Thank you for the question of the status of Anna, “When you read the book of Luke 2:1-32, was Anna the prophetess able to conceive? If yes, show with reference.”
Since Anna was married before her husband died, it is assumed that she was able to conceive. One of the reasons why a person would marry is to have a godly legacy as God promised that he would bless them if the Israelites were faithful to him.
Deuteronomy 28 says this, “If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks” (NIV).
The assumption by the question challenges the fertility of Anna. It may not be Anna’s fertility but her husband’s impotency. As one reads the life of Ruth the Moabite, Ruth was able to conceive through Boaz, but not by her husband. Thus to assume the problem lies with Anna may be false. The text doesn’t say who or what was the cause.
The point of the passage is not Anna’s fertility or infertility. The point of the passage is her faithfulness and longing for God to fulfill his promise to send the Messiah to Israel. The message of John the Baptist increased her fervency and prayer to God.
SUMMARY: The problem of Anna’s inability to conceived a child may lie with her husband’s impotency, not necessarily her infertility.
