"In religion, a prophet is an individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being and is said to speak on that entity´s behalf, serving as an intermediary with humanity by delivering messages or teachings from the supernatural source to other people. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy.
Claims of prophethood have existed in many cultures throughout history, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, in ancient Greek religion, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, and many others." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.01.2021)
