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.

Greetings,

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.

**Actually, The Patriarchal Doctrine of Abram becoming the Patriarch Abraham was first introduced into the Hebrew Religion of Judaism.

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,

**I am not a Christian, but I do study the Ancient Sumerian Religion.Firstly it is not conducive to mix match various Mesopotamian Religions such as Sumerian and Babylonian as if each is just an aspect of the other. For there are various names for the Gods and Goddesses in Sumerian that change and are vastly different in meaning when compared to their Babylonian later usage. Such as Inanna in Sumerian means (Goddess of the Storehouse), whereas Ishtar in Babylonian describes more of the Morning Star or Venus that rises, and Tammuz of the Babylonians has a different name in Sumerian Text it is Dumuzi. Actually Inanna was married to Dumuzi, and she became also known as a Fertility Goddess. And how you can connect Mary the Mother of Christ as being a Virgin and a Harlot is beyond sensibility. From a Christian viewpoint the Virgin Mary was espoused to Joseph when she conceived of the Spirit of God to bare Jesus, and she was considered without spot.

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".

**Sumerian and Babylonian Religions are considered as Religions ofthe East, Greece had its Pantheon of Gods and it Temples in the West, and Likewise the beginings of Rome before the Emporer Constatine decreed Christianity as the State Religion had as its Religion Paganism and Polytheism. In my opinion the bible says their are already many AntiChrists in the New Testament writtings, by this it means a state of the church who outwardly follow the teachings of Christ but inwardly they have a different Spirit than the Holy Spirit. There is no one-man going to be raised up and called the Antichrist, and I would challenge anyone using the Old or New Testament to prove the scriptural refferences where they thing that there are references of a Opponent of God which would come in physical form and be called the Anti-Christ. These legends didn't even come about until about 1500 years after the time of 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..

**I would disagree with you completely here. Since we have the modern printing press, the advent of computers and the internet, and various Alternative and other Faith Spirituality Groups becoming free to speak of their beliefs, we have in essence become more spiritual than ever before. It is this freedom of expression that scares the hell out of Fundamental bible thumping christians, that thing every one should follow a herd mentality. Always in fear of the Lake of fire and becoming lost without a guide. In essence today is a time of awakening for many expressions of Spirituality that used to be outlawed by the Church.

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),

**Actually the first person ever recorded to have been hung on a Tree was Inanna in a Sumerian Text called "The Descent of Inanna into the Underworld" and Inanna was a Female.



but it would also be met with hostilities from abrahamic fundamentalists.

**There will always be factions never agreeing with one another. Its the way of Life. Differentiation is a form of existence of the individual, wheich is the begetter of Traditionalism.,
