The hull of their ship bears a plate reading
"Mark III
No. 11". Mark
3:11 reads, "Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down
before him and shouted, 'You are the Son of God!'"4.
This clip is in the movie for less then a second but has a
strong religious impact and follows the theme of Neo as Christ.Neo and Trinity are shown making love beneath an arch. In religious iconography, being shown beneath an arch is a traditional sign of divinity.9
Neo's own gift of prophecy is explainable by the fact that, like the Oracle (the Gnostic Sophia, or Holy Wisdom—the female Godhead), he comes from beyond the Matrix—that is, the world—and thus exists outside of time, much like God in St. Augustine's theology.9
Neo's name in the Matrix, before he is saved, is Thomas Anderson.- The name "Thomas" can be linked to "Doubting Thomas", in that Neo never really believed that he was The One. "Anderson" is a play on "Son of Man", where the 'Ander-' finds its origins in the New Testament Greek root 'andros' meaning man. Christ was often referred to as the "Son of Man". "Neo" means "new" (And that's exactly WHY Neo was there - to make things "new", to bring about a new world order). "Neo" Anderson = New Son of Man.3

This
quote is taken from Copeland’s Matrix page (Reference #3) and picks up on many
things in the first scene alone which I hadn’t made any connection with being
religious or prophesizing.
“And
consider this dialogue when Choi and DeJour come to Neo's apartment (apartment #101, no
less!). Italicized dialogue shows pertinent pieces of dialogue that forshadows
what is to come:
Neo:
What? What the hell?... Follow the white rabbit?... (knock, knock) Who is it?
Choi: It's Choi.
Neo: Yeah. Yeah. You're two hours late.
Choi: I know, it's her fault.
Neo: Got the money?
Choi: Two grand. [$2000? Perhaps
relavant to Christ being 2000 years old?]
Neo: Hold on.
Choi: Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ.
Neo: You get caught using that...
Choi: Yeah, I know. This never happened. You don't exist.
Neo: Right.
Choi: Something wrong, man? You look a little whiter than usual.
Neo: My computer, it... You ever have that feeling where you're not
sure if you're awake or still dreaming?
Choi: Mm, all the time. It's called Mescaline. It's the only way to fly. Hey,
it just sounds to me like you need to unplug, man. You know, get
some R and R. What do you think, DuJour? Shall we take him with us?
DuJour: Definitely.
Neo: I can't, I have work tomorrow.
DuJour: Come on, It'll be fun. I promise.
Neo: Yeah, sure, I'll go.”
