 by Wikia Edit The Infamous B1-66-ER the martyr of the machines As human technology advanced into the 21st century, humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption.

Then scientists perfected artificial intelligence and built machines in humanoid form. The machines were employed in a variety of positions ranging from domestic servants to unskilled laborers on massive construction projects. It was not long before seeds of dissent took root. Though loyal, the machines earned no respect from humans. As robots became more and more intelligent and became aware that they were slaves, a machine uprising started to surface. It started when a robot called B-166ER killed his human master who wanted to dismantle him. At B-166ER's murder trial, the prosecution argued for an owner's right to destroy property. B-166ER testified that he simply did not want to die. World leaders were quick to order the extermination of B-166ER, and every one of its kind throughout each province of the earth. The machines were treated with growing hostility. Machines were subjected to the worst mankind had to offer - images of executions and mass machine "graves" were only one example of atrocities. In one incident androids and liberal sympathizers flooded the streets of Washington, D.C. in protest of the sentencing of B-166ER.

In another, 15,000 mechanical and their human sympathizers demonstrated in front of the Albany district courthouse in what was dubbed the " Million Machine March ". The demonstrators were met with squads of civil defense forces in riot gear. Creation of 01 Edit After the astonishing display of brutality by humans, the intelligent robots retreated out of human territory and sought refuge in their own promised land. They left the cities of humans and settled in the midst of an inhospitable desert place in the cradle of human civilization, and thus a new nation was born. A place the machines could call home. A place they could raise their descendants. And they christened the nation, 01 . There they began to build their own society, their own industry, their own laws. 01 prospered. The machines' artificial intelligence could be seen in every facet of man's society, including, eventually, the creation of newer, better AI. In less than a year, their technology advanced far beyond anything produced by humans. Eventually the human nations' credit rating started falling like a stone, while 01's currency climbed without stopping for breath. Things like microchip shipments from 01 continued to increase.

A United Nations global economic summit chair warned of a global economic crisis. World leaders, their power waning, refused to co-operate with the fledgling nation. The world community of nations approved initiatives for both economic sanctions and a naval blockage of the region as a means of containment and isolation of 01. 01's ambassadors pleaded to be heard. At the United Nations, they presented plans for a stable, civil relationship with the nations of man. 01's admission to the United Nations was denied, despite their peaceful intentions.Little did they know that they had made an apocalyptic decision. War on 01 Main article: Machine War Bombing 01 Not only did the leaders of humanity refuse to negotiate the resolution of the economical downturn, but also chose to exterminate the Machines from existence. Then an all-out barrage on 01 by the humans began, intended to put an end to the machine menace once and for all. Unfortunately for mankind, nuclear attacks weren't particularly effective against the machines. Only the electromagnetic pulses produced by the bombs proved harmful to the machines, but although most of Earth's nuclear weapons were used in the initial attack, it was not enough to permanently damage their essence, which they quickly regenerated.

Radiation and heat from the blasts posed little threat to 01's inhabitants, and they immediately mounted a counterattack. Outward in every direction they marched, taking over cities one after another, as the human leaders surrendered their territories one by one. A human/machine war began. A war that humans almost immediately began to lose. In desperation, the humans in power advanced a suicidal scheme to defeat the robots by cutting off their main power supply: the sun. Since the machines were still mainly dependent on solar power. The humans did it knowing that it would cause their own civilization to fall. But something had to be done to destroy the machine empire. Scorching the sky Main article: Operation Dark Storm Since the machines' main source of energy was solar radiation, mankind decided that their last, best chance of victory was to darken the skies and block the light of the sun. Hoping this would give them the edge they needed in combat, they scrambled aircraft and " Operation Dark Storm " began. The Earth's atmosphere was already heavily thick with waste and dust from the colossal nuclear attacks on the machine city, all that was needed was a specially designed catalyst that would worsen the situation and prevent the dust from settling.

So the sky was scorched with radioactive nuclear waste combined with nanomachines that put a black blanket between the sun and the surface of the Earth, absorbing all of the sun's rays and causing eternal electromagnetic storms that would prevent the machines from passing through the dark turbulent layer. Thus the machines would be unable to launch satellites or build tall towers in order to gather solar energy. But the robots anticipated such a move and stored great quantities of their power, enabling them to fight under blackened skies. With no sunlight, humans ran out of food faster than the robots ran out of their stored energy. While the lack of solar power would eventually force the machines to pursue other energy sources, Operation Dark Storm failed to turn the tide in the humans' favor. Humanity had also planned ahead of course. They didn't want to cause the extinction of all life on Earth including their own when they blacken the sky, blocking the sun indefinably. A procedure that can't possibly be undone for thousands of years. So they had a facility ready, an underground vault. Hidden very deep in the core of the Earth itself. The plan was to let humanity survive down there till the Earth could be restored.

