times shall come in the last
0:53
days and we are in the last
2:04
hello brothers and sisters today we are
2:08
going to be talking about the influence
2:13
Zoroastrianism on Jewish Islamic and
2:20
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's
2:23
oldest religions with its roots dating
2:27
back to ancient Persia around 4,000
2:31
years ago it was founded by the prophet
2:36
zoroaster one of the major changes in
2:40
Zoroastrianism occurred when the Persian
2:43
Empire became the dominant power in the
2:46
region the religion became the official
2:49
religion of the Empire and underwent a
2:52
period of growth and expansion
2:56
Zoroastrianism had a significant
2:58
influence on many other religions
3:01
including Judaism socalled
3:04
Christianity and Islam the concept of
3:09
single God the belief in heaven and hell
3:12
and the idea of final judgment were all
3:19
Zoroastrianism that was in the beginning
3:21
despite its influence
3:24
Zoroastrianism has seen a definite
3:27
decline in the re recent century today
3:31
and there are only about 100,000
3:35
worldwide however its impact on world
3:38
religions and unique beliefs continue to
3:42
Fascinate both Scholars and its
3:48
Zoroastrianism has Rich history that
3:52
spans thousands of years from its
3:55
Beginnings in ancient Persia to its
3:58
influence on other religion it has left
4:01
an undeniable mark on human history
4:04
while its followers may be few in number
4:07
today the Mark it's left definitely
4:11
lives on part one of today's study is
4:14
going to be on the influence that
4:18
Zoroastrianism had on Jewish mysticism
4:21
Zoroastrianism was an ancient religion
4:24
as we said and it originated in Persia
4:27
it heavily influenced mystical Judaism
4:30
during the Babylonian exile one of the
4:34
zoroastrian beliefs is a belief in Good
4:37
and Evil which can be seen in Jewish
4:40
mysticism through the concept of yeter
4:44
har yeter hatab another important aspect
4:49
in Zoroastrianism was the belief in a
4:52
single Supreme deity Aura Mazda who was
4:56
believed to be the source of all
4:59
goodness and light this idea influenced
5:03
Jewish mysticism through the concept of
5:07
Ein that you've heard me talk about so
5:10
many times inof is the infinite and
5:14
unknowable Divine Essence that is at the
5:17
core of all existence in mystical
5:22
Zoroastrianism also had a strong
5:25
emphasis on ethical behavior and
5:29
personal responsibility which can be
5:33
seen in Jewish mysticism through the
5:36
concept of the tun Olam as it is called
5:41
or repairing the world through acts of
5:44
kindness or justice but perhaps the most
5:49
significant influence that
5:52
Zoroastrianism had on Jewish mysticism
5:56
was through its belief in angels and
6:01
Zoroastrianism there were powerful
6:04
Spiritual Beings known as yazatas who
6:11
intermediaries between humanity and the
6:15
Divine this heavily influenced Jewish
6:19
mysticism through the concept of angels
6:23
which play a crucial role in cabalistic
6:26
thought part two of today's study
6:29
because this is just a brief overview of
6:32
what Saturday's episode of The Remnant
6:35
report is going to be
6:38
Zoroastrianism influence on Islamic
6:42
mysticism now Islamic mysticism Muhammad
6:46
the ritual of the cabba are some
6:50
profound aspects in Islam that were
6:56
Zoroastrianism today we are going to
6:58
talk about the influence Zoroastrianism
7:01
played on Islam particularly Sufi
7:05
mysticism first off it's important to
7:10
Zoroastrianism was a major religion in
7:13
Persia before the rise of Islam so there
7:17
were naturally some influences that
7:20
carried over one of the key influences
7:23
was that of monotheism but there are a
7:28
lot more more reasons why monotheism
7:32
entered into Islam and we will cover
7:35
that in Saturday's episode now
7:38
Zoroastrianism was one of the first
7:41
religions after the original religion
7:45
and worship of the one true God of
7:48
Abraham Isaac and Jacob to embrace the
7:51
concept of one God and this idea was one
8:00
was adopted by Islam another influence
8:03
adopted by Islam was that of the concept
8:07
of Angels and Demons just as we saw in
8:13
Zoroastrianism believed in good and evil
8:16
spirits that were constantly battling
8:19
for control of the world and this idea
8:23
was also incorporated into Islamic
8:27
theology now as or whether there was any
8:31
influence on Muhammad specifically some
8:35
believe it's hard to say I specifically
8:40
say absolutely there was when Muhammad
8:45
had his so-called Visions the entire
8:48
Arab world was polytheistic and by this
8:53
time so was Zoroastrianism and we're
8:56
going to get into all of that on
8:59
Saturday's episode but for today's brief
9:03
analysis I just want to state that
9:06
Muhammad may have been exposed to zor or
9:09
asianism ideas during his travels as a
9:12
merchant but there's no definite
9:16
concrete evidence to say one way or
9:19
another however there is one aspect of
9:23
Islamic practice that
9:26
absolutely was influenced by Zoro
9:29
asianism and that is the practice of
9:32
walking around the cabba in Mecca you
9:37
Zoroastrianism it was common to walk
9:39
around a fire as a form of worship and
9:43
some Scholars including myself believe
9:47
that this practice may have been adapted
9:52
by early Muslims as a way to honor Allah
9:57
they you're going to see in Saturday's
10:00
episode there are even Muslim Scholars
10:04
modern Muslim Scholars as well as
10:08
ancient Muslim writers who say that
10:11
walking around the cube in Mecca was a
10:16
part of the Canaanite religion and it
10:20
was something that existed many many
10:24
many years before Muhammad's and I'm
