First
Word
Having studied the Bible for
some time, when I first saw the movie THE
MATRIX,
I saw overtones of the Bible woven
throughout. By the third viewing, I was
sure it was a fight against Good vs; Evil, Satan vs; God; which prompted a Word
Study on “The
Parable of The Matrix”.
C.S.
Lewis wrote a book for the youth
called “The
Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” which
was the Gospel of Jesus Christ written in Parable form. I believe that brothers Larry & Andy
Wachowski, who wrote and directed The Matrix believed
only a select few would go to see another Jesus Movie and positioned it so that
you could draw any number of conclusions depending on your “BS”,
your Belief
System.
After you read this; you will wonder if YOU are in The Matrix.
Background
The
Parable begins with AI or
Artificial Intelligence which had been invented in the early 21st
century to produce “Human like machines” in order that mankind could survive;
but it was taken to the point of encroaching on the divine sphere which would
include growing and harvesting humans in pods or to say it another way; TEST TUBE BABIES.
At some point around 2199, the AI program had already rebelled against
humanity and spawned a race of SOLAR powered machines that took over the
planet. In order to combat this, mankind
scorched the sky with a nuclear winter holocaust fire to darken the sky so
without sunlight the machines would run out of power and stop working. This produced an all-out war which the AI machines
came through as the victor driving the humans underground.
First you
feast on sin; then Sin feast on you. There’s a way that seems right to man, but in
the end, it’s the way of death. The AI machines had already developed a “Power Plant” which provided a
new source of energy by extracting body heat and bio-electricity from humans
which were being home grown in prison pods; this energy from the humans powered
the Matrix. Oddly enough, the humans own
body energy was keeping them captive.
To prevent a rebellion; the humans in the prison pods were hooked up
with an Interactive
Matrix network of Virtual Reality which produced a perpetual DREAM that simulated life on earth
as we know it in 1999. In
actuality,
the humans were in a small pod where they fueled the Matrix with their body heat, BLIND to
the real world by the programming of their mind. They are in a fallen world system that has
programmed their mind with fallen thinking. [1] Kind of like today.
People,
Places & Things
The Matrix
The
Matrix is a place where harvested humans were placed in prison
pods or womb like sacks hooked up to computers as slaves, but they do not know
it. They are programmed with virtual reality
programs and their minds are wrapped up in BUSY little things. Its purpose is to CONTROL what they think; their
minds have been blinded.[2]
This
represents a fallen world system; the corrupt Matrix World system of
Government, business, education, entertainment, commerce and philosophy has
become the enemy.
At this writing; we are entering an election phase of who will be our
next President. The one with the most
money will win; it has become an AUCTION instead of an ELECTION. This begs the question to be asked…. Are we in The Matrix too?
Sentinels
Sentinels are Octopus
like squids that patrol the “Power Plant” of the Matrix making sure everything stays in order; they are the Matrix
Police.
Harvesters
The
Growing Fields: I must stop here and say that the Matrix
machines had developed to the
point where they were growing genetically altered humans in pods and have
what’s known as “Harvesters” who take the humans and place them into the matrix womb pods where they live out their life’s as
slaves, but they do not know it... They have no parents
Doc-Bots
Doctor Robots keep check on
all the humans in the womb like pods inside the Matrix “Power Plant” to make sure they are healthy and
that they are all hooked up correctly in order to extract the most energy from
them.
Rejected
Humans are
disconnected and flushed down a toilet tube to be
emulsified into a liquid that is then fed back to the other “pod humans”
to keep them nourished and alive.
Matrix Agents
Agents are machines that function inside the Matrix Program, they are NOT part of the Matrix
Power Plant,
yet they can move powerfully through it. They are like the “Secret Service” and have been
programmed with abilities that allow them to defy the laws of nature. They are evil spiritual cosmic forces; if you
see one… RUN.[3]
Agent Smith
Agent
Smith parallels Satan or the Anti-Christ of
the Bible. At some point we see “Three
Agents” which smacks of the Un-holy trinity; Satan, the Anti-Christ and
the False
Prophet.
