Bible Predicts The Matrix

matrix_smithDream Theater quotesWell, not really, but I just re-watched The Matrix so it’s fresh on the brain… and today I came across a surprising Bible verse in a wallpaper… of all places. Isaiah 54:16 KJV says “Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.” Of course the Agent Smith character is the antagonist of the Matrix movies… and for someone who always wears the same demi-Amish attire he’s got a lot of style.

Anyways, these 1600×1200 images of love both come from DT-Extreme, a website actually devoted to fan art of the band Dream Theater (one of my absolute favs). If you’re a DT fan you can find a myriad of wallpapers and mix CD covers of great quality here. And… occasionally you can even find a good Matrix wallpaper with scripture on it. ;-) That’s the one on the left. The one on the right features many lines of lyrics from various DT songs across their many albums. Enjoy.

    not agent smith. the verse after that says:

    17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper

    intersting idea though

    They reference that verse in Reloaded- look closely at Smith’s license plate as he drives up to where the meeting is: IS5416. Quite good.

    well i’m not sure if you still read this blog but it means a lot and compares in many ways to the bible. Neo which is greek for “new” or “one” and Anderson Which is greek for “Son Of Man” (Ander= Man, Son=son). Neo carries many similiar traits of the biblical Jesus Christ or a “Born Again” man. Notice that he went through a transformation(Rom 2:12) before becoming a new man. he was unplugged from the world(Rom 2:12) and served the purpose of unplugging many others, while at the same time resisting the enemy. Its very metaphorical!
