Singer John Rich wrote “Revelation” to counter “satanic” content

Country music star John Rich said God inspired him to write the song “Revelation” to counter “satanic” content promoted by the mainstream media. Rich, a multiplatinum artist and half of the duo Big & Rich, told Tucker Carlson that the prophecies of the Apostle John inspired his latest single.

“I was at home in Nashville, not even thinking about writing a song, when suddenly it felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head,” Rich said. “When the Lord slaps you upside the head with something, you have a physical reaction to it. The message I felt coming back to me was, ‘Take it all the way to the mat.’”

Rich, 50, said he felt led to write the song dealing with the return of Christ, drawing heavily from biblical themes, particularly Ephesians 6:12: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

“Oh, Revelation, I can feel it coming, like a dark train running / Oh, get ready ’cause the king is coming/  the king is coming back again,” according to the chorus.

He had the message applies today as mainstream media and entertainment continue to promote satanic themes.

“When you watch the Super Bowl halftime show or the Grammy Awards, you see them putting satanic symbolism right in your face,” he said. “They are practicing witchcraft on the stage right in front of you. You’re watching a football game or an award show with your kids, and now evil is coming straight at you. We’ve all seen this. Somebody has to counter that.”

The music video of Rich’s latest song also dramatizes the battle between the Archangel Michael and Satan, as described in Revelation 12. Rich, whose father was a pastor, also stressed that the war is spiritual.

“The real war is not Trump and Biden; the real war is not left and right, and the real war is not a culture war,” he said. ““When God says about himself, ‘I am the same yesterday, today and forever, my word does not change,’ “We change, culture changes, the world changes, but he doesn’t. So, however he dealt with things all the way back to the beginning of the written word is exactly how he’s going to deal with them now and into the future. That is something people don’t want to come to grips with.”
