Two of Simon's prophecies are fulfilled. The first is, as ms-mcgregor points out, is that "the beast is us", but he also makes a second.
When the boys are on the other side of the island, Simon tells Ralph 'I just think you'll get back all right'. This, of course comes true at the end of the novel, meaning that Simon was right about Ralph.
It shows possibly even more foresight that Ralph uses the pronoun 'You', rather than 'We'. suggesting that he possibly knows he will no get home.
