»Bear with me here- Was the prophesy true?«

OK Guys, I can imagine you saying- "What an newbie; we've been through this allready". Im sure this has been explored before but I wanted to dedicate a separate post to it. Please don't mind.

So, was the prophesy true or not?

At the end of Reloaded Neo says something like-

"The prophesy was a lie; another form of control"

But, at the end of Revolutions, the One did end the war after a peace bargain with the Machine God.

So was it true?

The prophecy,fake-war,and Zion are all a part of the control. Its purpose is to quarantine "those who refuse the program" (this has been debated much...but I call "those" as "anomalies"). It also facilitates the function of the One returning to the source.

The Prophecy is not always true..."his coming would HAIL THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MATRIX, and end the war"... The war ended, but the matrix was NOT destroyed. If u want a detailed explanation goto these threads

but he wasnt MEANT to end the war. so the whole thing was bullshit.

Ok, got it. Thanks a lot.

You're forgetting about choice. The prophecy was a lie. But there was no reason that they couldn't make the events it fortold true.

Like Niobe said when she was asked if she believed in the prophesy: "I still don't. But I believe in him." (or something like that)

Neo did what he thought was right. And in taking that chance, believeing in it enough, he managed to save Zion.

There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Exactly - even the Oracle didn't expect this, no one did. But she was hoping it would.

The phropecy was true but it was no good to humans.It was another form of control.Machines made it up to prevent the One from destroying the Matrix.For more information, read my 6th theory.But it lacks somethings about Smith and his existence's purpose.But it was added by others.

I think that the prophecy came true... The war ended - that's what Oracle promised...
Morpheus says that the One will destroy the Matrix, but Oracle never says that...