Agent
Smith has the ability to POSSESS
the bodies of anyone who is wired into his matrix. At some point Neo is captured and Agent Smith flips through Neo’s record ACCUSING him[4] of
all his hacking activities… He is none other than Satan himself; THE ACCUSER.
A
Deal is offered by Agent Smith to Neo; he turns it down just like Jesus
did when He was tempted.[5]
Zion
Zion is the last
remaining city of mankind; they have been in exile and slavery for some 200
years and are looking for a Redeemer Deliverer, a Messiah. The Plot places Zion in the center of the earth.
Its inhabitants were not direct slaves
of the Matrix, but were exiled
fugitives who were forced underground into the sewers and they will do anything
to defend their city of Zion. NOTE: The actual slaves are physically in the Matrix Power Plant Pods.
Zion is the place referred to as where the “Great
Celebration” will take place after they win the war. They have FAITH
and look for “THE
ONE” that is to come.[6] Zion in the Bible is
a place and a people; the mountain of Zion is home to the Temple, the dwelling place
of God and Zion
is the Promised Land.
It is the promise of how things can be and will be one day. It’s a place
which some consider to be the center of the universe; where Heaven, Hell and the Temple of God meet.
Morpheus
knows the codes to the location of Zion and the Agents want
the codes and are after him; they must destroy
the people of Zion.
The Oracle
The
Oracle is
a “SEER”,
a guide
who can help Neo
find THE PATH. She is somewhat like a fortune
teller and not religious by
nature, but a pagan
who reads
the palms and SERCHES the body. She has the gift of being able to see things
afar off although she does not understand the “why” of many of them.
She PROPHESIZED that “THE ONE”
that was to
come would be their
deliverer. He would:
1)
Destroy
the BLINDING Matrix
2)
End
the War
3)
Bring
Freedom to the people
The Oracle had never missed
a PROPHECY and certainly
was one to be believed. She had told Morpheus that
he himself would be the one to find “THE ONE”[7] (Chosen by God)
Scripture: The Holy Spirit will
GUIDE us into ALL truth;[8]
God’s Word is a lamp unto our PATH.[9]
An
Oracle was
considered a Prophet
of God; a speaker. Some were
pagan; however Truth is Truth regardless of who speaks it.
Scripture:
Search me O God; know my thoughts;[10] the Oracle searches
Neo’s body &
hands.
Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar
is
the name of the hovercraft ship that keeps Morpheus’ crew safe. In scripture King Nebuchadnezzar was the very
enemy of Israel and of God; but God used him in His
sovereign plan. Nebuchadnezzar
was the agent of God’s Justice;
God called him His
servant.
While Nebuchadnezzar was an Evil King; God had placed Good on the inside
of this hovercraft in the form of the crew.
God can use Evil for Good.
With that said, in my BS, my Belief System, I
believe that there is scriptural evidence that after Daniel interpreted the
dream of Nebuchadnezzar that he actually became a believer in the God of
Israel; a “son
of God”, a follower of ‘the ONE GOD of Israel”; YAHWEH.[11]
The Plaque: there is a plaque
inside the hovercraft Nebuchadnezzar that simply reads Mark
III, II, which translated from scripture, Mark 3:11; “You are the Son
of God”. [12]
Morpheus
Morpheus’ name smacks of
the mythical Greek god of DREAMS which is
exactly what is going on in the Matrix Power Plant. He is the Captain of the hovercraft
Nebuchadnezzar and is likened unto that of John the Baptist who “prepared the way”[13]
and pointed to Jesus the Christ; “The One” who he was not even worthy to untie
his sandals.[14]
Morpheus would lay down his life for this brother Neo.[15]
Morpheus pointed to Neo
stating that “He
is the ONE” and is humbled by his presence. The Oracle said “without Morpheus we are Lost.” (Morpheus seems to reflect God’s Love in
this role.) It
was Morpheus’ vision of HOPE for the future
that held together the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar and ultimately the people of
Zion. His Love for Zion brings up the
first commandment; LOVE the Lord your
God with all your heart, soul and strength.[16]
Morpheus tells Neo
that “the
body cannot live without the mind.” He is saying that the body without the spirit
is dead. FAITH
without WORKS is a dead Faith.[17]
Weapons of
Destruction
Morpheus has a program that
will “SUPPLY ALL THEIR NEEDS” to fight the battle within the matrix program. This
fight is happening in an unseen world against dark
powers and evil spirits.[18]
Neo asks for guns, LOTS OF GUNS and the program brings fourth an infinite supply. Scripture: My God shall supply all your NEEDS
according to His riches in glory.[19]
– (Do not confuse
NEEDS with WANTS.)
