MATRIX THEOLOGY Remember the Matrix? Neo, Trinity, Morpheus Wake up Neo Sometimes the world just doesnt feel right The Matrix Has You Someone Comes Along to introduce Neo to his imaginary world So what do you do? Welcome to Wonderland, Alice What is neos world? The system is a prison And you are really only this And you realize what you are in the world? The system Allegory of the matrix; what is the semi-real world we really live in? Who are you? Old style But why is this important? Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Video https://youtu.be/a6ruLMhNqSQ Who? NRSV: against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. KJV: against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. OJB: against basar vadahm (flesh and blood), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the choshech of the Olam Hazeh, against the kokhot ruchaniyim raim (evil spiritual forces) in Shomayim. WYC: against flesh and blood, but against [the] princes and potentates, against governors of the world of these darknesses, against spiritual things of wickedness, in heavenly things. NIV: against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Voice: against enemies of flesh and blood alone. No, this fight is against tyrants, against authorities, against supernatural powers and demon princes that slither in the darkness of this world, and against wicked spiritual armies that lurk about in heavenly places.

Col 2:15 (KJV) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col 2:15 (Amp) [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]. Literal or figurative? Lk 10:19 (KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Mounce) I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy; nothing may hurt you at all. Exousia: power, authority, rule, dominion Why do you need authority to step on a snake or scorpion?? Where is johns will? You think the sance that finds Johns will is innocent? The palm reader? The fortune teller? Reading your horoscope? Tarot card reading? Ouija board? In a spiritual world, do you think God is the only one watching you? What do you mean, Lost! Dear Christian What about those you bring to Jesus? Do you think they have a clue about the real world? They are in essence, early Neo. They now have a target on their back and no idea how to defend themselves! Are you taking responsibility?
