Your understanding of history on such and your degree of being currently informed seems to me to be exceedingly lacking.
There have been prophets--true prophetic voices of the Living Almighty God thoughout history since Christ.
There is certainly a growth in such real and counterfeit today. The Bible predicted such.
The Old Testament book of Joel and Paul's writings are fairly clear.
In fact, Paul noted that he would have all believers seek to be able to prophecy. Some denominations conveniently chose to ignore those Scriptures.
Prophecy giftings can be messy--especially if the people don't spend 40 years on the back side of the desert getting purified before mouthing off, so to speak.
Making mistakes and getting refined by fire on the job can be hard on all concerned.
And, I believe God has His own timing for insuring that the authentic prophetic voices begin to speak flawlessly. But I expect to see that day. And it may be closer than I think.
There were also a couple of cases in the Old Testament when tried and true prophets made a mistake. I forget the specifics and haven't taken the time to look it up. I can't remember suitable key words.
Anyway--watch and learn. All such is probably set to be kicked into a higher gear. Perhaps as early as the next 30 days. And certainly in the relatively near future.