Agent Smith (Satan); throws at us every temptation he has in his arsenal of weapons, and each
time God provides A WAY OF
ESCAPE.[20]
NOTE: In the movie it seem like a lot of innocents
are getting killed, but you must remember that all non-believers have the
propensity to become AGENTS of Agent Smith (Satan). So whoever is not with God, is
against God and is His enemy,[21]
even
though these are the very same people He is trying to save. Jesus did not come to condemn; but to save.[22]
Trinity
Trinity under Morpheus
is the second highest ranking member of the Nebuchadnezzar crew. She is also a disciple likened to that of Mary Magdalene who was devoted to Jesus. Trinity must respond to the Question; do you think Neo
is THE ONE?[23]
She says YES.
Trinity was with Neo
when He died and was the first to see Him resurrected just like in scripture
when Mary
Magdalene was with Jesus.
She tore her clothes to wipe Neo’s head as Mary Magdalene would use her hair.
Her Kissing Neo is an indication of a future relationship.
Note:
Scripture does not support any sexual relationship between Mary and Jesus. Her kiss has no power in its own, but her name
Trinity
embodies the power of the FULL LOVE of
the “God
head” which imparts life back into Neo.
Death cannot separate the
Believer from the Love of God.[24]
The Crew
The
Crew of
the Nebuchadnezzar can be viewed as the dedicated Disciples. They are the Church; each one with a
different role to play; all vital to its health and wellbeing. The crew members all have varying degrees of belief in the vision of Morpheus as well as have mixed opinions about who Neo is.
Doser is the Pilot
and the brother of Tank; this is a parallel like unto the three sets
of brothers among the Apostles.[25]
(Andrew
& Peter – James & John – Mathew & James; son of Alphaeus)
Tank is the operator
and the trainer; and the brother of Doser.
His name symbolizes power and stability and he comes with excitement as
is likened unto that of Simon Peter.
Apoc,
Mouse and
the only other woman Switch, are soldiers, sentinels, watchmen.
Cypher who is also one
of the crew is a parallel to Judas BETRAYING
Jesus and the other disciples.[26] He leads Morpheus and Neo into a trap with the
promised payment of being inserted back into “The Matrix” with a new and better RICH
life.[27] Cypher wishes he
had NEVER taken the RED PILL,
but is unable to go back. He was never a believer. He
says he would choose the Matrix again
over how his life is now even though “HE KNOWS” it’s only an illusion. He prefers the
darkness to the Light.[28]
Note: The Nebuchadnezzar ship
is like that of the church which is composed of three types of people; Non-Believers, Believers & Make Believers. Cypher is not only a non-believer, he is also a MAKE BELIEVER; an
actor;
he is in the church, but not really of it.
Cypher
took the Red
Pill, a symbol of being saved, but God will say “I Never Knew
You.”[29]
The
Cup: Neo drinks from a
cup and hands it to Cypher who drinks from the same cup; from
scripture; the one who dipped his hand in the same bowl with me is the
betrayer.[30]
The
Betrayal: When we see Cypher at his betrayal, he has a
desire for the delicacies of food,[31]
he is eating a BLOODY
rare steak; this is a foreshadow of the blood he will cause to be spilled. The Book says
that the delicacies
of the rulers are a deceptive food.
Cypher wants to be IMPORTANT like an Actor; one
who pretends to be someone else. Oddly
enough, he already is. Cypher’s
matrix name is Mr.
