Editing Zoroastrian Theocracy (section)

=== Eschatology ===
Zoroastrianism teaches about the world's renovation (Frashokereti) and individual judgment, including the resurrection of the dead. At death, individuals face the Chinvat Bridge for spiritual judgment, determined by their choices between good and evil during life. The soul is judged by Yazatas, and the verdict leads to a pleasant or unpleasant crossing of the bridge.

The House of Lies is a temporary and reformative place where punishments match crimes, and souls don't face eternal damnation. Hell is filled with unpleasant conditions, and the punishment is proportional.

In Zoroastrian eschatology, a 3,000-year struggle between good and evil ends with evil's final assault. During this, the world experiences darkness, loss of reverence, and winter. Azi Dahaka, a fearsome miscreant, terrorizes the world. The Saoshyant, a final savior, is born to a virgin impregnated by Zoroaster's seed. The Saoshyant raises the dead for judgment, purging the wicked in hell. A river of molten metal purifies souls, and good triumphs over evil. The Saoshyant and Ahura Mazda offer a final sacrifice, granting immortality to all. The world undergoes transformation, emphasizing spiritual and physical judgments, reflecting a universalist perspective on salvation in Zoroastrianism.
