Because Anna was not a false prophetess

Since we’re in the Christmas season, here’s something for you from Luke 2:

And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the deliverance of Jerusalem.

Why not “redemption”?  Because the word has been spoiled by religion.  And because Moses was not the redeemer of Israel in the sense that we think of.
