Sorry Aquila but you apparently don't understand how the bible is written. It is full of figures of speech, anthropomorphisms and personification devices
Read Proverbs and tell me if it's all literally talking about these female persons called Wisdom and Prudence
Go learn about that stuff and when you return I will give you a lesson on what Private interpretation means
Oh that reminds me, you also are not supposed to take a verse out of context to misuse it for your own personal agenda as you just did
2Pe 1:20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

None of the things you've listed have a distinct "self", so I don't believe they compare.
I have not spoken a prophecy. But if I do, it will be as the Spirit bids me, as it did the with the oracles of God.