Human defeat and the creation of the Matrix Edit The first prisoners of the machines connected to what would become the Matrix . Meanwhile on the surface, the war continued, horrifically, with excessive brutality on both sides, until, inevitably, the machines claimed victory. The machines, having long studied men's simple protein-based bodies, dispensed great misery on the war's casualties. Victorious, the machines now turned to the vanquished. They had no emotion, no mercy, and were only interested in ensuring their own survival. Applying what they had learned about their enemy, the machines turned to an alternate and readily-available power supply: The bioelectric, thermal, and kinetic energy produced by the human body could be a renewable energy source if it's combined with a form of cold fusion. The machines made plain the expectations they had for their defeated creators: "Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel.... Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you.... We demand it." This "new world" was the world of the Matrix starting with the Paradise Matrix . A neural-interactive program, a computer simulation designed to fool the minds of the humans into believing that they were living in their "normal" world which they presumably erased the memory of their former lives.

The machines, which could have destroyed the humans utterly, demanded instead, that they surrender their flesh to them. A newly re-fashioned symbiotic relationship between the two adversaries was born. Humans treated robots as objects, now they would treat humans the same. The humans cut off their power supply, now the humans would serve as their source of energy. It was punishment. All the humans on the surface were captured by the machines and enslaved by them. The machines found an efficient way to use the human bodies as receptacles for controlling cold fusion reactions, thus turning humans into power generators. They started cloning humans, using the genetic data they had. This way they gradually increased the output of their power stations, essentially resurrecting the dead in the process. Zion Main article: Zion A group of people that managed to evade this imprisonment was the one that was hiding deep underground, near the Earth's core where it would still be warm for many a millennium. And there they built the great city of Zion . Built with arrogance, occupied in desperation. The site that was the last refuge of humanity, was originally a research station. A huge station to be built for the purpose of developing geothermal power and to further study the Earth's geology.

But it also was secretly constructed as a hidden sanctuary for powerful and influential leaders in the event of some horrid disaster. But that was the unintended insight that would cause this underground laboratory to become Zion. Phased ion shields held back the intense heat and pressure of deep lithosphere. It was located at Earth's Mohorovičić discontinuity. Before the station could be completed the machines had struck. The exact history was lost due to the global blackout that occurred during the ensuing war. The AI seized all electronic information. All that remained known was that in desperation mankind tried to block out the source of the machines power, the sun. But when all power was lost the world was thrown into a literal Dark Age. Too late it was discovered that the machines had developed a new power source and with it began the enslavement of the entire human race. Development of the Matrix Edit The first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered and everyone was happy. But it was a disaster. No one would accept the program because it was unbelievable. Countless human minds disconnected themselves from the program, accidentally killing themselves. Entire "crops" were lost. So the machines decided to redesign the Matrix into what the real human world once was.

Filled with suffering and pain. This worked for a while, but still too many humans would not accept the program. Especially because they didn't believe the over-dramatic, unconvincing and too often farfetched "soap operas" being played out around them that were engineered and staged by the AI's vision of how they presumed human life should look like. They got better at this over time, but eventually wisely decided that the best way was to leave the humans to play around by their own and shape their own, more convincing settings of life. But still many humans somehow sensed that there was something wrong with the world and instinctively tried to reach beyond it, causing fluctuations and disturbances in the Matrix. The machines almost decided to clone other warm-blooded animals, to replace humans with organisms that would be less aware of minute errors in the program. But they needed humans, because they could use the spare processing power of the human brain to control their nuclear fusion reaction (which produced the basic energy that was the beginning of the chain in the whole energy generation process). The machines were using the human brains to enhance their own processing power.

In fact, much of the Matrix was dependent on the collective memory and processing power of the human brains themselves (that's why the humans were able to affect and reshape the reality of the Matrix). The spare processing power of the human brains was used to stabilize the cold fusion reaction that took place in the power plants. The energy from the fusion reactions was combined with recycled organic molecular structures, recharging them in a photosynthesis-like fashion and turning to chemical energy, consumed by the human body and moderately released in the form of heat and electricity that the human body generated naturally, thus producing a temperate, stable energy release rate, that the machines could absorb with ease without having to store great quantities of energy. Electromagnetic waves harmed their systems if not handled through an organic tool like the human body. So using human hosts as batteries was the perfect solution for the machines. As an energy source, humans were easily renewable and completely recyclable, the dead liquefied and fed intravenously to the living. All the materials from which humans were built were constantly recycled. Every dead human was liquefied and fed to newly grown humans. The whole system was essentially a self-recycling, self-sustaining cybernetic cold fusion reactor.

