I probably have no more an inkling of what this prophecy means than anyone else here, but I'll give it a go:
"One day the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were."
Magic was commonplace in the days before the Chantry. Both the Tevinters and elves used it freely - in fact, I strongly suspect that the elves' alleged "immortality" was actually the result of blood magic - which I assume will also "come back" with the rest of the magic.
It could also foreshadow the destruction of the Chantry, who would likely declare one Exalted March after the other if magic use became widespread once again - and they would probably fail spectacularly to contain all of the apostates and maleficars, and be eliminated in the process.
"The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide."
I recall reading codex entries that mention Fen'Harel betraying and sealing both the elven gods and the "Forgotten Ones" (who I suspect are the Old Gods) away in the "heavens" and the "abyss", respectively. Perhaps the day is coming when the seals are finally broken, and all of the gods are freed again?
"When he rises, everyone will see."
I don't know. It could be "the Maker" (whoever that is - it's not likely to be some benevolent father-figure). I suspect that "the Maker" is actually Fen'Harel, since it was supposed to be Fen'Harel who imprisoned all of the Forgotten Ones/Old Gods in the "abyss" - and Fen'Harel is nothing if not a trickster, so the notion that he's deceived the entirety of Thedas into believing he's "the Maker" would not be too much of a stretch.
It could also be Dumat, who probably isn't really dead. There is debate as to whether the first Archdemon was truly Dumat or not, and Legacy also hints that Dumat still lives.
Of course, going by everything I just said, the elven gods and the Forgotten Ones being released would mean total war, as both will be out for Fen'Harel's blood after imprisoning them both for eons - and if the Chantry is Fen'Harel's baby, then its total destruction makes that much more sense.
Or I could just be completely full of **** - that explanation is just as good as any, I suppose.
