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

The Jewish messiah and the figure of Jesus likely have origins in this figure.
