I nearly agreed with you, except the function of the NT Prophet is not to the nation, but toward the Church. If you had said that if there was a build up of witchcraft in the Church (which is actually happening), instead of the country, and if there are issues with the Church instead of governments, I would heartily agree with you.Depends on what area He would need a prophet to concentrate on.
Prophets are very individualistic, very independent, as well as also very dedicated and loyal to GOD. So if Jesus foresees a problem with a huge build up of witchcraft in a country, He can raise a prophet up in that area to combat it. If there are issues with governments, He can use a prophet to start removing the offending individuals.
Of course prophets operate in the revelation gifts like Agabus, Jeremiah, and others, but they can also operate in the greater gifts of power like Elijah.
It just depends on what GOD needs for a given situation.
Because the ministry of the Prophet is confrontational and abrasive, he can be accused of beating up the body of Christ in the same way that a surgeon removing a cancerous tumour could damage healthy tissue in the process, even having to remove a part of the body to save its life.
A Prophet can function in all nine of the spiritual gifts, including prophecy, but not limited to predictive prophecy as are the Kansas City prophets and those like them.
