Zoroastrian's Prophecies

In "Dasàstìr-Asmànì' the "Book" of Heavenly Commandments" of the Zoroastrian Faith, the exact time is indicated in this way: 

"When the people of Iran will become wicked and do evils ... at that time a Man shall rise up from the Arabs, through whose disciples they will lose the crown, the throne, the land, and their religion, and be destroyed ...

By the lapse of one thousand years, after the establishment of the Arabic Religion, His followers will have already spoiled their Faith so much by splitting up themselves into sects that, were it to be presented to its Founder, He would not recognize the same.

Thus shalt thou see the Iranians that they shall not listen to any Wise Man.  Were some one to say the Truth, they shall come out with weapons to fight with Him.   The worst among the evil deeds of Iranians is that they have killed the One Who, though from amongst themselves, was the Sovereign Lord of all the Angelic Attributes."

The above prophecy foretells the coming of Islam in Iran, and then, when the establishment of Islam will be completed, that is to say that, from the year of the ascension of the 11th Imàm Hasan 'Askarì in 260 A.H. one thousand years more will pass, and, exactly in the year 1260 A.H. i.e. 1844 A.D. a New Era will start.

Also the Martyrdom of the Bàb, "the Sovereign Lord of all the Angelic Attributes" is already foretold in this prophecy.

He shall be the victorious Benefactor (Saoshyant) by name and World-renovator [Astavat-ereta] by name. He is Benefactor because he will benefit the entire physical world; he is World- renovator because he will establish the physical living existence indestructible. He will oppose the evil of the progeny of the biped and withstand the enmity produced by the faithful." --- Zoroastrianism- Avesta, Farvardin Yast 13.129

"When a thousand two hundred and some years have passed from the inception of the religion of the Arabian ( Muhammad ) and the overthrow of the kingdom of Iran and the degradation of the followers of My religion, a descendant of the Iranian kings ( Baha'u'llah ) will be raised up as a Prophet." --- ZOROSTER- Dinkird

         Let's begin examining this prophecy by looking at the first section: "When a thousand two hundred and some years have passed from the inception of the religion of the Arabian ( Muhammad )...

" The religion of Islam was established by the Arabian Prophet Muhammad in the early part of the sixth century AD. Although Muhammad began to teach at least ten years earlier, the Islamic calendar begins in the year 622 AD... the year of the Hegira. The Hegira was the journey that Muhammad was forced to make from Mecca to Medina to escape his enemies.

"A thousand two hundred and some years" "from the inception of the religion of the Arabian ( Muhammad ) " would be sometime in the 1800s. This gives us the general time frame. The Zoroastrian Messiah will appear sometime in the 1800s.

In this prophecy, Zoroster next refers to: "the overthrow of the kingdom of Iran and the degradation of the followers of My religion..." The thousand year old "kingdom of Iran" was indeed "overthrown" by the followers of the "religion of the Arabian ( Muhammad )" in the sixth century AD.

The followers of Zoroaster's religion indeed were "degraded" by Muslims who frequently treated them as second class citizens and who imposed special taxes upon them as "non-Muslims".

This brings us to the final, and most exciting part, of this prophecy: "A descendant of the Iranian kings will be raised up as a Prophet." There is only one person that this prophecy could possibly refer to. Only one person who is "a descendant of the Iranian kings" was "raised up as a Prophet" in the mid 1800s. Baha'u'llah!

Baha'u'llah explicitly claimed to be the One whose coming was foretold in the Zoroastrian prophecies. "To the priestly caste, holding sacerdotal supremacy over the followers of the Faith of Zoroster, that same Voice, identifying itself with the voice of the promised Shah-Bahram, has declared:

"Whatsoever hath been announced in the Books," Baha'u'llah, replying to a Zoroastrian who had inquired regarding the promised Shah-Bahram, has written, "hath been revealed and made clear. From every direction the signs have been manifested. The Omnipotent One is calling, in this Day, and announcing the appearance of the Supreme Heaven. "This is not the day," He, in another Tablet declares, "whereon the high priests can command and exercise their authority. In your Book it is stated that the high priests will, on that Day, lead men far astray, and will prevent them from drawing nigh unto Him. He indeed is a high priest who hath seen the light and hastened unto the way leading to the Beloved." "The time fore-ordained unto the people and kindreds of the earth is now come. The promises of God as recorded in the holy Scriptures, have all been fulfilled..." The Promised One whose coming was explicitly foretold in the Zoroastrian prophecies has come. His name is Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah offers you this invitation: "Verily I say, this is the day in which mankind can behold the Face and hear the Voice of the Promised One. The call of God hath been raised, and the light of His countenance hath been lifted up upon men.

It behooveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His Glory."

Now is more clear why about half the Zoroastrians living in Iran chose to be Baha'i.
