Well, if major religion, it definitely needs to have lasting power. My guess could be that it starts out as a fertility cult/mother goddess that just absorbs the rest of the deities within it.

I mean, look at how things were before Judaism. Supposedly, Yahweh was just a war god or a personal god of a tribe that just grew in importance as a result of the Israelites’ victories and such. So I figure something could happen.

It all depends on the where though
Its one particular theory. Like with most things in regards to ancient religion, there's a lot of guess work and supposition. Much of the theories about the early development of the Abrahamic are pretty shaky based on things like "this name is similar!"