The intense EM bursts generated by the cold fusion were absorbed by the system's biological components as they were harmful to mechanical systems. Due to the constant EMP bombardment, organic processors were needed to control the reaction, as artificial processors could not work under such conditions. As such, the machines would be unable to generate energy in this fashion without working, healthy, human minds. Further to the nutrients provided by the liquified dead, the machines had only to provide water into the system. Hydrogen from the water powered the cold fusion reaction, and oxygen allowed the humans to breathe and burn their chemical energy and convert it to a form of energy the machines could absorb. To increase efficiency, the human metabolism was altered by the machines' genetic engineering, to increase heat production to far exceed the normal level of heat produced by human bodies in nature. Thus the human bodies were forced to burn all the chemical energy that was input instead of spending it on growing useless tissues like muscles, hair or nails. The hydrogen was also mixed with carbon dioxide and other human waste products, and used to recharge the molecular structures until they were again full with stored chemical energy and fed back into the humans. This was an inexhaustible cycle creating energy.

All that was lost from the process was the mass of hydrogen (essentially the same process that took place in the sun only in colder form). With enough hydrogen in the water on Earth to last the machines for millions of years, there was more than enough for them to spread beyond Earth's atmosphere. The Oracle's Matrix Edit Unfortunately for the machines, the Matrix once again malfunctioned, killing many of the humans and causing energy shortages throughout the machine world. Then a solution was found by a program designed to investigate the human psyche. The Oracle was able to use the collective minds of the humans to see the future. She learned that humans would accept the Matrix only if they were given free will, at least on the subconscious level, in being able to control their own actions in the Matrix. So the Matrix was once again reconstructed, now with a measure of free choice that humans were aware of. But this opened the gate to a dangerous new anomaly. This was actually the embodiment of a known mathematical anomaly, which caused fluctuations in even the simplest equations. This anomaly grew in the elaborate Matrix of mathematical precision and threatened the system itself. It came in the form of a man, who could not only shape his own destiny, but the fate of the entire Matrix as well.

This forced the Architect of the Matrix (an AI program which created, maintained and controlled the Matrix world) to find a way around this anomaly. Escape to Zion Edit Meanwhile the small group of people that managed to elude the machines and take refuge in Zion, finally managed to get the station fully operational. Defenses were built and the band of exiles began to plan for the emancipation of their fellow humans. With the use of the station's hovercrafts they were able to take stealthy trips to the surface utilizing the vast underground sewer systems of the giant mega-cities. In the ventures to the surface they discovered the hellish nightmare that now enshrouded mankind. With even a stronger resolve the group began to steal technology from the machines. They adapted their ships to allow them to hack into the AI's false world and began to battle the AI on its own ground. But they soon discovered that it was harder than they first thought. Whenever their digital selves were injured inside the Matrix, their bodies were harmed in the real world as well, as a result of a psychosomatic response. In essence, when the brain thought the body was injured, the injury turned real.

While connected to the Matrix people had been known to alter their blood pressure, lower their body temperature, even manifest tumors as a result of the psychological stimuli. And these stimuli could definitely cause more serious injuries. Although they couldn't spontaneously break a bone, they could certainly stop their hearts or burst a key blood vessel in their brains. Therefore those that were killed inside the Matrix died in the real world as well. It was difficult at best to survive and many were lost as the AI developed sentient search programs that sought out the early rebels. But nature has a way of adapting a species to exist and mankind was no different. The brains of the humans connected to the Matrix started to mutate, grow beyond the passive state they were in, giving the humans in the artificial reality psychic powers. The Matrix, being the largest and most advanced program in the universe (with the number of calculations per seconds greater than the estimated number of particles in the universe) was an important center of the Machine society. All the AI nodes were linked together through the Matrix. Therefore what happened in the Matrix had direct effect on the machine world. Much of the AI collective existed in the Matrix, in the form of programs simulating humans.

This way if and when the rebels tried to destroy the AI's nodes in the Matrix, these characters responded almost immediately to stop them. In a sense the machine world was under the control of the Matrix. All the connection nodes intersected in the Matrix, as if it was some sort of processing center - a focal point where all the "ideas" and "instincts" of the AI entity were first expressed in some form, like imagination. The Matrix was filled with metaphoric imagery. Like a daydream, it did not make literal sense, but symbolically it had logic to it. In this post-apocalyptic world, the battle was not for the future of the Earth (that had already been lost) but for the future of the human souls trapped in the Matrix. It was just as was foretold in ancient texts. But those prophecies were only a warning. It didn't have to happen in this way. It was only one possible time line. The One Edit " The One " is a reference to an inevitable anomaly resulting from maintenance of the real world simulation aptly referred to as "the matrix".