Reagan. (Ronald Regan was an ACTOR and an IMPORTANT President). The Pride of
Life characteristic is NOT from God.[32] Cypher is a FOOL and his soul will be required of him.
The Oxford Dictionary says Cypher or Cipher is an obsolete name for “ZERO”
and that is who he was; “a zero”…
Like Judas, it would have been better
if he had not been born.[33] Interestingly later on in the plot; Cypher
is wearing SNAKE
SKIN akin to the Serpent
in the Garden of Eden.
The First Neo
The First Neo: There was another Deliverer that existed
before Neo
that was born inside the Matrix, who changed the programming as he saw
fit, escaped, freed the first humans and taught them ‘The Truth” and then at some
point died. The freed humans were exiled
to the last remaining city called Zion; waiting for the prophesied return of another
deliverer, another Messiah; “THE ONE”.
THE
ONE will
be the person who is able to destroy the Matrix and set the people free. This parallels the Israelites expectation that
a military leader would arise from the line of David, free Israel from foreign
rule and restore Israel to its former glory.[34]
He would be their deliverer; their Messiah. It would not be enough to just set the people
free, but to also destroy the sinful thing that had imprisoned them.
The Book; Jesus came, died and was resurrected and
is Prophesized to
return soon.
Setting the Stage
Awake in the
scriptures is a metaphor for being saved, while asleep
is a metaphor for being lost. Neo
was born into bondage just like everybody else and will remain a slave to sin until he is set free by his FAITH in Jesus Christ.
As the movie begins, Thomas Anderson (Neo) is at his computer as
he often does night after night, weary and can’t sleep. He feels something is wrong, not just with
him, but with everything around him, he is searching for truth because life
without truth is empty; something vital is missing. He HACKS into
other programs and is noticed by the “The Matrix”
as well as the “Underground Resistance”.
Thomas is an illegal software peddler, but
he is allowed to function so that The Matrix can track his every move to see where it all goes
and who surfaces; they are looking for Morpheus who has the
codes to the location of Zion. The Wildest thing is that Thomas (Neo) is not really at his
computer at all, but is in a womb like sac inside the Matrix, but is operating somewhat outside the
boundaries of the Matrix Programing.
His Friends take him to the shadowy scene
of an S&M depraved night club where he stands alone looking uncomfortable
and is PURSUED[35]
and found by Trinity. She warns him, trouble is crouching at your door.[36]
Thomas (Neo) already foggily senses
something is just not right, that something is wrong with life in general; he
is searching for TRUTH.[37]
The “Underground Resistance”
has the technology to get in and out of the Matrix programing
and they have contacted Thomas and offered him “The
Truth” and nothing more. Thomas has been drawn[38]
and shown THE DOOR, but is told that he
himself must of his own FREE WILL voluntarily walk through
it.[39] (In my BS, I see this statement as the point of the whole
movie; the Holy Spirit can draw
us and show us the door, but we must choose whether or not to walk
through it.)
Morpheus
tells Neo;
there’s a difference between knowing the Path and
walking the
path. Trinity tells
Neo; “The answer is out there… It’s looking for you and it will find
you… If you want it to”. It’s a choice; there
is a WAY OUT of the Matrix; a way of escape.[40]
You only have a WINDOW of opportunity, then it is closed. In Neo’s office cubicle, to avoid
being captured by the Custody Agents,
he is shown a “WINDOW” with a NARROW ledge[41]
where he can escape through to a scaffolding that will take him UP.[42]
Neo IS
AFRAID and chooses not
to take the advice and is arrested by the Custody
Agents who take him captive DOWN the BROAD WAY. We are called to step out on the NARROW path of FAITH; but few find the path.
The Enemy
Anyone that is not for us, is against us.[43] The enemy, besides the Agents,
is EVERYONE that is hooked up to the Matrix (world system). At any moment they could become possessed by an Agent who could in turn destroy us.[44]
PPPP: Oddly enough, those in the Power Plant Prison Pods are the very ones that they have come to
save. Most people are not ready to become UN-PUGGED and will
fight to keep things as they are, WARM AND FUZZY.
