Did JUDAISM take in elements of ZOROASTRIANISM ?

Did ZOROASTRIANISM (the religion of Persian during Cyrus) take in elements of JUDAISM ?

Supposedly, and I don't know how accurate this theory is, Judaism was influenced by Zoroastrianism during the Exile. Judaism is said to have picked up elements of Zoroastrian AngelicoGUnd demonology, as well a few other doctrinal elements (like the resurrection of the dead).

The Babylonian captivity *did* change the Hebrew alphabet (the standard alef-bet is called, after all, the "Assyrian" alphabet). So it certainly is *possible* that there was an influence from Zoroastrianism.

Its more than possible, when the Jews were in states of disobedience to God they fell many times, however with the coming of Christ and Christianity taking over, the first century church rid itself of all these.

It is most likely it happened the other way around. Judaism is a millennium older than Zoriastianism- the earliest Zoroastian writings only being from around 500 BCE though from the language used etc it appears they may have originated around 800 BCE.

By that stage you already had the book of Iyov written (Job) which shows that the role of HaSatan and angels was already developed in Judaism and not as a result of the Babylonian captivity. However, the idea that Zoroastianism was influenced by Judaism to a certain extent is probably correct- though the two religions are very different and the influence would have been very small.