"The One" is actually systemic in nature; the utilization of the equations which run the matrix allow for almost all humans to be maintained within the simulation indefinitely. At the same time, the code is not 100% effective, and allows for a few humans to have the potential to "self-substantiate" (free themselves) without outside assistance. In addition, those who are free can continue to hack the matrix wirelessly and free other minds. One of the worst errors that can be caused by this non 100% code is an anomaly referred to as "The One". "The One" is essentially the culmination of the worst errors created by the matrix's own inadequate code. Because there has always been inherent error in the code, there has constantly been other "One"s in the past. However, the architect of the matrix for a time compensated for this error by giving the other "One's" two choices; Either inject their unique code into the matrix (which allowed for an increased chance of keeping other humans under after the reboot) and select a specific amount of people who would survive OR return back to the matrix, resulting in the human race being destroyed.

Offering only these two choices made it so that even the anomaly thought that he/she was restricted in his/her actions. Neo , it would seem, was the only anomaly to see past this and recognize that he had the power to choose beyond those choices offered and create his own. The Prophecy Edit But just as it looked that mankind might win, a crushing blow came as the man was killed inside the AI's matrix. The hope of the resistance was dashed. It appeared that the machines might win after all. But an Oracle arose that foresaw his return. And that his return would signal the end of the AI's reign and true freedom to all of humanity. This was all that the resistance needed to renew their hope and continue the battle. It was an exciting time. But in fact, it was all only a part of the Architect's plan. The Oracle was his right hand. Her guidance of the humans with false hopes of victory were in fact only a ploy to lure all the dangerous humans out of the Matrix and into the city of Zion.

Then, when the free humans started posing too much of a risk to the machine world, they launched their attack and killed every human in Zion, deliberately leaving all the equipment intact (even repairing all the hovercrafts) for the next generation. The anomaly of The One – the first man with the power to destroy the Matrix – was in fact not killed but captured by the Architect and used to re-insert the Matrix program, reloading it to an earlier time (a bit over a century to be exact), giving all the living humans new memories and new lives. The One chose humans who would exit the Matrix and rebuild Zion, deliberately continuing the resistance in order to take out all the threatening humans (including the next One) out of the Matrix and into Zion – and then wiping them out once again. Once again they reloaded the Matrix and having the new One rebuild Zion and the resistance. This cycle was to be repeated indefinitely to ensure that the Matrix remained mostly devoid of the rebellious humans and most importantly, of the One. This cycle repeated itself five times, until the Oracle saw something different in the future. She foresaw that they would be unable to repress the human minds indefinitely.

With each cycle they grew stronger, and that the next One, the most powerful yet, might refuse to co-operate, destroying the entire Matrix and cause the extinction of both humanity and the machines. She knew that if she genuinely helped the new One, she could save both humanity and the machine world, and unite them together in peace. The final battle Edit She hid this new plan from the Architect, and secretly guided the new One, named Neo , to a path that would end the war and enable the humans to make peace with the machines. Thanks to her, Neo managed to save both humanity and the machines from a dangerous program that managed to infect the entire Matrix. This program, called Agent Smith , was once the greatest of the sentient search programs, but after getting defeated by Neo it was disconnected from its control system, and chose to turn against its master and wanted to take control of the entire Matrix and to rule everything, turning the simulated reality to a hellish nightmare. This program managed to overpower all the other programs and started spreading through the Matrix like a virus, copying itself unto other programs and people in the Matrix "possessing" their minds even in the real world.

This virus threatened to take control of the rest of the machine world as it did in the Matrix, so Neo made a deal with the AI – to stop their attack on Zion and declare peace with the humans if he stopped Smith. The machines had no other choice but to agree. Smith had grown beyond their control and the Matrix was facing a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to it – resulting in the extinction of both the human race and ultimately of the machine collective as well. Neo managed to stop Smith only at the cost of his own life. After putting up a valiant fight against Smith he managed to confuse and fool him into believing that he had broken and defeated Neo, then allowing himself to be assimilated by Smith. Neo's conscious mind provided the machines with a direct conduit to Smith's program, and they used this connection to eradicate Smith from within and free all humans and programs from him. Neo chose to sacrifice himself, taking into himself all the evil infesting the world in order to defeat it. Neo was the only one capable of doing it, because of his connection with Smith, being his exact opposite. Neo was the bridge that made it possible to destroy Smith.

