Also Revelation contains a clear statement on prophecy and the testimony of Jesus, which clearly sets it apart from a Prophet.

Perhaps Amulek was just a prophet not the Prophet.

But throughout the scriptures, there are examples of people having the spiritual gift of prophecy, regardless of their position or calling. And those who are “prophesying” are not necessarily making predictions of the future, but simply speaking whatever the Lord wants people to hear: A prophet is often a forth-teller more than a foreteller.

In this sense, anyone called to speak to others by the power of the Spirit is a prophet. I’m pretty sure Amulek fits the bill.
