Title:The Urgent Need to Advance Toward the Next Evolution of the Abrahamic ReligionsFull Letter Text (to the Editor of Al-Alam Newspaper):


Dear Editor of Al-Alam,Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of God,I am writing in response to the profound and moving article published today in your esteemed newspaper, titled “The Abrahamic Movement… The Last Chance for Encounter,” authored by Mr. Mohamed Iken. The piece offers a quiet reflection in turbulent times: as divisions deepen and certainties falter, it returns us to Abraham—not as a distant figure of faith, but as a living symbol of courage, unity, and moral clarity. It poses an essential question: can our shared spiritual roots become a bridge rather than a barrier? And it concludes with beautiful hope: perhaps, in remembering Abraham, we may still find a way to meet beyond fear and politics, within a wider horizon of mercy and shared humanity.This message touches the heart deeply and resonates with broader efforts to promote Abrahamic unity (as championed by figures such as Tom Wegner, who was mentioned and tagged in the original post). As someone greatly inspired by this vision, I propose we take one additional bold step forward: guide the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—toward their next evolutionary stage. A stage that carefully preserves their positive cultural and moral essence (mercy, justice, love of neighbor, community, respect for life, pursuit of peace, care for the Earth, and awareness of human interconnectedness), while at the same time freeing them from outdated chains and elements that hinder humanity’s progress in the 21st century.For this evolution to be sincere and impactful, the leaders, scholars, and communities of the three faiths must honestly and maturely acknowledge their ancient, shared, and pluralistic origins, based on comparative religious studies, modern archaeological discoveries, and cross-cultural analyses.The Hebrew word “Elohim”—usually translated as “God” in the singular—is grammatically a plural form and points to a divine council or assembly of powerful beings, not a single entity alone. This reflects the worldview of the ancient Near East, where divine councils appear clearly in Canaanite (Ugaritic), Babylonian, Assyrian texts, and even in the earliest layers of the Hebrew Bible.These ideas receive their most detailed and vivid expression in Sumerian and Akkadian texts about the Anunnaki—“those of royal blood” or the great gods—who are described as advanced beings that came to Earth, genetically and culturally engineered humanity, founded the first civilizations, taught agriculture, writing, laws, mathematics, and architecture, and oversaw human development for thousands of years. Abraham himself came from Ur of the Chaldees (Sumer), directly linking his story to this heritage.Comparative studies reveal a dense network of shared motifs:
  • The flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh (far older than the biblical version) and its precise parallels with the Book of Genesis.
  • The theme of the divine council deliberating humanity’s fate (Psalm 82, Job 1–2, 1 Kings 22, and hundreds of Mesopotamian parallels).
  • The gradual transition from multiple divine powers to the supremacy of the One—a historical process clearly visible in ancient Israelite religion and the broader regional context.
Modern discoveries reinforce this in a striking way: in 2025, advanced geophysical scans (ground-penetrating radar, muon tomography, satellite synthetic aperture radar) beneath the Giza Plateau revealed a vast previously unknown underground network: deep vertical cylindrical shafts, multi-level interconnected chambers, and extensive subterranean complexes. These structures align remarkably with ancient Egyptian myths of the “Halls of Amenti”—an underground repository of knowledge containing the complete records of human civilization, advanced wisdom, and the true history of our species. The halls are attributed to Thoth (god of wisdom and writing), who in comparative studies is identified with the Sumerian Ningishzidda—one of the key Anunnaki figures associated with the transmission of knowledge.Honest acknowledgment of these pluralistic origins (and possibly advanced external influences) does not diminish the grandeur or truth of the Abrahamic religions; rather, it places them within a far grander cosmic and historical context:
  • Judaism joyfully reclaims its Canaanite-Sumerian roots.
  • Christianity reinterprets “Elohim” as the divine collective that prepared the way for the incarnation of love in Jesus.
  • Islam views the supreme oneness of Allah as the fulfillment and elevation of the ancient cosmic narrative present in pre-Islamic Arabian, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian traditions.
This approach dismantles old mechanisms of control—selective “ethics,” situational enforcement of doctrines, institutional secrecy, and historical endorsement of harmful policies—while fiercely preserving the moral treasures: mercy, justice, love of neighbor, care for the vulnerable, protection of the planet, and the aspiration for lasting peace.In the spirit of Mohamed Iken’s contemplative article—and in resonance with the broader Abrahamic vision—let us see Abraham not only as the father of three religions, but as the first bridge-builder between the ancient cosmic past and the unified future we must create together. By advancing these religions through the pursuit of truth and open dialogue, we honor their deepest essence and prepare humanity to face the crises of our time—environmental collapse, technological disruption, inequality, conflicts—with deeper spiritual wisdom and shared hope.I respectfully invite religious leaders, scholars, interfaith thinkers, and the readers of your newspaper to engage in this necessary and hope-filled dialogue. Together we can rewrite humanity’s story—from one of division and old control to one of awakening, reconciliation, mercy, and shared flourishing on a restored Earth.With deepest respect and optimism for what is possible,Alexander Levites
