Zoroastrian faith teaches that at the end of time, a savior-figure (a Saoshyant) will bring about a final renovation of the world (frashokereti), in which the dead will be revived.
This certainly opens the door for Christianity in their communities all the more......perhaps not the Muslims but they likely would be open to listening to the Gospel message once again.
Thank you for posting this.
I overlooked this part earlier, a bit deliberately :/ -- mostly because the word "frasho-kereti" can mean "the consequence or realization of our deeds" -- it's the outcome of our deeds, if not in this life, then elsewhere in a more "spiritual realm"..
I don't want to get into a religious debate, since this thread is not meant for that purpose, and also I'm not a theologian :) But, to linguistically clarify & put in context..
The word "Saoshyant" (mentioned in the Zoroaster’s hymns i.e. the Gathas) literally means “one who will bring benefit” – a benefactor or can be a saviour too; but does not exactly bear the same meaning as the one accorded to it in the Abrahamic religions.
The Gathic message clearly defines, that those enlightened man and women, who extol the virtues of righteousness, using their good mind, emerge as the benefactors among mankind. It is to them, that Ahura Mazda is a companion and a friend (Yasna 45.11).
There can be many Saoshyants (plural) in many different fields.”
A reminder that in Z faith, The Gathas (or Gathic part of the Avesta) supersedes any other part of the Avesta. Because the Gathas are known to be original words & intent of Zoroaster. The Avesta is comprised of different sub-sections (books) - "Gathic-Avesta" is a major & very original component of the Avesta -- they are in Old Persian language.
