Six thousand years before Jesus was born Zoroaster lived.
Spokesman for the Parsi God Ahura-Mazda, Zoroaster taught the Parsi priest and people that there is both good and evil in the world, and that it is the responsibility of every person to choose good for the sake of the world.
Zoroaster said that the warfare between right and wrong in our hearts is also the world struggle, and it is the struggle in the unseen world as well. Hosts of demons are continually contending against angelic hosts.
The Parsi believed that when they became 15, they take one of the angels for protection, one of the wise as a personal sage, and one of the high priests as a personal high priest. This will help the person follow the Parsi law, which says, “If you follow that which is good, good is your reward; if you follow evil, you will be rewarded with evil.
“So you must continually pray for wisdom and seek, by every possible means, to determine what is evil and what is good.”
We all must choose that which is good.
It is often said the Magi attending the birth of Jesus were Parsi, wise men who were followers of Zoroaster and teachers who illuminated the path for Jesus.
