Where in the Avesta...

[Hawk Flint]

I came across some claims on the Internet, and I've wanted answers for this but I don't want to read the entire avesta, so I want to ask if anyone knows were in the avesta I can find the following:

(1)Zoroaster's birth

(2)His encounter with an archangel on the banks of a river that he crosses

(3)His youthful astounding of wise men with his wisdom.

(4)His temptation in the wilderness by a 'devil".

(5)His ministry at age 30.

(6)His baptism with water, fire, and "holy wind."

(7)His casting out of demons and restoration of the sight of a blind man.

(8)His teachings about heaven and hell, his revealing of mysteries, including resurrection, judgment, salvation and the apocalypse.

(9)His possession a sacred cup or grail.

(10)His death.

(11)His eucharist (I had to Google this word).

(12) That Zoroaster was the "Word made flesh."

(13)Reference to a "second coming" in the virgin-born "Saoshyant" or Savior, who is to come in 2341 CE (how do they know this?...??) and begin his ministry at age 30, ushering in a golden age.

I can't navigate through the avesta like I can navigate through the bible, and I don't have a avesta book, only an online website. Thanks for any and all answers.

Some translations that you can refer to:
Avesta (Kanga): http://www.avesta.org/kanga/ka_english_kanga_epub.pdf
Avesta (Dermestater): http://www.sacred-texts.com/zor/sbe04/index.htm
Zoroastrian scriptures: http://www.sacred-texts.com/zor/index.htm

"Ardashir (Arđaxšēr from Middle Persian and Parthian Artaxšaθra, Pahlavi ʼrthštr, "Who has the Divine Order as his Kingdom") is also known as Ardeshīr-i Pāpagān ("Ardashir, son of Pāpağ"), and other variants of his name include Latinized Artaxares and Artaxerxes."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardashir_I

For Zoroastrians: If the name of Artaxerxes (ʼrthštr) were to be translated in Sanskrit, it will come out as 'Rita Sthira' - one who stands firm in divine order. That is the meaning or Ardeshir.

Thanks for those links, I have just skimmed over them a little bit and I've already found good stuff.

Are there any references directly or indirectly to Christ and Muhammad as the Magi were said to have seen or followed a star to the birth place of Jesus.

Is there any reference to the Arabs or Islam appearing to overtake Zoroastrianism? Thank you very much

No, not in the Avesta. Any links are at best conjecture and guesses.

I also have a question regarding if something is in Avesta or similar Zoroastrian writings ; regarding King Jamsheed introducing the 4 level professions system and the wearing of the thread . I was directed to a source, but it only spoke of the thread but not the systems of priests and learned (athravan), nobles and warriors (rathestaran), farmers (vasteryosan), and artisans (hutokhshan) .
