Prophet
Definition
"The Hebrew Prophet was not merely, as the word commonly implies, a man enlightened by God to foretell events; he was the interpreter and supernaturally enlightened herald sent by Yahweh to communicate His will and designs to Israel. His mission consisted in preaching as well as in foretelling. He had to maintain and develop the knowledge of the Old Law among the Chosen People, lead them back when they strayed, and gradually prepare the way for the new kingdom of God, which the messias was to establish on earth. Prophecy, in general, signifies the supernatural message of the Prophet, and more especially, from custom, the predictive element of the prophetic message."

Language
Greek
"Qurban" translated into Greek is "Prosphora"
"Qurban" is pronounced with the "Q" is silent.
Definition
The word "prosphora/prosphoron" means "offering".
Description
"Qurban" is a flat, round bread about 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Qurban can be leavened or unleavened.
History
Qurban is probably the bread that Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ lived ate daily.
At a Passover meal during the time of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ, an unleavened version of this bread was used. The Last Supper of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ is understood as a Passover meal. If the Last Supper was a Passover meal, an unleavened version of Qurban was used.
Qurban is still the basic traditional bread in the area where Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ lived.
Usage
Leavened Qurban is consecrated during the Divine Liturgy and is used for Holy Eucharist. Also, leavened Qurban is for the Antidoron.

Thesaurus - Arabic Influenced Religious Terminology on Malta
"We speak an arabic dialect and are catholics. Although our dialect is
highly italianised we use christian arabic terminology. The question is
from where have this terminology come from. Malta was under the arabs in
the early middle age and there was a presence of islam. Our dialect have
elements of both west and eastern arabic. I suspect that there was an
immigration of melkites in malta, this is the reason why I am sending this
email. Attached please find a list of our religious terminology."...
"I would like to ask you a question, how similar is our terminology to
yours."...
"Thanks again and Alla dejjem izomm idejh fuqok u fuq il-Kinsja Mqaddsa."

dedicated to my cousins: Bucky (Richard C. Liles), Shirley (Shirley Jean Liles Buck), and Donna (Donna Bertha Liles Campbell). Bucky fell asleep in
the Lord on Dec. 12, 2000, Shirley fell asleep in the Lord on Nov. 8, 2001, and Donna fell asleep in the Lord on March 9, 2020.
O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants
Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no
grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for
there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and
the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your
all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
