Additionally, the book notes that the ship's nameplate contains the words "Mark III No. 11", which alludes to the Bible verse Mark 3:11: "And, whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, 'You are the Son of God,'" relating Neo's path to the Jesus story.
When the ship is destroyed in the second film, he quotes (or rather paraphrases) Daniel, saying: "I dreamed a dream . . . but now that dream is gone from me" (Daniel 2:3).
While influences from both biblical motifs and pop mysticism are in evidence, the film references these sources — along with many other sources, including classical Greek culture, Lewis Carroll, and Star Wars — in a way that is of aesthetic significance, not religious.
You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ." A plate in Morpheus's ship Nebuchadnezzar bears the inscription "Mark III No. 11," a probable allusion to the Bible: Mark 3:11 reads, "Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, 'You are the Son of God!'
11". This corresponds with the Bible verse Mark 3:11 "And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, 'You are the Son of God! '" This adds to the Neo-is-Messiah theme of the movie.

How does the Matrix relate to Jesus?
Neo is referred to throughout the Matrix trilogy as the One, that is, the chosen one, which also describes Christ—a messiah, sent to deliver salvation. References to Christianity proliferate in the films, and the Matrix films are an allegory for the Christian faith and that Neo is a modern-day Jesus.
that you shall set apart to the LORD all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the LORD's.

The Prophecy was a prediction made by the Oracle and, as told to Neo by Morpheus, stating the coming of The One and that it will herald the destruction of the Matrix and the freedom of humanity from their oppression by the Machines. Once The One enters the Source, he will have the power to destroy the Matrix.
In the Matrix, fate rules—since the world is preconstructed and actions predetermined, all questions already have answers and any choice is simply the illusion of choice. In the real world, humans have the power to change their fate, take individual action, and make mistakes.
Matrixism, or The Path of the One, is a purported religion inspired by Lana & Lilly Wachowski's The Matrix film series. Conceived by an anonymous group in the summer of 2004, it claimed to have attracted 300 members by May 2005, and the religion's Geocities website claimed "over sixteen hundred members".
The word Zion suggests safety, since the city became a religious haven for the Israelites after years of wandering and enduring torture. In the Matrix trilogy, Zion is still a promised land as well as a safe haven, but the parallels end there.
The two other leads in the Matrix are both religious references. Trinity is the Christian conception of the godhead three-in-one. Morpheus is the Greek god of Dreams. The Oracle is heavily based on the Oracle at Delphi, a priestess of the Greek god Apollo.
Exodus 13:13. The Israelites were to redeem or "buy back" the firstborn of their children by offering a lamb in its place. These firstborn children represent the people of God's church today. The redeeming lamb represents Jesus Christ. Staff.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
“The Matrix” clearly contains religious allegories. Neo is “The One” and “Neo” is an anagram of “One”. He's a Christ figure who is supposed to sacrifice himself for the greater good. His girlfriend is “Trinity”.
Neo was the “chosen one” both figuratively and in-universe, but the way the Matrix movies deal with the idea of a predestinated hero is quite different from other popular stories like Star Wars. In The Matrix, being The One meant that Neo could perceive the Matrix simulation in a way that no other human could.
Trinity : The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to. Trinity : Neo, I'm not afraid anymore. The Oracle told me that I would fall in love and that that man... the man that I loved would be The One. So you see, you can't be dead.
Morpheus: What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
The answer is no, we are not living in the Matrix, and this is not a computer simulation. The easiest way to know this is to understand the incredible complexity of the known universe and its infinite interactions.
It has become a fashion these days to declare everything in society as a Matrix. Rich billionaires, social media influencers, gender identity activists and unsatisfied men are using Matrix as a metaphor for institutional censorship and exploitation.
Exodus 3-4 is rightly understood as Moses' call story. God calls him to a specific task, or vocation, and promises to be with him and provide the resources he needs to accomplish it.
The lesson here is that meeting with God requires personal preparation. It means seeking Him with an undivided heart and mind. It means not allowing anything else, no matter how blessed or wonderful it may be, to distract us from preparing to hear from God.
In Exodus 21, God spoke with Moses on the mountain and gave him His law for the nation of Israel. Moses – A Hebrew who grew up in the house of Pharaoh. He fled Egypt in Exodus 2 and went to live in Midian. God called him back to Egypt to deliver the Israelites from slavery.
