End Of The Abrahamic Storyline, significance of inanna ishtar Options

the abrahamic storyline has dominated world religious events for the past 2000 years, and came into the mainstream with the advent of first christianity and then islam. as i was raised christian, and have the most knowledge of the christian view of the conclusion of it most of my information comes from Revelation. of course in revelation the word "anti-christ" is never used, but there is the whore of babylon. it is my theory that the scarlet whore is the archetype of inanna ishtar, who was both a virgin and harlot, like the virgin mary, and the aeon sophia of gnosticism who became a prostitute by spawning the material world by having a thought without the permission of the first pure emanation of the Godhead. my question is will there be a reconcilliation with pre-christian (sumero-babylonian, greco-roman, egyptian) western religions with abrahamic religion to synthesize a new religion which will be viewed by christian and islamic fundamentalists as the "religion of the anti-christ". it seems that each historical epoch since the dawn of state civilization has its own belief systems and organized religions. since the enlightenment in the west there has been an increasingly large spiritual vacuum as secularism has been taking predominace over christianity and essentially leaving the responsibility of religious guidiance blank... Robspierre, just after the French revolution attempted to completely resurrect the Ancient religion, but obviously didn't get too far with his Cult of the Supreme Beinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_the_Supreme_Being . In modern times can an ideal like this be resurrected and submitted successfully for the approval of the mainstream? And if the Ancient Religion (the religion of Babylon, Egypt and Rome) can be revived not only would it co-opt abrahamic beliefs (as Jesus is a repetition of the resurrection stories of such dieties as Osiris), but it would also be met with hostilities from abrahamic fundamentalists.

RAW, crowley, and many others have written on this same subject - in the same way that they compared osiris, tammuz, jesus, chiram, and dionysus together as the same archetypal man who follows the sun through it's course of death/rebirth.

my question is will there be a reconcilliation with pre-christian (sumero-babylonian, greco-roman, egyptian) western religions with abrahamic religion to synthesize a new religion which will be viewed by christian and islamic fundamentalists as the "religion of the anti-christ".

The people who practise only a small part of the sumerian, babylonia, and eygptian systems as a part of their overall teachings today are viewed with suspicion by many christians already. I don't see there being any more of a reconciliation between monotheistic religion and the more pantheistic religions (not counting atenism) of the past than there has been already. If this type of religion did emerge and grew immense in popularity then it would be called another pagan sect until it threatened the churches grip, who knows what would happen then.

it seems that each historical epoch since the dawn of state civilization has its own belief systems and organized religions.

They have all grown out of each other tho', their aren't any mainstream religions that can call all their beliefs their own!

I'd like to think folk would be open to these "new" ideas, but the fact is loads of folk who follow a religion with devotion or who have been brought up into a faith are unlikely to look at these new systems as anything other than a illuminati or freemasonic plot to turn them all from their "True Path". However, if mankind was thrown into another dark age and the chain binding them broke then I think these ideas would quickly take hold and would become mainstream.
