you're here? Jesus! What a mind job. So you're here to save the world."
Morpheus: "She [the Oracle] is a guide, Neo. She can help you to find the path."
Neo: What did she [the Oracle] tell you?
Morpheus: That I would find the One.
The Oracle: "I'd ask you to sit down, but you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the vase....Oh, what is going to bake your noodle later on is, would you have still broken it if I hadn't said anything."
The Oracle: "Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something....your next life maybe, who know?"
The Oracle: "He believes it so blindly that he's going to sacrifice his life to save yours."
The Oracle: "You're going to have to make a choice...One of you [either Morpheus or Neo] is going to die. Which one will be up to you."
The Oracle: "As soon as you step outside of that door, you'll start feeling better. You'll remember you don't believe in any of this fate crap. You're in control of you own life, remember?"
Cypher: "If Morpheus is right, then there's no way I can pull this plug. I mean, if Neo's the One, then there'd have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me. Right? I mean how can he be the One if he's dead?"
Morpheus: "She [the Oracle] told you exactly what you needed to hear, that's all. Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a different between knowing the path and walking the path."
Trinity: "Neo, I want to tell you something, but I'm afraid of what it could mean if I do. Everything the Oracle has told me has come true. Everything but this."
Trinity: "Neo, I'm not afraid anymore. The Oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that man, the man that I loved would be the One. So you see, you can't be dead. You can't be, because I love you. You hear me? I love you."
Trinity [to a dead Neo]: "The Oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that man, the man who I loved would be the One. So you see, you can't be dead. You can't be because I love you."
Note also this quote's connection to a Biblical reference, 1 Corinthians 13: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." Of the three left on the Nebuchadnezzar at the very end of the movie, Tank possessed the hope ("...I'm fairly excited to see what you're capable of, if Morpheus is right and all [...] but if you are...it's a very exciting time."), Morpheus had the faith ("I don't have to hope, Trinity. I know it."), and it was Trinity who felt the love. It was her love (the "greatest" of these three things) that helped bring Neo back to life.
Choi: "Hallelujah. You're may savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ."
Morpheus: "You are the One, Neo. You see, you may have spent the last few years looking for me, but I've spent my entire life looking for you."
Tank: "I knew it. He is the One."

Prophesy
예언
by Dew
예언은 앞으로 일어날 일을 미리 말하는 것이다.
오라클이 미래의 일에 대해 몇가지 예언을 한다. 정말로 미래를 알고 있는지 아니면 그가 예상하는 바가 실현되도록 다른 사람들을 조종하는 것인지 명확히 구분하기는 대단히 힘들다. 영화에서 나온 오라클의 예언 중 일부는 보여지지 않았다. '그'가 재림한 후 세상이 어떻게 변할 것인지에 관한 것인데 이것은 아마도 2편과 3편에서 보여지리라 짐작한다.
(영화에서 오라클과 다른 등장인물의 대사를 통해 많은 예언을 찾을 수 있다. Dew도 많이 열거하고 있지만 생략한다. 역자)
다만 특이하게 성서와의 관련있는 부분만을 소개한다. 고린토 전서 13장 13절이다. "그러므로 믿음과 희망과 사랑, 이 세 가지는 언제까지나 남아 있을 것입니다. 이 중에서 가장 위대한 것은 사랑입니다." 대원 몇몇이 죽고 마지막 남은 대원 중 네오를 제외하면 모피어스와 트리니티와 탱크의 세 사람이다. 이제 네브의 세 사람과 성서의 세 덕목을 짝지어 보자. 탱크는 모피어스의 말대로 네오가 '그'일 것이라고 생각했다. 네오의 훈련 때부터 대단히 흥분한 대화에서 잘 드러난다. 탱크는 희망을 가진 것이다. 모피어스는 처음부터 네오가 '그'라고 믿어 의심치 않았다. 모피어스는 믿음에 대응된다. 트리니티는 네오를 사랑하였고 그 사랑이 네오를 부활하게 했다. 트리니티는 사랑에 해당한다.
