Survivor One World Has Me Thinking One Thing

Survivor One World Has Me Thinking One Thing
You just can't make this stuff up.

Case in point, the details surrounding the 24th season of the hit TV Reality Show Survivor set to premiere on February 15th, 2012.

Let's just say it fits with all the other themes we've been exploring lately (and expecting for 2012).

'Survivor: One World': New Cast And New Twists Revealed!

Survivor: One World is the twenty-fourth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor, which will premiere on February 15, 2012. Unlike previous seasons where tribes lived at separate camp sites, the two tribes will be living at the same camp together. While the concept of two tribes living at the same camp also appeared in Survivor: Thailand, Survivor: Palau, and Survivor: Fiji, this is the first time it was employed at the beginning of the game for an indefinite amount of time. The two tribes will also be divided into men and women, which was previously done in Survivor: The Amazon and Survivor: Vanuatu.

As for the contestants, early attention will surely be on Leif Manson, Survivor's first little person. "It's great because he's a fan of the show," says Probst. "He wants to be out there and he's well aware that this is a show in which any difference can get you voted out, and he comes with a very clear physical difference - he's half the size of anybody else." Of course, no Survivor is complete without a villain, and Probst says this season's baddie comes in the form of gay Republican Colton Cumbie. "He doesn't know it, but he is a full-on villain. He thinks he's the most charming guy ever. He's a devil and I don't even think he's disguised."

Seriously? Seriously.

Given the Antichrist themes we've been studying a lot lately, how incredibly bizarre is it that one of American Pop Culture's most popular TV shows is not only named 'One World' for the first time ever, but it also will feature the first 'little person' contestant ever?

I mean, how can that not evoke specific Scriptural thoughts and get us to recall some key prophetic verses about the end times?

Daniel 7:8 (KJV) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Daniel 7:11 (KJV) I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Daniel 7:20 (KJV) And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Daniel 8:9 (KJV) And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

My gosh! Even Probst's reference to the devil fits too nicely here. Just unreal, isn't it?

Needless to say, the spiritual war that's raging all around us continues to bleed through and into the real world showing up in places like this popular program. However, the blood of Jesus has already won the war for us.

Still, all of the info presented here today has me wondering about Satan's goal, which could be to continue to influence and use Hollywood and Pop Culture (just like he always has) to subconsciously suggest that we Christians have something to fear about the coming future with the implied question inherent in this season being: Who will 'survive' the coming 'One World' government and political system controlled by the Antichrist?

Like I said, we have nothing to fear because the war has already been one.
