These are just my thoughts. I'm not going to convince anyone of anything. Just think for yourself.
This post will be useful for those who watched the film The Matrix. The idea that I want to present is well disclosed there.
The more I think, the deeper the rabbit hole.
In the film The Matrix, the main character Neo is represented in the image of the messiah. In the image of Jesus, who must come and save everyone that religion teaches. But Neo, regardless of the choice, reboot the matrix, as Jesus once rebooted the matrix.
I connected the fall of powerful states with the reboot of the matrix. Egypt, Rome. All these states were powerful but they all fell. The matrix rebooted.
The task of the messiah is to reload the matrix, because people are not ready to become free. Religion teaches us to believe in the messiah, in the savior, but does not teach to wake up, and this is a dope of religion. Religion intoxicates and confuses. Religion does not teach people to wake up, instills infantilism in people and shifts all responsibility to the messiah.
Believe in the messiah and you will be saved through faith in him. But you will not be saved until you wake up and until you yourself want NOT to be a slave.
Jesus comes and does not save people from Roman slavery and should not. If he destroys all the slaveholders in the person of the Romans and leaves people “free,” he will not save them from slavery. Slaves will remain slaves because they are used to being slaves and do not want to do anything for themselves. Therefore, he performs the task of the messiah - restarts the matrix.
History repeats itself. And the messiah will switch the toggle until people wake up. Would people want to wake up?
And finally, an interesting fact: in the first part of the matrix, at the eighteenth minute of the film, Agent Smith looks at Neo's passport. On the passport is written the date of its end. September 11, 2001. And the film was shot in 1999. Perhaps this is the reboot date.
But... Think for yourself.
