At eFireTemple.com, our digital sanctuary dedicated to the revival of Zoroastrian wisdom, we have long explored the "Stolen Light" series—chronicling how Ahura Mazda's eternal flame was borrowed, reshaped, and veiled in other traditions. From the dual-flame motif in the Old Testament to the Persian infusion of paradise into Jewish eschatology, the evidence is mounting: Zoroastrian cosmology profoundly shaped Abrahamic faiths. Now, in this next installment, we delve into the undeniable: Jesus of Nazareth was, in essence, a Zoroastrian seeker, his teachings and identity rooted in Ahura Mazda's dual light, with the Wise Lord as his true Father. The texts—Old Testament echoes, New Testament revelations, and historical parallels—prove this clearly.