Red Pill or Blue Pill
The Red Pill or the Blue Pill:
The
Red Pill (The blood of Christ) dispels the
darkness and reveals the truth; The Blue Pill (The world system) causes you to
forget the truth just received, blinds the mind, numbs the senses and gives you
the world view that you desire. Deep blue suggest nighttime, dreaming, illusions, and
darkness; it’s okay to believe whatever you want to believe, just be sincere.
(However,
it will not save you.)
The right hand holds the Red Pill;
as Believers (The Sheep) are placed on the right hand of God the Father; whereas the Blue pill;
is in the left hand where the unbelievers (The Goats) are separated out to the left. (The Goats are good for nothing except Hell Fire.) [45]
Open Options: YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE EITHER PILL, but your airplane will just circle the
airfield until it runs out of fuel and crashes; in effect keeping your “OPTIONS OPEN” is a rejection
of the Red Pill.
Thomas Anderson (Neo) has received “some truth”
and now must choose whether to take the Red Pill to learn
more or the Blue
Pill to erase the new truths. It is when this “Doubting Thomas” takes the Red pill that he becomes BORN AGAIN. He has
chosen; and this is when he really becomes “Neo”. The
very NEXT words Neo
hears is “FOLLOW
ME.”[46]
Taking the Red Pill and being born again brings on immediate external
trials; count on it. ONCE YOU CHOOSE, you cannot go
back, even if you want to. In or Out; choose wisely. It’s hard to explain how a CATERPILLAR
can
become a BUTTERFLY and how it can
never go back; it has been born again;
it’s a new creature.[47]
In Scripture, the Garden of Eden had two special Trees; one gave the ability to have the Knowledge of Good
and Evil just like the gods,[48]
but came with a warning. The other tree simply just gave
everlasting life; A CHOICE, we can be like
the gods or have everlasting life.
NOTE: be like the
gods or have everlasting life is a powerful choice; the Book
says my people PERISH for lack of knowledge.[49] The first thing we think of is, I want to be
just like the gods; not knowing these little gods will all perish.[50] God did not want fallen man to be trapped in
a sinful life for eternity, so he barred him from eating also from “The Tree of
Life” giving him a way of
escape.
Virgin
Birth
Neo has always existed inside
the Matrix in an incubator sac complete with umbilical cords. He is different and becomes aware of what is
going on and tries to free himself; the Robotic Doctor senses
that he is defective and flushes him like sewage out of the womb pod of the
power plant down the “delivery system” of a watery canal into the world… He has just been birthed…This is reflective of
a Virgin
birth like that of Jesus Christ.[51]
Neo was born
again when he took the Red Pill, so the next step would be HIS BAPTISM. He is baptized in the flushed water from his
womb pod. He is hairless and has rarely used his arms and legs, therefore he
cannot swim. He is extracted by Morpheus just before he drowns and becomes emulsified.
He is figuratively RAISED
out of the baptismal waters into a new life by John the Baptist (Morpheus). His
eyes hurt because he had never used them; Neo is starting to actually SEE.[52]
The New Neo
Neo has the street name of Thomas Anderson and is a computer
programmer. Thomas first comes on the
scene as a lost man trying to find the TRUTH, then as a saved man doubting
what he has just learned. The name Thomas can be linked to “Doubting Thomas”[53]
as this new Neo
did not believe that he was “THE ONE”.
Did you see it? NEO Anagram; EON one
who is forever, ONE who
is the deliverer. Neo from
the Greek, means “New” and Anderson comes from the Greek Word “Ander”
meaning “Man”;
A NEW MAN.[54] DID YOU GET IT… the play on words, “Son of Man”.
Thomas moonlights as Neo a computer hacker who is eventually recruited
by humanity’s
underground rebellion who are fighting against the AI Sentinels machines. His computer screen says WAKE UP (The fallen world has you.) The recruitment “CALL” comes not by an angel, but
by a Federal
Express Agent delivering a cell phone; never the less, “The Call”
came and Neo
answered it.
