After Simeon’s prophecy, we encounter the Bible’s fourth woman specifically named as a “prophetess.” (The others named are Miriam, Deborah and Huldah. There is also the wife of Isaiah.)
And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eightyfour. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of [Jesus] to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem (Luke 2:36-38).
Elizabeth is “filled with the Holy Spirit” to give a special message, as is her husband (Luke 1:41, 67). But Anna’s tenure as a “prophetess” seems well-known. Her impact is widely felt as she speaks to “all” who expect the Messiah.
