Belief in One God.

The Devil, or an Evil Entity which opposes Almighty God.

Indeed, many of it's beliefs, because said religions changed Judaism, when the Jews came into contact with it. Things such as Angels, a division of pure good and pure evil, a good God, and a devil or evil god.
Book of revelations mimics the fate of the evil entity in Zoroastrianism. In which, he will rule the earth, when all of the good people have gone. Similar to how Satan will rule the earth, when all of the faithful are gone to heaven.

Many other cultures have influenced Judaism, despite it being older than some. This is because, the Jews were in contact, with many other cultures and religions.

Abrahamic religion predates Zoroastrianism.

The contrasts are more significant.. Judaism never really had an after life to speak of and still doesn't.

Christianity and the apocryphal period were led to believe in an absolute good God against an absolute evil God , an equal balance opposing each other.
In Judaism , Satan was promoted to an absolute evil god instead of a fallen angel where as before he was the prosecuting attorney in God's court. See Job chapters 1 -3.
Satan still has access to God and heaven according to this exchange between God and Satan.
Later, Satan is recorded as having fallen from heaven .

Monotheism (Cannot be dualistic as the good and evil spirits do not have equal power. Good is much stronger, evil is present as it fulfills the duty of finding perfection which is Good)
Battle of Good and Evil
Heaven and Hell (House of the Lie) - and let's note that Hell is NOT eternal in Zoroastrianism, once the world achieves perfection all the souls in the House of the Lie will be lifted up into Heaven.