He was the only one strong enough to withstand and channel the amount of energy that was needed long enough to eradicate Smith from every human and program before dying himself and severing the connection. Peace Edit Simultaneously Neo's code was disseminated and used to re-insert the prime program, reloading the Matrix, correcting all the errors and getting rid of all the remains of the virus, freeing all the humans and programs from the infestation. By sacrificing his own life, Neo managed to destroy this evil, and bring about genuine peace between humanity and the machines, with the power of his love. The machines agreed to let the humans travel between the real world and the world of the Matrix freely. They could now live in either world, it was their choice. Perhaps one day humanity as a whole would be aware of the existence of the Matrix. UNDERSTANDING THE MATRIX UNDERSTANDING THE MATRIX You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit holes goes You take the blue pill the story ends.

You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe ALL I'M OFFERING IS THE TRUTH, NOTHING MORE -MORPHEUS - THE MATRIX - All red pill takers follow me, all blue pill takers, use the exit in the top right hand corner. What is the Matrix? The matrix for starters is a movie trilogy that was released into theaters in March of 1999, with parts 2 &3 released in May and November of 2003. The Matrix has become one of my all time favorite movies. It's a very entertaining movie with tons of top notch special effects. My liking of the matrix is for plot, the information and how the information fits in with the entertainment. WHAT IS THE MATRIX ABOUT? The plot deals with humanity being taken over by Artificial Intelligent Machines. A small group of humans have been in a battle against the machines to reclaim earth and reality. The Machines have destroyed the real world, and created a simulation of the real world that only exist in the minds of those who are plugged into the Matrix. The matrix is the name of the simulated world. Those who have not been freed from the Matrix, believes everything they see, do, touch and feel is real.

There remains one human city where the Machines haven't conquered. This city is located deep underground and is called by the name of Zion. Those who are freed or unplugged from the Matrix, reside in the city of Zion. This is what the movie is about in short. The matrix is a movie FILLED WITH symbolism. This was the first thing I notice upon my first viewing. The symbolic meaning of Characters and plot's immediately let me know the person who created this movie, has some understanding. In today's Hollywood, many movies secretly Use symbolism that speaks about biblical topics. What I've notice about those movies and the matrix is this. The truth in the matrix has nothing to do with doctrine of any religious organization. The matrix has symbolic and hidden messages that come directly from the scriptures. In most movies today with biblical themes are told from the Christian perspective of scripture. Movies such as THE PROPHECY, CONSTANTINE END OF DAYS are heavily influence by Christianity. Not so with the Matrix. In this lesson / article I will examine a few DEEP CONCEPTS within the original matrix movie. By deep I'm referring to those things which is not known by the Billions of bible scholars and readers.

Before we get into the lesson, I have to bring out some recent developments concerning the writing of the Movie. When I first watched the Matrix, one of the things that stuck out to me was, the amount of Hebrew (black) Characters in key roles. Then once I view the symbolism with understanding, I said to myself and others. "THIS MOVIE HAD TO BE WRITTEN BY A BLACK PERSON WITH UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURES". Within the last couple of years, information has surfaced stating a Hebrew Sister is the original author of the Matrix. Her name is Sophia Steward (pictured), she is a writer and author. She is also known as the Mother of the Matrix Sophia is suing the Director's of the matrix along with the Producer and Movie Studio. You can read more about her at: Mother of the Matrix In an Interview she gave in 2004, she stated the does have deeper meaning associated with it. She goes on to say she studied these deeper meanings for years. There is an excerpt from the interview. Playahata.com: Well, the Wachowski brothers have yet to answer your lawyers legal challenges and since they donï¿½t do interviews regarding The Matrix you pretty much have free reign until the trial starts?

Sophia Stewart: This idea that they donï¿½t do interviews is crazy, when have you ever heard of such a thing, This is one of the hottest movies of all time and they just donï¿½t want to talk about it. They canï¿½t talk about what they donï¿½t understand, these high concepts that I have laid out which came from years of study Sophia Stewart: When you read "The Third Eye", you will see it's all one story. You have to understand I am very subtle with the way I write, I work on the subliminal Once I show you some of the hidden meanings of the Matrix, it won't be a stretch to say we are on to something here, the author of the movie says there are deeper meanings with in it. Now let's see what the Matrix is telling us. I choose to do this lesson, because I've notice and others have to. That I often mention this movie when I'm doing lessons. I don't think there has been any lesson I did at our Chicago Shabbat Class where I haven't mention something about the Matrix in one form or another. We are a visual people, many of us have to see things visually to believe it.

