I am never 100% convinced on certain areas of prophecy as I am always reading and looking for other opinions.
Then I either discard them or take them into consideration based on well they fit or not into the prophecy.
For instance I did at one time in study believe Rome was Babylon, then I saw the talk of New York or United States being Babylon. In studies though their are some descriptions that fit these two, but then there are some that don't fit. People will always try to get things and will make them if they don't go by all the prophetic scriptures.
There is a lot in the world today that is showing the rise of the Roman empire again within the EU.
You have tons of Muslims within the European union countries, the pope has allowed Christians and Muslims to worship together/ symbolic the false prophet ram with two horns, and I just saw that in many European union countries people are yelling out in public death to the Jews. These are just a few that are falling into place.
You are absolutely correct about the underlined... but it is worthwhile to note that not all are prophesying, either. Apostle Paul encourages them to pray that they would all prophesy. So not all prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
Maybe that "prophet office" stuff is manmade division that really is about titles? Does the title really matter to God as long as the person is prophesying and therefore doing God's work? Again God knows, just some food for thought... but I'm wondering...

That is understandable as that shows you have an open mind which is a good thing to have, as when it comes to things like this you can never just take and close the door on something. Being closed minded when it comes to prophecy is never a good things so I am glad you say you need to search things out and prove them to yourself.
Daniel was shown another prophecy vision in Daniel 7 of the 4 beast, and the first one is a Lion.
Now the standard well accepted in the past was that this beast was Babylon.
I have come across a few that here recently have been changing that approach because of the full description given of this beast.
First it says it is a lion with eagles wings, and Daniel watched as the wings separated from the lion.
Now history tells us that Great Britain has the symbol lion, and American who's symbol is the eagle broke away from Britain in 1776.
Then it says it were made to stand up like a man and given a heart, and the other symbolism is for America is Uncle Sam and have you ever heard the phrase the heart of America.....

Why don't you cite a source for this from the Bible. My guess is it's from the book of Kenneth Hagin, right after the book of Opinions. 
Hagin!?!?! LOL wow...
I dont need Hagin, and never have...., even when he was alive...the WOF movement has serious deception about a lot of things....that are not even remotely Biblical...I am not a WOF follower and never have been....I am a BIble follower....
That statement is NOT teaching there are no longer any prophets. If that is what you believe then your belief is in error. The Bible itself teaches that there were prophets even after John the Baptist. The Apostle Paul even taught us what order the Prophets should be placed in the Church. if you understand that the above statement means there are no more prophets, then do you discard all the verses which teach there is prophets? do you discard the verses that one of the gifts of the Holy Ghost is the Gift of prophesy, Strange that the Holy Ghost would give out the gift of prophesy if there are no prophets to give those prophesies. You do error in not understanding that when Jesus said the Law and the prophets were until John, He was most assuredly referring to All the law and prophets concerning Himself, and His death and resurrection. There are no more prophesies concerning Jesus Christ death and resurrection after JOHN the Baptist, Because Jesus fulfilled all of them, there are no more prophesies concerning His death and resurrection. He said "It is finished"
But you do error in saying there are no more prophets because Jesus said that statement above.

Scriptures teach us how you can tell a false prophet.
1) if what they say does not come to pass
and
2) if what they say contradicts Scriptures
You test them by seeing if what they say comes to pass and by what they are saying if it contradicts the Word of God.
Anyone who professes to hear from God and teach things that are contrary to Scriptures is a false prophet. This is the True way to tell a false prophet. Many false prophets can predict the future, that is to say what they say a great percentage of the time comes to pass, This is because they have the spirit of divination. But all spirits of divination have their own agenda, you can see this agenda by the words that are spoken by the one who has said spirit, their words will be contradictory to Scriptures.

A prophet, is one who has communicated with God, or had visions from God, or had dreams from God, concerning that which is to come.
Here is a prophesy told to me by God, ONE day you will see a man on TV during a time of great tribulation upon the Earth, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanoes, Asteroid impacts, And he will say "Where is your God now?" And many will fall from their faiths, not only the Christian Faith, { because they thought Jesus would come before all that stuff happens and He did not come when they thought He should have } But all faiths in the entire world will fall away from their belief in God. Oh by the way that man on the TV is the antichrist.

An Apostle is one who has actually SEEN Jesus Christ. Has Steve Foss actually seen Jesus Christ in order to be called an Apostle? Note: i am not saying that He did not see Him, Jesus could appear to whomever Jesus wants to appear to, He is God. He has never appeared to me, but that is not saying He could not appear to another, only asking if this Steve Foss has seen Jesus Christ?
