Just the other day I was visiting with a relative of mine who professes to be a Christian. He gave a glowing review of his experience in reading the entire trilogy of the The Hunger Games. In the last 15 yeas I have become hardened to the shock value of hearing such a confession. Just think of the millions of Christians who watched and read all the Harry Potter they could get their hands on. The Potter material was just a prolonged primer on witchcraft and the occultic arts.Think about the multitudes that flocked to the Twilight movies and read the books which were little more than a big dose of occult and vampire themes. We are being programmed for the coming Evil One, the end of days and the Great Tribulation. Our pulpits are more concerned with personal empires and "worship styles" than the signs of the times and the return of the King of Kings. There is an emphasis on the "purpose driven life" rather than prepared life waiting anxiously for the days just ahead.
I am not going to spend a lot of time elaborating on the Hunger Games because there has already been some really good work done on this present wicked series of books and movies. Here are some materials to catch you up just in case you missed the evil train.
The Hunger Games is just another attempt by the elite media to shape minds, through predictive programming, to accept the incredible days that lie before us. Here is an excellent article on the subject of predictive programming. I find it hard to accept that Christians are reading and watching such dangerous material. But I also find it hard to accept that so many Christians are asleep to the signs that are all around us that Christ's return is close at hand. The story of The Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic country called "Panem". Interestingly, that name means "bread and circuses". That is a fitting name considering modern day America exemplifies the bread and circus mentality. The Apostle Paul told a young Timothy what men would be like in the last days.

2 Timothy 3:12-14
King James Version (KJV)
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
So I must accept the reality that there will be no "coming to our senses" as a society. Men will "wax worse and worse" until the King returns. Until then we must be about His business of warning men and compelling them to come to Christ.
