#1 Another component of a prophet's job, perhaps more important, was to explain what God was doing _right now_ and call people to repent and get back on track. Predicting the future accurately was one of the tests of a genuine prophet, as was prophesying "in the name of the Lord." Showing credentials, so to speak. I'm not persuaded that prophesying in the name of Mary meets the Old Testament criteria . . .

FWIW, I get pretty ticked at the folks who pronounce AIDS or 911 to be the judgement of God on America for its sins. Maybe, maybe not, but who appointed them the prophetic voice of God? Credentials, please.
