We tend toward the ethereal or the superstitious which makes us completely vulnerable to those who exploit us. The Gospel will always have enemies and detractors... but it is a good deal... the greatest bargain in fact... How is it then that to the world we appear like hypocrites always beating ourselves and one another with our misunderstanding of portions of scripture or out and out traditions of men... Most skeptics would never dream of asking "Where do I sign up?" So... What in your view, studies, tradition, etc. is prophecy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuest (Expanded Translation): But he who imparts divine revelations to men is speaking with the result of upbuilding the Christian life, and exhortation, and consolation. The one who utters words in a tongue builds himself up in his Christian life. But he who imparts divine revelations to others builds up the local assembly.

Prophecy / profess / prophet / professor you get the gist. All the mystique and glamour we have attached to the simple act and actor result from our superstitions. It is not about the professor of God's profession or even the profession itself but the God who professes through his professors to his professees.
