Country Star's Warning Hits Back at 'Confusion, Delusion...Wickedness'

Country star John Rich has been pointing people to the Book of Revelation, using his musical talents to highlight Scripture's most complex eschatological text. Rich released the eponymous "Revelation" earlier this year after spending time "watching the way the world's going, the way our country's going" and finding himself compelled to speak out. The singer recently spoke with CBN News about how chaotic events in America and around the globe have got him thinking deeper about theological matters. "I think we've all been thinking about that, but I really didn't set out to write a specific song about it," Rich said. "It just kind of came out of nowhere. It was kind of downloaded to me." Rich said the words started popping into his head, and he quickly wrote them down, finishing the song in about an hour. "I tell people it's really not lyrics; it's really scripture that I just made rhyme," he said. "Like I took what it says, and I figured out how to build that into what would be a song, and then I didn't really know what to do with it." Rich admitted he wasn't sure who would be interested in a song called "Revelation," but, as time progressed, he realized it's a tune that really hits on the uncertainty and chaos so many feel. "It became more and more apparent to me that the things that song was talking about — which is spiritual warfare — that there is a much bigger situation going on than Democrat, Republican, left, right," he said. "Much, much, much bigger, which we're told in scripture." Rich continued, "That's actually the truth of it — 'We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers.'" Watch him explain his views on spiritual warfare, the end times, and more. Want more news from a Christian Perspective? Choose to support CBN: https://go.cbn.com/ugWBn CBN News.
