“And there was one Anna, a prophetess…” (Luke 2:36a).
According to biblical sources, “the role of prophet or prophetess was to proclaim God’s word in teaching, reproving, correcting and training in righteousness.” In all the four gospels, Anna was the only prophetess mentioned. Anna definitely had the credentials, but even if she hadn’t been given this honor, she faithfully served God. She probably encountered people who didn’t receive her prophecies, but, it didn’t prevent her from speaking the truths of God.
