The second apparition tells Macbeth to beware of Macduff, saying that he is not born of a woman in the traditional sense but was instead "from his mother's womb untimely ripped." This suggests that Macduff was born through Caesarean section, indicating that he poses a threat to Macbeth.

The witches' second apparition, a bloody child, symbolized Macduff, as he was born by caesarean section and was not "born of woman." This apparition gave Macbeth false security, leading to his downfall.
The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."
The first apparition, an armed head, foreshadows that Macduff will join the army against Macbeth. The second, the bloody child, does not so much foreshadow as reveal the truth about Macduff--that he was born by caesarian section. The third, a crowned child with a tree in his hand, foreshadows that Malcolm, the crowned child, will carry a tree in his hand while fulfilling the prophecy which the apparition speaks.
Macbeth says that the first apparition warns him to beware Macduff, the second apparition tells him to fear no man born of a woman, and the third apparition tells him he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill.
The second series in the Warriors book series is called "The New Prophecy." It follows the journey of the ThunderClan cats after they receive a prophecy that foretells of danger and destruction.
The New Prophecy
The second apparition was a bloody child. It said that no man born of a woman shall harm Macbeth. The third apparition was a crowned child holding a tree. It said that Macbeth will not be vanquished until Birnam woods approaches Dunsinane.
The poem, 'The Apparitions,' by William Butler Yeats, is about an old man reflecting on life and of coming death. The poem has some humor when he talks of the worst apparition being a coat on a coat hanger.
Yeats prophecy for modern civilization is that Western civilization will enter a period of decline. The prophecy comes from the poem The Second Coming.