10:28
adding this part in socalled vision from
10:33
the angel Gabriel I'm not doubting that
10:36
Muhammad had a vision I am simply
10:39
doubting who it was from now that being
10:42
said you're going to see in the episode
10:46
Saturday proof of the origin of the
10:50
cabba and how it is linked to both and
11:00
mysticism now I do want to say lastly
11:04
that Sufi mysticism is a branch of Islam
11:08
now not lastly I I said that a little
11:10
wrong I want to say lastly when it comes
11:13
to Islam that Sufism is a branch of
11:16
Islam that emphasizes on spiritual
11:20
experience and inner knowledge over
11:24
strict adherence to the religious
11:27
doctrine of Islam and while Sufism
11:32
developed independently from
11:35
Zoroastrianism there are some definite
11:38
similarities between the two for example
11:42
both religions emphasize the importance
11:45
of so-called spiritual Purity but the
11:48
truth is that spiritual Purity only
11:51
comes through following Jesus Christ and
11:55
that is not my opinion that is something
12:00
that can be proved beyond a shadow of a
12:04
doubt using the scientific method no
12:06
less but also the emphasis on
12:10
self-discipline and that is a brief
12:14
overview of the influence that
12:17
Zoroastrianism has played over Islam and
12:20
Sufi mysticism over the years now part
12:24
three and the final aspect of today's
12:29
short overview of Saturday's episode on
12:37
Zoroastrianism on mysticism in general
12:41
is going to be on the zoroastrian
12:44
origins of the quote unquote Christian
12:49
mysticism movements such as gnosticism
12:53
and also the New Age movement now
12:57
Zoroastrianism although and an ancient
13:00
Persian religion played a significant
13:04
role in shaping the beliefs beliefs of
13:08
the Gnostic sects such as those that
13:12
were created and eventually evolved in
13:16
the early Christian era the ones that
13:19
were written about in the actual books
13:24
of the New Testament as well as were
13:27
written about and written against in the
13:32
anti nyine fathers I I looked over to my
13:35
right because I happen to have a
13:37
dictionary of early Christian beliefs
13:40
that is just full of writings from the
13:45
anti nyine fathers against gnosticism
13:49
and they actually talk about the pagan
13:53
origins of gnosticism but as I was
13:58
Zoroastrianism although it was an
14:00
ancient Persian religion it played a
14:03
significant role in forming the beliefs
14:08
of the groups of gnostics in the early
14:11
Christian era now the same dualistic
14:15
nature of the luciferian religion was
14:20
originated in the mystery religions like
14:23
that of Zoroastrianism
14:26
Zoroastrianism emphasized the struggle
14:30
between good and evil and it did this
14:34
along with the mystical merkaba
14:38
mysticism in Judaism and both of these
14:43
Zoroastrianism and as we've already
14:47
heavily influenced Jewish mysticism well
14:53
Zoroastrianism and Jewish mysticism
14:56
heavily influence gnosticism now the
15:00
Gnostic belief in a Divine spark that is
15:04
trapped in the material world which is
15:08
controlled by evil forces comes directly
15:14
Zoroastrianism and meraba mysticism
15:18
which is known today as cabala now one
15:21
of the most notable of these groups of
15:25
gnostics influenced by
15:27
Zoroastrianism was was the manans
15:31
founded by the so-called Prophet Manny
15:36
in the third Century CE or a and it was
15:41
Manny's teachings that combined elements
15:46
Christianity Buddhism and
15:50
Zoroastrianism to create a complex com
15:56
emphasized the struggle between light
16:00
and darkness and this is the sect of
16:05
gnosticism that Austine became a part of
16:10
and it was followers of Austine like
16:14
Martin Luther and John Calvin who first
16:18
introduced mysticism into Protestant
16:22
Christian thought now I used the two
16:26
names of Martin Luther and John Calvin
16:30
simply because they are the two names
16:34
that people will recognize the most when
16:38
it comes to the Protestant Reformation
16:50
mysticism the Gnostic belief system had
16:54
firmly taken root within the Roman
16:57
Catholic Church centuries before the
16:59
Protestant Reformation so this is not
17:02
something that can by any means be laid
17:06
at the feet of Augustine or Luther or
17:10
Calvin because as we've seen you know
17:14
Augustine got it from the manans and the
17:17
manans were one of many of the groups of
17:21
gnostics in the early centuries after
17:26
Zoroastrianism also influenced Ed the
17:30
development of the modern form of new
17:36
particularly through the work of women
17:40
like Helena blavatsky and her
17:44
theosophical Society lat's writings Drew
17:49
heavily on Eastern religions including
17:54
Zoroastrianism to create a synchronistic
17:58
spiritual system that emphasized on
18:02
dualism it literally used the dualism of
18:08
Zoroastrianism to create the luciferian
18:14
religion that we see today that is used
18:18
and followed and worshiped by so many of
18:22
the elite of the leaders of the world
18:29
for today's short overview on
18:34
Zoroastrianism I just want to say that
18:37
both zoroaster himself and
18:41
Zoroastrianism played a significant role
18:46
in shaping both ancient
18:48
gnosticism and modern New Age
18:51
spirituality its dualistic worldview and
18:56
emphasis on spiritual evolution ution
18:59
continue to influence misguided
19:03
spiritual Seekers who choose to reject
19:07
the only source of truth that is found
19:11
in Jesus Christ and the word of God now
19:14
brothers and sisters I truly hope you've
19:17
enjoyed this brief video and I hope with
19:22
all my heart that you will join us