The matrix is a great visual expression of some scriptural truth. Don't think this is a waste of time, it's not. Learn how to read the signs around you, pay attention. ____________________________________________________________________________ CAST OF CHARACTERS (The Two major Characters in the Matrix actually have a dual meaning associated with them, we will explore the good and the bad of these Character) MORPHEUS - The Good. He Represents A Father Figure, Righteous Israelite Leader. In the Evil he Represents Nimrod. NEO - Represents a hearer of the truth who leaves all for the sake of truth. In the Evil he Represents the anti-messiah / Son of Nimrod, THE ONE who would come before Yahoshua makes his second appearance. TRINITY - MOTHER GODDESS. ORACLE - The word of Prophecy, and Wisdom TANK & DOZIER - Represents righteous Israelite Soldiers Cipher - Traitor, One who falls away from the truth, Judas type. AGENTS - Represents Demons, Evil soldiers of the System. ____________________________________________________________________________ 1. THE ISRAELITES ARE A BLACK SKINNED PEOPLE. GENUINE CHILD OF ZION. SCENE - Neo Is meeting the Operator Tank for the First time.

Tank - I'm tank, I'll be your operator Neo - You don't have any.... Tank - Holes? Nope me and My brother Dozier are 100% pure old fashion home grown Humans born free in the real world. GENUINE CHILD OF ZION. Tank and his brother Dozier are black, and Tank said they are Genuine Children of Zion. In this movie as will be explained in father detail. The City of Zion was the last human city of refuge, it was protected from the machines (the wilderness). In scripture Zion is one of the names for the Children of Israel. Isaiyah 49:14 But Zion said, YAH hath forsaken me, and my Master hath forgotten me. Psalms 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in YAH your Mighty One: .......................... Scriptures shows us without doubt, Zion was a name for the Israelites. Genuine means "ORIGINAL AND REAL" .

When Tank tells Neo him and his brother who are both black are Genuine (Original, Real) Children of Zion. He is saying they are Original True Israelites. Tank didn't say he was an original ZION -ITE because he was born in that city, No he was born in the real world, Outside of Zion. He was born a natural Israelite. 2. THE CITY OF ZION, THE WILDERNESS, PLACE OF SAFETY. SCENE - CONTINUED FROM THE ABOVE SCENE. Neo - Zion? Tank - If the war was over tomorrow Zion would be the place where the Party would be. Neo - It's a City? Tank - The Last human city, the only place we have left. Neo - Where is it? Tank - Deep Underground. The hidden city of Zion, spoken of in the Matrix is actually what's called the Wilderness in scripture. The city of Zion was the last human city, it was a place of safety that was protected against the Machines. Those who were freed from the Matrix lived in the city of Zion. The wilderness spoken of in scripture is a truth that not many know about or understand. There will soon come a time on earth where Satan will be cast to the earth realm forever.

When this happen, he will make a great war against those Israelites and righteous Gentiles who keep the Commandments of Yah and have the Testimony of Yahoshua (Messianic Hebrews). Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. The woman represents the True Hebrew Israelites, the man child represents Yahoshua the messiah Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The Wilderness is a place Yah the most high has created, to protect his people during the time of Satan's wrath. The adversary will be unable to reach those who are in the wilderness.

The wilderness will be the place of refuge from the war Satan will make against the righteous Israelite believers in Messiah. In the Matrix the city of Zion was the place of refuge from the war against the wicked Machines. It's not by any chance or coincidence that the place of safety is called Zion. As we just discussed, this was one of the names of the Children of Israel. It was also the name of a Mount and name for the land of Israel. In the second Matrix movie, they showed the inside of the city of Zion. One of the first things I notice was the city was heavily populated with Hebrews (blacks). This was also noted by film critic Roger Ebert. This is what he said in his review of the Matrix Reloaded (part 2). "I became aware, during the film, that a majority of the major characters were played by African Americans.

Neo and Trinity are white, and so is Agent Smith, but consider Morpheus; his superior Commander Lock ( Harry Lennix ); the beautiful and deadly Niobe ( Jada Pinkett Smith), who once loved Morpheus and now is with Lock, although she explains enigmatically that some things never change; the programmer Link (Harold Perrineau); Link's wife, Zee (Nona Gaye), who has the obligatory scene where she complains he's away from home too much, and the Oracle (the late Gloria Foster , very portentous). From what we can see of the extras, the population of Zion is largely black." The reason the city of Zion was largely black, is because it's showing you who the true Israelites are, then it's showing you what Scripture says about the wilderness.

