Jesus said on the Mount of Olives (Matt. 24) that deception would be the primary cultural sign of the last days. Even some of God’s “elect” might be deceived by false theologies. “Good would be called evil and evil good” (Isaiah 5:20). Men would substitute light for darkness and darkness for light.

(CHRISTIANITY TODAY) — Spoiler alert! This article contains spoilers for not only The Hunger Games movie (opening this week), but the entire book trilogy.
