It depends, I suppose, what you count as a prediction. Calling Macbeth Thane of Glamis was no prediction; he had inherited the title from his father. Calling him Thane of Cawdor wasn't a prediction either; the king had already given Macbeth the title, even though Macbeth didn't know it, not having been at the battle in Fife where the former Thane showed his treachery. Calling him king hereafter was a prediction, and true as the play shows. Saying that Banquo's descendants will become kings is a prediction and also true, since he was supposed to be the ancestor of King James. Telling Macbeth to beware Macduff was a warning not a prediction. The prediction that no man of woman born could harm him was true enough provided you use the somewhat cockeyed definition of "born" which excludes Caesarian births.
in macbeth the three witches made predictions due to they foretold the happenings of the future of macbeth however weren't meant to interfere then causing the events that followed
The witches predict that Macbeth will be king and how he will fall. These predictions cause Macbeth to dedicate his life to following the witches predictions, doing whatever it takes to make them come true, or to avoid them.
as he thinks that there is no-one born by cerserisan so he believes he is invincible.
The three witches in Shakespeare's play Macbeth predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, and that Banquo's descendants will become kings. Many get confused and think that one of the predictions is that Macbeth will become Thane of Glamis. However this is not a prediction; when the witches meet Macbeth, he is already Thane of Glamis. They also predicted that they would kill him and rape him
They are three "weird sisters" who hang around making potions and making predictions about the future. Their identity is totally created by their function in the play.
Witches Three was created in 1952.

I think that Macbeth was at first not as "worried" about the witches and their curses as then on in the play he finds out that every thing that the witches has been tellin him are true.
Hahah suck it
The second predictions of the three witches dealt with threats against Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The first predictions of Act 1 Scene 3 dealt with Macbeth's seeming destiny. The witches predicted that Macbeth would be promoted to Thane of Cawdor and then to King of Scotland. Their intention was to lure him down the evil road that uncontrolled, raging, greedy ambition would lead him. In Act 4 Scene 1, the witches intended to keep Macbeth on his evil course by a false sense of security about his reign. They led him to believe that he only needed to beware of Macduff. They also made him think that his kingship was bulletproof to men born of women. They specified that his downfall only would happen with the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. But they gave him no explanations. They didn't link any of the predictions together. The information was given to him in an eerily supernatural setting deep within a cavern. So it was difficult for Macbeth to think of concrete, practical explanations for such incredulous events.
That he would be king hereafter. That one was clear. That he would be Thane of Glamis? Not really a prediction, since that had happened in the past and Macbeth knew about it. That he would be Thane of Cawdor? Also not really a prediction, since the King had already named him Thane of Cawdor, which the witches knew but Macbeth didn't. The only thing the witches say in Act I that is about the future is that he will become king. Well, what about Act IV then? You might argue that the predictions in Act IV don't really come from the witches but rather from "their masters", whatever that is supposed to mean. But leaving that aside, the first thing said is "Beware Macduff!". Well, that is no prediction, just a warning. The other two things which are said are both predictions: that Macbeth will not be killed by a man of woman born, and that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. These two, and the one about becoming king, are the three predictions made to Macbeth.