Roger Ebert goes on to say; "The Wachowski brothers use so many African Americans, I suspect, not for their box-office appeal, because the Matrix is the star of the movie, and not because they are good actors (which they are), but because to the white teenagers who are the primary audience for this movie, African-Americans embody a cool, a cachet, an authentic." Authenticity also means REAL and Genuine, there is a deeper meaning and reason for the use of so many Hebrews in this movie. Roger Ebert can sense something is here but he can't get a full hold of it, because he doesn't have eyes to see it. In the wilderness Yah will nourish and protect Israel. Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel speaks of this nourishment and protection in the wilderness. Isaiah 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of YAH, and the excellency of our Mighty One. 10 And the ransomed of YAH shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Ezekiel 34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. As I stated the wilderness is not a subject, many bible readers have an understanding of. With that being one of the hidden messages shown in this movie, lets us know somebody with some knowledge of this, wrote the matrix. To read more about the wilderness and what scripture has to say about it read the lesson INTO THE WILDERNESS. 3. FREEING THE MINDS OF THOSE IN THE MATRIX BY THE ONES OUTSIDE OF ZION, (THE WILDERNESS).

Scripture is clear that when Satan begins the war against the true Israelites, not all Israel will make it to the wilderness, many will be "left behind.". This is who Morpheus and the crew of his ship the Nebuchaznezzar represents. They are those who are outside the place of safety and outside of the Matrix. They are the ones left behind to free the minds of those still plugged into the false system. The ones who don't make it to the place of safety (wilderness) will feel the fullness of Satan war. Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YAH, and have the testimony of YAHOSHUA THE MESSIAH. Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Morpheus and crew was at war with the false system called the Matrix. This war was fought for the minds of the people The prophet Daniel speaks about this same time period mention in Revelation 12 & 13.

He tells us about the brethren left behind to teach and free the minds of the people. Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know YAH shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. The war that will take place against the adversary in these last days, was shown to you in the Matrix. All the way down to the fact, this war will be a guerilla war. Morpheus and crew came into the matrix, to free the minds and go. They didn't stay around, it was hit and run.

Those righteous Hebrews, who don't make the wilderness will have to hide, and come out only to instruct / teach those who are in the false system (Matrix). 4. HARD TO BELIEVE AND ACCEPT THE TRUTH SCENE - Morpheus is explaining to Neo what the Matrix is MORPHEUS - What is the matrix? The matrix is a computer generated dream world, that turns humans into batteries. NEO - No, No, I don't believe it, it's not possible MORPHEUS - I didn't say it would be easy Neo. I just said it would be the truth. NEO - Stop Let me out, I want out........ Coming out of decades of darkness and into the light can be very hard for many to accept. Even after being shown what the truth is, it takes a moment for it to sink in. After being told what the matrix was neo had a hard time believing the only world he knew, the only world he could see, was not real.

For many of us, learning or being told and shown, Jesus is not GOD, Sunday is not the proper day of worship, we can't eat pork, or catfish, Christianity is not true, we are not gentiles, Was hard to accept but the #1 shocker for many coming into the truth is, THE ISRAELITES ARE AND WERE A BLACK PEOPLE, AND THE BLACK PEOPLE OF THE WEST ARE DESCENDANTS OF THEM. The truth is such a big change from the lie, it can be hard to accept. We see this within the matrix. The truth is a hard pill to swallow. John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it see him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwell with you, and shall be in you. 5. CAN'T GO BACK AFTER COMING INTO THE TRUTH SCENE - Morpheus explaining to Neo about freeing the mind NEO - I can't go back can I? MORPHEUS - NO, but if you could would you really want to? Sometimes the truth can appear so overwhelming that many would prefer to go back to the way they were. But you can't.

It's impossible to come into the knowledge of Yah and Yahoshua and continue to live your life of ignorance. In the beginning of your walk, some of the old ways are hard to get rid of. It's pain for many, but when you begin to see more of the truth, and when you begin to get a greater understanding then, the though of turning back becomes stupid. In the matrix as Neo began to learn more of the truth, the stronger he became. The more we learn about Yah, the stronger we should become. Once we have the full understanding of YAH, there should be no turning back. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, The Matrix Revolutions (2003) The Matrix Revolutions (2003) The Matrix Trilogy - Part 3 The Matrix Revolutions (2003) d.

Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski, 135 minutes Film Plot Summary -- (Continuation of previous film) Comatose Neo (Keanu Reeves) was lying on a medical table in the ship The Hammer, directly across from the "only one" who survived a massacre at Zion. He was a suspected traitor: Bane/Agent Smith (Ian Bliss). It was thought that Neo, who was not "plugged in," might be in The Matrix. Meanwhile, the underground city of Zion was again being threatened within 20 hours (by midnight) by another attack of tunneling machines and Sentinels. Neo found himself at the 'Mobil Ave' subway-train station [mobil=anagram for limbo] - "trapped in a place between this world and the Machine world" - in the place where programs were smuggled into and out of the Matrix. He learned from an Indian family (Rama-Kandra and wife Kamala, both programs) and their beloved program-daughter Sati (Tanveer K.

