The music video for “Revelation” brings these themes to life, featuring a dramatic portrayal of the battle between the Archangel Michael and Satan, as described in Revelation 12. The Bible passage states, “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
The video concludes with a poignant display of Revelation 12:10-11, which reads, “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
In a behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Revelation,” Rich, who is the son of a preacher, reflected on the unique impact of the song. “There’s never been a song like this song,” he asserted, highlighting the song’s unprecedented nature.
Rich also noted that many of the prophetic elements described in Revelation, which seemed hard to grasp even a few decades ago, have become more comprehensible in today’s context. He pointed specifically to the “mark of the beast” from Revelation 13, which the Antichrist uses to signify allegiance, allowing people to buy or sell. “People wondered how it would be possible to track everyone in the entire world and enforce such a decree prior to the internet and smartphones. Now, we are all too accustomed with the fact … not only can you track everybody, they do track everybody,” Rich explained.
Additionally, Rich and others observe current events in the Middle East, noting global alignment against Israel as further evidence of approaching end times. Revelation 16 and 19 describe Christ’s return to earth, leading forces to defeat the Antichrist’s army at the Battle of Armageddon in Israel.

Rich recounted the inspiration behind the song, describing it as a sudden, divine insight. “This song hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t setting out to write it. The Boss just kind of slammed it into the back of my head, and I put pen to paper and there it was. And I feel like the messenger of something important right now,” he shared.
“The point of this song … is to remind true Christians who they are and where they stand and give them some courage. No. 2, for the lost out there, I hope this song brings conviction to them, to their heart, and for the truly wicked out there, I hope it scares them half to death, because their fate has been sealed, it’s been written from 2,000 plus years ago.”
Rich concludes his powerful message with a warning and a promise: “The king is coming and it won’t be long.” This compelling single is sure to resonate deeply with listeners and spark reflection on the profound themes it addresses.
