Pro-Trump country singer John Rich is out with a new hit song, “Revelation,” about the Bible’s Revelations.
Speaking with Tucker Carlson this week, he said he was inspired to write the song after he experienced a revelation of his own while sitting at his home in Nashville last November.
“I was not thinking about writing a song about anything, and out of nowhere, it felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head: Boom!” he said. “Like, what is this? What is going on? What’s this feeling? And this melody and these lyrics? Oh, revelation!”
He believes the inspiration for the song came straight from God.
“You know, when he hits you, you know it,” he said. “You cannot mistake when the Lord slaps you upside the head with something. You have a physical reaction to it. I do. I have a physical reaction to it. It does not happen very often. It’s a very rare occurrence.”

One of the most downloaded songs in America is about the book of Revelation. John Rich says he channeled the entire thing from God.

But Rich knew he needed to do more than just write a song.
“As I’m walking around listening to it and the hairs raising up on my arms, I remember looking out the window, and I looked up and I went, what do you want me to do with this?” he recalled. “And the message I felt coming back to me was take it all the way to the mat.”
“Meaning make the audio as great as you can with your skill set, make the video as compelling as you possibly can, and when you get those things done, tell as many people as you can. Slam it out there with no fear, as hard as you possibly can, and let this thing be heard. That is your job. Go do it,” he added.

The song is now reportedly one of the top downloads in the country, right up there next to Eminem’s disturbing new album.
“It’s battling people like Eminem, who I looked up his record just to see what Eminem is doing,” Rich said. “One of the titles on his record is just called evil, one is called Lucifer, and one is called Antichrist. How crazy is that?”
“And so I see Eminem and ‘Revelation.’ Of course, he’s got the entire machine behind him. I don’t have anybody. I don’t have any, you know, any physical machine behind me,” he added.
His point was that his song was performing so well despite mainstream institutions backing him. He continued by arguing outright that mainstream institutions prefer promoting demonic/Satanic garbage instead of biblically motivated content like his.
“When you watch the Super Bowl halftime show, or you watch the Grammy Awards, or you watch some of these big concerts of music videos where they are putting satanic symbolism right in your face, they are practicing witchcraft on the stage right in front of you,” he said.
“You’re watching a football game or an award show and with your kids, and now whammo, straight evil coming straight at you,” he added.

The song itself, Rich said, is about this very battle between good and evil.
“In this song and in this video, what it is talking about is what the real war is,” he explained. “The real war is not Trump and Biden. The real war is not left and right. The real war is not culture war. It says in Ephesians. We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers and the rulers of spiritual darkness of this earth, of this world.”
“That is the battle. That’s the real battle. And in the Bible it says you can’t see that because there’s a thin veil between the physical and the spiritual, what’s going on just on the other side of the veil. But when you read Daniel and you read ‘Revelation,’ it says at some point that veil will be torn, which my song talks about that,” he added.
His song, he continued, focuses on that exact moment when the veil is torn. That’s why the music video for the song begins with the Devil and Michael the Archangel appearing through separate portals in Tennessee.
“He [the Archangel] comes walking straight towards the devil, and I’m standing in the middle — I’m humanity,” Rich explained. “And here’s evil and here’s righteousness. And they are about to clash. And the point of that is to put into people’s mind a representation of what is spiritual warfare.”
