Since I know where you're going w/ this, let me address it. Prophesying is not expositing/teaching from the Scriptures, nor taking authority over a man in violation of the headship instituted at Eden. It's "to foretell" or the supernatural revealing of the hidden. "He reveals His secrets to the PROPHETS."
When they said to Christ, "PROPHESY, who smote thee." Did they expect Him to preach a Scriptural exposition to them? Of course not. This is the identical word as employed in
I Cor. 11 for women to prophesy. It is NOT a sermon from the Scriptures to a church of believers.
