Yeah right. Kinda hard for her womb to be "titled" when she no longer had a womb. The truth is by this time the sister wasn't having any "female problems".

No, as i hope has been demonstrated. Paul plainly wrote that prophecy and tongues would cease; to apparently much confusion as to the timing. It only remains for a student to determine when.

New Covenant Ministry

7Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory,k so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face — a fading glory — 8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory. 10In fact, what had been glorious is not glorious now by comparison because of the glory that surpasses it. 11For if what was fading awayl was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

Is it feasible that God may use a prophet to instruct someone to marry someone specifically?

You mean the post just before mine? Not relevant. Not helpful. Unless it's your strange way of saying that the Holy Spirit no longer gives messages to be given to someone, giving specific commands for them to obey. It doesn't say that nor imply it, but what else can we expect?

And there is New Testament precedent for the Spirit interfering with human activities.

Sigh. Never mind. Back on ignore. For my mental health.
