Pt.II "Manifestations Of The Matrix"
(Cold Beer & Remote Control)
Of course, I don’t believe that our planet was taken over by machines in the future (but then again, who knows? – Ha, just kidding!). However, the Bible – the one Book which might deserve the title “The Anti-Matrix” already stated 2000 years ago that this world is being governed by “rulers of darkness”, “spiritual wickedness in high places”, “the god of this world” who “appears as an angel of light” to deceive its inhabitants. In fact, the god of this world was the very bearer of the light of God before pride caused him to fall, &, according to the Bible, one third of God’s sons, the angels, followed him & they have been given temporary rulership over this earth, ever since mankind decided to believe their lies, rather than God’s truth. (Eph. 6:12; 2.Cor.4:4 & 11:14; Rev.12:4; Luk.4:5,6)
This is manifested ever so clearly in popular lies which men have embraced as cornerstones of their science, such as Darwin’s theory of Evolution. How absurd this theory is, & yet firmly believed by the majority of the world’s “educated elite” is a subject which would fill books (such as James Perloff’s “Tornado In A Junkyard”), but let it suffice it here to say that, if the Earth & all its species would have really “evolved” over millions of years, this world would exceed its present population billions of times, we would be up to our necks in fossils of fishes with legs & countless other “missing links” of transitional creatures inbetween developing stages of species & we would all be toast, because at the rate the sun is shrinking it would have been so big a million years ago that no life at all would have ever come into being on an extremely hot planet Earth… Another manifestation of the mind control of the rulers of the darkness of this world’s mind control over our fellowmen is evidenced in people’s rejection of the One Who could free them from their misery: Having been conditioned to accept wealthy, successful, strong & force-displaying characters as their rulers, people reject the idea of having a poor, persecuted & crucified carpenter for their leader, especially in the “light” of the fact that His “followers” are some of the most corrupt & hypocritical bunch this world has ever seen. “Infiltration” has been the name of the game for the “lightbearer” & his followers from the beginning, according to their motto “If you can’t lick’em, join’em!”. And, inhabiting the wealthiest elements of society, the necessary “small change” has never been lacking to make sure that feeble followers of Christ would all too easily abandon radical Christian teaching & action, but rather settle for an easy & comfortable life within the Matrix, thus incessantly conveying the message to the world that “you can be a follower of jesus Christ & still be a slave of the System”. No wonder that Jesus Himself announced that He would “spue out” of His mouth those kind of pretending “followers” of His (and if the word “spue” doesn’t ring a bell, how about its modern counterpart, “puke”). (Rev.3:16)
Accordingly, the 3rd manifeston of the Matrix is the fact that Christ’s true believers & followers have always, like Himself, remained a small, persecuted & slandered minority, from the early days of Rome until today, and you can bet your behind that today’s most dedicated true followers are labeled a “dangerous sect”, possibly so dangerous that attempts are made to completely ban & outlaw it in those countries which have been under the controlers tightest rule for centuries.
One last manifestation of the Matrix I will mention here – though, again, we could fill books writing about them, as its makers & others have – is the grande façade of what’s happening on the stage of world politics. Having artificially created 2 or more opposing sides for their little game of sports called politics, calling the competing teams names like “communists” and “fascists” (or hundreds of other names), all following agendae they (the creators of the game) themselves have provided them with, people are way too distracted to even consider looking behind the scenes, quite similar to the way people are absorbed by a football game on a tv screen. All that interests them is the guys chasing the ball, not the machinery behind the screen which creates the image… As long as the viewer has a can of beer in one & a remote control in the other hand, he is perfectly satisfied & doesn’t really care whether it’s an illusion or whether there are people starving somewhere else. In fact, I dare claim that these are probably the 2 single most powerful weapons of the Matrix’ creators to keep their slaves satisfied: COLD BEER & REMOTE CONTROL !
