The Religion That Invented Heaven, Hell & the Devil

What if everything you believe about heaven, hell, and the devil didn't start where you think? Before the Bible, before the Quran, before the Torah as we know it — a prophet stood on the windswept plains of ancient Iran and heard a voice in the fire. His name was Zarathustra. You may know him as Zoroaster.
Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic faith on Earth, and the most influential religion almost no one can name. In this episode of First Beliefs, we go back over three thousand years to explore:
🔥 The first-ever concept of a single God of pure light and goodness
😈 How the devil, as a being who chose evil, was born in ancient Persia
👑 The Persian king the Hebrew prophet Isaiah called Messiah
📖 Why two hundred years under Persian rule may have reshaped the entire Bible
🕯️ The sacred fires that have burned continuously for over a thousand years
As a Persian woman, this story isn't just history to me — it's inheritance. I believe it will change how you see your own faith, whatever that faith is.
This is First Beliefs. We go to the roots.
