	At this final ordeal, “the wicked will suffer a second death, and will perish off the face of the earth.

	According to Boyce , “salvation for the individual depended on the sum of their thoughts, words and deeds, and there could be no intervention, whether compassionate or capricious, by any divine Being to alter this.” In other words, when “the end” finally comes, you get no second chance. The judgment that is passed is final and you either live as an immortal in paradise on Earth, enabled by Amesha Penta (Immortal Holy One) who prepares a “mystical ‘white haoma,’”1 a substance which confers immortality (Boyce, 2001, p. 28), or you don’t. <ref>Mary Boyce, ''Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices.''

	<blockquote>Thereafter men [sic] will become like the Immortals themselves, of one thought, word and deed, unaging, free from sickness, without corruption, forever joyful in the kingdom of God upon earth. For it is in this familiar and beloved world, restored to its original perfection, that, according to Zoroaster, eternity will be passed in bliss, and not in a remote insubstantial Paradise.” <ref>Mary Boyce, ''Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices.''
