The spirits conjured by the witches told Macbeth that he would never be defeated until Birnam Wood came against him at Dunsinane. Macbeth figured that this was impossible--what? was the forest going to uproot itself and march across the country? Well, no, but people could cut down the trees and carry them to Dunsinane and that is just what Malcolm's army does. When he sees that, Macbeth sees that the prophecy is coming true after all.
