I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soothsayer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for prophet that I've seen before include "reader" , "One who predicts the future" , "One who anticipates" , "Prognosticator" , "One who foretells the future as in the Bible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