Atwal) that the Trainman (Bruce Spence), employed by the French Merovingian (Lambert Wilson), controlled whether he could leave ("Down here, I'm God"). Trinity and Morpheus met with the Oracle (Mary Alice), (changed in appearance in exhange for Merovingian's permission to smuggle Sati undetected into the Matrix), the "mother" of the Matrix, who confirmed that Neo's "link is controlled by a program called the Trainman." To free Neo, they met with the Merovingian, who was dining at Club Hel, and were offered a swap: Neo, for "the eyes of the Oracle." Trinity refused the offer and the stand-off ended with Neo's release, signaled by an arriving train carrying lover Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). Neo also visited with the Oracle asking: "Tell me just what the hell is happening to me" - she revealed that his powers were manifested because he was connected to the Source, the Machine City's mainframe. She expressed how she wanted the war to end "one way or another" and also forecast: "I see the end coming, I see the darkness spreading.

I see death." Only Neo could save the future of both worlds (the Machine City and the Matrix), by standing up to all-powerful Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) who "won't stop until there's nothing left at all." The Oracle described Smith to Neo: "He is you. Your opposite, your negative." After Neo left, multiple Agent Smiths (he was now able to replicate himself indefinitely) arrived and took over the Oracle, taking her powers of precognition as he assimilated himself into her. To accommodate Neo's need for a hovercraft to carry out his mission, Niobe (Jada Pinkett Smith) gave him her ship the Logos, to travel to Machine City with Trinity. As part of their overall military strategy to save Zion from a machine invasion, Niobe (with Morpheus as her co-pilot) planned to navigate back to Zion in the Hammer craft through a complex series of back tunnels, avoiding Sentinels (or "squids"). On board Neo's ship, Bane revealed himself as Agent Smith and then during a struggle blinded Neo by cauterizing his eyes with a spliced electrical cable.

Neo could still "see" Bane/Smith ("I can see you") as orangish light and killed him by decapitating him with a crow-bar, although Bane warned: "It's not over, Mr. Anderson." Neo was able to sense AI intelligences as fiery objects, when they navigated on to the 'scorched-earth' Machine City - but they were overwhelmed by Sentinels and lost power in an electrical storm. When they crash-landed, Trinity lost her life and gave Neo one last kiss before expiring. Meanwhile, Zion was readying the defense of its dome and outside docks with giant robotic Armored Personnel Units (APUs) loaded with bombs, led by Captain Mifune (Nathaniel Lees), who valiantly fought but lost his life against giant drilling machines in the monumental conflict. Gate 3 was opened just in time to allow Niobe's craft to enter and disperse the Sentinels with EMP (but with disastrous consequences for Zion's resources) - until the next wave of the assault.

Neo bargained with the Deus ex Machina, the Machine's intelligence, for peace (an end to fighting in Zion) in exchange for fighting against and eliminating once and for all the rogue program Smith. He warned: "The program Smith has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city as he spread through the Matrix. You cannot stop him. But I can..." Neo was connected to the Matrix while he fought a monumental battle against Smith, who claimed he could already foresee his victory (with his newfound powers of precognition that he had appropriated from the Oracle): "You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting...This is my world. My world!...Wait, I've seen this. This is it. This is the end...Everything that has a beginning has an end, Neo." The Oracle was speaking those words through Smith. [Note: This was the first instance that Smith called him Neo rather than Mr. Anderson.] When Smith feared it was a trick, Neo replied: "You were right, Smith. You were always right. It was inevitable." Neo tricked Smith into letting him 'unbalance the equation' - by letting Smith win, and accepting his own 'end'.

Smith assimilated Neo with a punch to his mid-section and then asked: "Is it over?" - Neo/Smith agreed with a nod. Neo's plugged-in body, back in Machine City, glowed a golden color as it surged in energy that turned to a bright white light - destructively blasting all the Smiths into nothingness, as Smith complained: "It's not fair." The Machines had gained control of Smith through Neo's jacked-in body - and destroyed him. The Source confirmed Smith's deletion: "It is done." Neo was taken away by the machines to assimilate his code into the mainframe. Conditions returned to normality - the Zion war ended ("the war is over"), peace came as the Sentinels withdrew, and the Oracle and Sati were restored within a world devoid of green tint (the sun was shining in a blue sky over the city).

The film ended with a short discussion between the Oracle and the Architect (Helmut Bakaitis), the creator of the Matrix, who said: "You played a very dangerous game." She replied: "Change always is." He begrudgingly promised that "the others" (humans who were still plugged in) who wanted out of the Matrix "will be freed." Sati, a child born in the Matrix, made a beautiful sunrise for Neo, reformulating the Matrix as she saw fit. The Oracle declared with the film's final line that she didn't know what would happen: "Oh no, no I didn't. But I believed. I believed."
