Ancient myths commonly tell about conflicts between a line of Father God and a line of Mother God. And most of them tell that a line of Mother God stood up to the absolute control of a line of Father God. In such cases, a line of Mother God opposed together with a line of Child God, not alone, against a line of Father God, as told in the drama of Greek mythology. Thus mythologies revealed aspects of cosmic divine world. Monotheism concealed such aspects. But even if monotheism liquidated Gods by advocating one Creator, aspects of the cosmic world are visible in the background.

The Lost Ten tribes of Israel tried to preserve David as the core of a line of Child God, while remaining two tribes of Judah tried to establish controlling power by a line of Mother God. It can be made clear by confirming from the level of divine world that Moses who advocated monotheism was an apostle of a line of Mother God, while Jesus Christ was that of a line of Father God. This is a root cause of the conflicts between two kinds of monotheism, Judaism and Christianity. Jesus Christ appeared in the two tribes of Judah after the death of Ephraim, namely in the alliance of Gaea of a line of Mother God and Judas, that is, Kronos of a line of Child God so as to dominate them. Judah detested the control by a line of Father God and drove away Jesus Christ.

As the result, Christianity established as a religion to dominate the world. As to Isram, it is a monotheism belonging to the same stream as Christianity, but it has a quite different background. Namely, Isram is a monotheism that is neither a line of Mother God as Judaism nor a line of Father God as Christianity, but a line of Child God. Though it is a monotheism of a line of Child God, it maybe a descent of Kronos that is neither a lineage of David whom Efraim wanted to establish nor a lineage of Judas. Isram is a plunderous religion in a desert established by Mohammed as a line of Child God. Swords brandished by them are closely related to their thought of sacred war now. Their movement toward sacred war seems to oppose directly Judea. But the intention to crush the arrangement of God that Israelite, the chosen tribes by God, tried to perform is hidden in the background.

Some of the groups intending sacred war are connected with primitive Christianity. Therefore, Isram is not a simple monotheism. Thus the aspect of cosmic world seems quite complicated and interesting.
