I'm watching the Matrix

 

Morpheus's ship is named the Nebuchadnezzar…looked up who he was:

 

Here is one description…

 

King Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest and most powerful of all the Babylonia kings. His name means “Oh Nabu (a Babylonian god), protect my son (or my boundary), according to the New International Encyclopedia of Bible Characters.

 

The great and powerful king wrestled with his own sovereignty compared to the God of Israel through a series of dreams. He went from crown prince to king in 605-562 BC, the approximate time the Babylonian army captured Jerusalem, taking the prophet Daniel as one of the hostages. King Nebuchadnezzar’s path crossed both the prophets Daniel and Jeremiah in his lifetime, both who carried important messages for God’s people about the New Covenant (the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ). Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams also had many correlations to the book of Revelation, later penned by the apostle John. Our God is purposeful, weaving His authoritative hand throughout all of human history, including the life of this storied Babylonian king.

 

The exile of the Jews

 

“As the Lord had declared, Nebuchadnezzar removed all the treasures from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace, and took away all the gold articles that Solomon kind of Israel had made from the temple of the LORD. He carried into exile all Jerusalem: all the officers and fighting meant, and all the craftsmen and artisan - a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest people of the land were left” (2 Kings 24:13-14).

 

Nebuchadnezzar’s conquering of Jerusalem is an important part of the history of God’s people. He had been faithful to fulfill His covenant to them, but the people continued to rebel. Good Father that He is, the discipline for their constant waywardness was exile. Amidst the doom and gloom, the Weeping Prophet was called to deliver a glimmer of hope. Jeremiah prophesied of the New Covenant in the Book of Consolation (Jeremiah 30-33).

 

Though they would remain in exile for 70 years, upon their return, they would have hope to hold onto. Jeremiah 30:3 says, “’The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess.’”

 

Not only did God promise to bring them back, Jeremiah 31:33 says, “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” God would, again, faithfully lead them out of exile, not only physically, but spiritually through the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