Note one: In the recruitment
of Neo,
he is actually still in the Matrix hooked
up to tubes and umbilical cords, but has the insight that something is wrong
with what he sees… There must be more… He cannot
sleep, and searches for the answer as he sits at his computer.
Neo
meets with the Oracle and she prophesizes that Neo will die and be resurrected.
This parallels Christ’s own prophecy
that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer much and be killed, but will be
resurrected on the third day. Neo
is further told that EITHER Morpheus
will die or he will die; he must choose. Neo choses
to sacrifice
himself for Morpheus and all the others. No Greater love has this that a man lay down his life for his friend.[55]
Neo
dies and is resurrected; not in 3 days, but perhaps 72 seconds. (Could the 72 seconds equal 72 HOURS or
3 DAYS.) [56]
What brings him back is the kiss of LOVE from “Trinity”.
God breathes life back into Neo
and he hears the words… “NOW GET UP”… the very words every born again Believer looks forward to
hearing after their death. [57]
Note
two: Trinity;
a woman, is the first to see Neo resurrected; like that of Mary Magdalene who was the first to see Jesus resurrected. Neo now has an imperishable body[58]
like that of Jesus
Christ and all resurrected
believers. He can now stop bullets in midair, all the weapons that form against him do not work; his
weapons have DEVINE POWER.[59] We can do all things though Christ who
strengthens us.[60]
It’s in the Book
Neo has received power[61]
over the
EVIL matrix and their Agents; especially Agent Smith who he now can fight with one hand behind his
back. Agent Smith who allegorically is Satan reaches into Neo
to impart his Evil
self into him. Neo
instead of becoming Evil, consumes all the evil in Agent Smith’s body as well as ALL the other Evil Agents. Evil and Sin has now been swallowed up and
defeated.
Neo’s body radiates light. (Jesus said I am the light of the world) [62]
The war could not have been won without the
death and resurrection of Neo with an
imperishable body. This is what happened
when Christ died for us on the cross defeating death so that
we also may live.
Note three: During the final fight; all of the other evil AGENTS watch to see who will win; Good or Evil; Jesus or
Satan. All creation is watching today; we
already know how it ends because we have read the end of the book. SELAH!
Neo flies up to heaven[63]
which represents the Believer[64] going to be with God after his earthly assignment
on earth has been completed. IT IS FINISHED.[65] Everyone that is now in heaven is
a TRUE believer, they have chosen
to be there; the story of the rebellion will be told over and over for eternity
as the angels were all WITNESSES for all time; there will never be another rebellion.
Allegory
The MATRIX Movie is a high tech twist of Science Fiction that has a theme woven through
it presenting that there is a single TRUTH out there and a single PATH to find it. Morpheus and Trinity
may seem at times to represent God and Neo
represents the lost person that becomes a Believer by Faith; he received a little truth and
wanted more; he took the Red Pill.
Note: There is no magic pill; Salvation is the act of embracing Jesus Christ by Faith
and having a direct relationship with him.
Christ is our only hope of escaping death and embracing life.[66]
There is NO other way.
Neo is NOT intended to be an
accurate portrayal of Jesus Christ, but can parallel the life of Christ as you
filter it through your mind.
God
Where is God? In 2199, most of the people seem to either
have no belief in God or no knowledge of God; they are Agnostic or Atheist by
nature. God is not mentioned at all except
to take His name in vain.
Exile: Because man
has invented Artificial Intelligence that encroached on the Devine by
growing humans in pods, God hides His face and abandons them to Exile for 200
years.
Redemption: God returns to redeem mankind and just so you don’t miss the point, it
is seen through THREE MIRACLES. Cypher (JUDAS) says that it would take a Miracle to stop him.
1) Tank
stops Cypher from pulling the plug
2) Morpheus
comes back to them alive
3) Neo
comes back to life.
God has revealed
Himself; the long awaited “Battle Hymn”
of restoration has begun.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful
lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
I CAN ONLY SHOW YOU THE DOOR
YOU MUST WALK THROUGH IT.
