A Revelation
December 28, 2009
Having worked with the topic for some months, I had built the argument for giving greater weight to Zoroastrianism as a background contributor to Hebrew, Christian and Muslim Scriptures, based largely on new evidence from the Quran, and also on the reasonable presumption of a warm mutuality between Jewish and Zoroastrian priests in Babylon. But I was frustrated at the apparent lack of hard evidence of this from the Torah itself. On the night of November 21, 2009 I went to bed with this concern on my mind and in my prayers, and a “revelation” was given to me in the middle of that night. This might seem like a strange occurrence for a moderate mainstream Protestant, but it is not beyond imagining that God revealed to me that some form of the name of Zoroaster is indeed found in the Hebrew Scriptures.
