Your answer was: prediction and foreshadowing
You are correct!!
Answer: The depicted images of Isiah, Delphic Sybil, Jeremiah, and Joel paintings on these stamps are based upon paintings done by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Each person depicted has a message of prediction and foreshadowing they were trying to communicate to the people of their time, especially related to the coming of Christ. Researching this, I found that the Vatican Notes description on these stamps also used predictive and foreshadowing in describing all of the subjects of these stamps.
