In the Zoroastrian religion, saoshyant refers to one who will "make existence brilliant".

"Since He is (the One) to be chosen by the world therefore the judgment emanating from truth itself (to be passed) on the deeds of good thought of the world, as well as the power, is committed to Mazda Ahura whom (people) assign as a shepherd to the poor." --Yasna 27:13, the Ahuna Vairya prayer

Noting this similiarity of this figure to that of the Jewish messiah and the Christian Jesus Christ, along with the fact that it is from the same geographic area and predated both by a century or more, many speculate that the very idea of a "christ-figure" has its origins in this belief. This is, as of yet, unsubstantiated by concrete evidence.
