I think when Ronnie says, "Our gods abandoned us", he's speaking more as who society looks up to as "gods", not God himslef. It is that we put humans on a pedastal thinking they are our saviors, and thinking they are out for our best interests. When it comes down to them or us, they will abandon us. God will never abandon us. This is what is wrong with society as a whole. That is how I interpreted it. Ronnie is very good at metaphorically conveying his viewpoint while getting the conversations going. I"ve been a Christian my entire life, and am not offended by his imagery at all. I take the time to understand it. Nice commentary from you, thank you! 🔥❤️🤘
Beautiful commentary. Just to clarify, Ronnie doesn't believe in god and I don't at all think that's what this imagery is about. That said, the imagery I do not believe is intended to be blasphemous and I think you're right in that it's also definitely about our society and what we focus on. I'm not religious so for me there's no actual god aspect to it but I can appreciate your take on that for you. I get a feeling that in terms of him on the cross I think he's pointing to how he is constantly made the villain and a constant push and pull between those who admire him but he still feels hated. Only Ronnie could ever explain it but he does love for us to talk about how own interpretations. Glad to see so many of his religious fans not offended. I think we all know Ronnie's so deep and complex with his music and videos that there's always something to take from it in a good way.
@DarlaAnne I may correct you a bit. He has said on stream he only has issues with organized religion. He has a lot of lyrics that involves praying. Especially on the last album from around 2017. First that comes to mind is Brother.
@@LeperMessiah2 He used to be a Christian. Those songs are older. Brother (heartbreaking) is definitely one of those. He publicly denounced Christianity in 2013. That was the same year his brother died so who knows but he also stated he left it due to the non acceptance of gay people. I'm gonna quote him from a stream when someone was mentioning god. Not only did he ban that member but he said (i'm loosely paraphrasing but close) "Don't keep bringing god up in the chat. You're banned." "I don't believe in that sh*t you guys. I'm sorry but I don't. You guys hear my music, you see my videos." as well as quoting the bible at the end and saying "and that, my friends, isssss BuLL" and then stopped himself. That's just one stream I can recall. I'm sure he does have a problem with organized religion, so do I, but that doesn't mean he believes either. He also said in that stream "my dad is a Christian and I love my dad. I don't hate my dad because he loves Jesus but my dad doesn't go around telling me I'm going to hell." Perhaps Ronnie will update people on his views with this latest video, who knows.
The prequel is about Ronnie talking about his past and why he is the way he is today. Basically Ronnie said it's an anthem about standing up against the chaos of the world despite what people think. It's also about how people have become mindless sheep mindlessly doing what they're told and how that cycle needs to be broken. We aren't robots born to be controlled we are here to break free elevate and ascend.
People miss the message I think. The regime(for lack of a better term) anointed him, gave him power, made him an idol. Then when he started advocating for the people, they crucified him. The angels fight for his soul bc he did terrible things as their minion, but he redeemed himself which is why the white angels came for him. It's not him being a Messiah, it's the duality of humans.
Heavy is the crown, when he's on the cross I think he is talking from the perspective of the lord, Why have you forsaken me Watch it burn Heavy is the crown you see Jesus doesn't want to open the 6th seal sending the world into a state of darkness as every mountain and island are moved from their places and a third of the earth is burnt, but the lord must do what is done. His music is edgy but it tells a very profound message. Why have you forsaken me. Heavy is the crown you see
BTW Ronnie's Dad is in a Christian Biker Gang. Ronnie is finding his own way. Ronnie's Mother abandoned him for drugs as an infant. Ronnie is surely seeking.

Anything can change I suppose but I think Ronnie is more spiritual than anything else. Still though this is opening interesting dialogues!
@yeshuasaves 7911 I agree with you totally. I feel he is seeking also. And it's not right of any of us to state on here what Ronnie is or is not, regardless of lyrics and art, etc.

Bruh Ronnie is on a collision course directly with God. He is absolutely challenging God for personal Revelation. I know personally God will show up for the right heart but God decides his own divine appointments.
What's the difference between organized religion and spirituality which also (at a majority of places) require you to pay to receive and that you must be on board with what they teach? Yoga classes, shamanism, witches, etc require you to believe in certain teachings and pay to get palm readings. Would like to get an answer to that?

