He knows all past, present and future knowledge relating to Thebans and Thebes.

How does Teiresias reveal Oedipus' guilt?
Teiresias the blind prophet reveals the guilt of Theban King Oedipus in a meeting with his sovereign. But he does so only after a reluctant dragging of his feet over sharing what he knows. He unwillingly shares this information in the face of bullying, insults, and threats by his sovereign. He ends up fingering Oedipus as the killer of Theban King Laius and as the perpetrator of an indecent family life. It's quite a burden that Teiresias carries in knowing that the highly respected Oedipus is really a father killer, a king killer, and a mother wedder and bedder.
