[Alexandr Korol]

The Avestan Farvardin Yasht explains: “He is called Saoshyant because he is destined to resurrect the entire material world.” If, in the sacred Zoroastrian history, Gayomart served as the forerunner and prototype of its central figure, Zarathustra, then Saoshyant is the successor and fulfiller of the prophet’s mission. According to the Pahlavi composition Datastan-i-Denik, “Three are the most excellent of those who dwell at the beginning, the middle, and the end of creation.”

The followers of Zoroaster believed that the Saoshyant would be born from the seed of the prophet, miraculously preserved in the depths of a lake (identified as Lake Kansaoia, that is, Lake Hamun in southeastern Iran). When the end times approach, a maiden will bathe in the lake and conceive from the prophet. During the Achaemenid era, the belief in the world’s savior — Saoshyant — evolved into the expectation of three saviors, each to be born of a virgin from the prophet’s seed. This refinement appears connected to a newly developed scheme of world history, according to which “limited time” (that is, the three periods — Creation, Mixture, and Separation) was viewed as a great “world year” divided into segments of one thousand years each.
The first savior, named Ukhshyat-Ereta (“He Who Makes Righteousness Grow”), will renew the teachings of Zarathustra. Then history will repeat, and his brother named Ukhshyat-Nemah (“He Who Makes Reverence Grow”) will appear in the year 5000. Finally, at the end of the last millennium, the greatest of the Saoshyants will appear — Astvat-Ereta himself, who will proclaim the Frashokereti.
Astvat-Ereta (literally “He Who Embodies Truth”) is the name of the final of the three coming saviors, whose appearance is foretold at the end of the “Hymn to Khvarnah.” It is known that in the future battle between the forces of truth and falsehood, the saoshyant Astvat-Ereta will wield the weapon of Thraetaona, with which he slew the Serpent.”

Now I would like to touch a bit on Christianity, that is, to draw an analogy, since we’ve already touched on and familiarized ourselves with everything in the Eastern tradition. You see, it’s all about the same thing, I didn’t even add any of my own comments to those Wikipedia articles, because, basically, everything is clear. But let’s now touch a bit on Christianity just to draw an analogy with the East.
