How the Exile Installed Yahweh into Ahura Mazda’s Seat — and What the Attributes Actually Reveal eFireTemple The Framework Was Borrowed. The God Was Not Changed. The previous articles in this series have established a consistent pattern. The Western magical and religious tradition borrowed its divine hierarchy from Zoroastrianism. The Amesha Spentas became the archangels. The ethical operator-worthiness requirement is Asha in Solomonic dress. Agrippa named Zoroaster as the founder. The infrastructure of the Western divine order is, structurally, Persian. This article makes the argument those earlier pieces were building toward. The Babylonian exile did not merely import Zoroastrian concepts into Judaism.