Hello, I was traveling between some reactions and I was scared by the title of an evangelical's reaction. I almost don't play it precisely because I know how much people hate Ronnie, but I decided to play it and wow, I finally found someone who says things solidly and completely based on truths and beliefs and who understands what Ronnie wants to go through with the lyrics/videos. I'm from Brazil and I can't like religion and pastors because of their understanding of the Bible and how the pastors here revert everything to involving money and taking advantage. I'm not a scholar about religion, but I'm curious... So much so that I read the Old and New Testament Bibles, I read the Quran, the holy book of Islam and also what they say is the Devil's Bible, literally out of pure curiosity... And seeing your opinion on the clip and seeing such blunt truths and opinions that understood the message, made me extremely happy. There was a new post on the channel. May God bless you on your journey, which I will now follow more closely!
Thank You Very Much! I listen to his music, Seether, and other artists of the like. To Help Others Realize That I Can Relate And Listen To This Music, My Fav Seether Song Written Is "Nobody Praying For Me." What Is Yours?
Ronnie only has issues with the church, not belief in a higher power. If anyone dont understand why the church is a problem. He even states he prays in some of his lyrics. The crucifixion in the video is metaphoric and also intentionally meant to provoke the woke masses. If you look at watch the world burn its the priest, not the bible that burns. There are so many visual and lyrical things that os not straight forward in everything he does. Also, Crucifixion was a common thing back then if we wanna go there. What about Barrabas?😂
I agree with what you're saying. Where in the video that I say that Jesus was the ONLY one who got crucified? I do say that He DID get crucified because He was going against the religious leaders, exposing them and doing miracles and fulfilling prophecies in front of them proving to be God in the flesh. There's more to all of it but never did I say he was the ONLY person in history to be crucified or the crucifix wasn't a way of execution at that time. So yes, it was a common thing back then.
Thank you for your honest approach and your willingness to see... I owe you an apology and that was my big "shame on me" moment . Here i think im a tolerant and less judhemental than most type of person and i totally misjudged you. O figured youd rio this video to shreds. I was actually scared to watch, silly because time and time again ive seen that even if people disagree it doesnt have to be mean or bad. Its an opportunity to learn something new, see something with different eyes.... So many ways our dofferences should beings us closer instead of pushing us apart.... Anyhow. I used my own bias, fear, history snd ignorance to do the very thing i thought i wouldnt do. But i did and im sorry. I agree with so much of what you said. Symbolism sent me running for many many years and looking back i realized it was my own ignorance that was the problem. I try very hard to be good and fair and i fail ... A lot but i learn, i chastise myself snd i vow to do better and i really hope that one day i can really be as nonjudgemental. My husbands grandmother was someone spectacular-she loved everyone. You were welcome i to her home no matter what and even if you wronged her she never turned you away. I never heard her speak negatively about race, sexuality, political affiliation or social standing. She openly asked questions of people who had different religious beliefs but it was never degrading and she never acted superior, just wanted to understand the why.... And later in the day she would read her bible or she would go to her bible study and bring up what she had learned and it was her way of ensuring she had not become blind and inwavering . If her pastor preached x but her teachings and her conversations all said y-then it was limitations of man and not proof of God's fallibility She was a remarkable lady and when she passed i truly felt like the last bit of goodness i had in my world disappeared. But jer teachings will always be there. O know when im being laZy, willfully blind, and dismissive. Shame hits me everytime. But the 1 area i thought i qas good i was the judgemental thing. Lol. Heavens sake was o weong. So back to the drawing board, i go and thought its really stinks to know you havent advanced as far as you thought the desire to learn os still wothin which gives me hope that im where i should be and will be more in time..... I have been humbled this night however brother, you did so with a velvet glove and a loving heart and that was very apparent by your words and the emotion behind them Thank you good Sir.
This video reminds of the movie Constantine…and all I can see is the duality and the fact that people lost the capacity to recognise both the Good and the Evil… people are lost in between
Crucifixion was around by Romans to teach lessons. Crowns gades into his head tattoo... heavens battle is his take on Good is where he wants to go bad is his past and he chose neither. People follow without thinking for themselves.
You are correct but Ronnie Specifically shows his hands at the end which show the crucifix marks so yes he is in a way showing him as someone who rose from crucification. Only Jesus did that. I really like falling in reverse, I’m also Christian so I’ve sat with his music and really thought it over. Personally I feel like the world Ronnie has created in his music videos also reflects his internal battles. So everything has dual meanings in lots of different ways. It’s external with the industry and fans but also an internal battle. When I saw Prequel and sat with it in context of Ronald, Watch The World Burn, Popular Monster, Zombiify, and Last Resort to me this is a reflection of his journey in the music industry. The industry props up musicians to be who THEY want. The industry is ripe with demonic energy. However he was propped partially from talent and partially because of trauma. With trauma comes the ability to control. However he didn’t like that the people who followed him didn’t actually stand for his values, when he spoke out they crucified him, but he had to come back from being crucified and fight his way through the music industry and all the evil energy that surrounds it. When he burns the world in Watch The World Burn he starts with the church but you’ll notice the Bible does not burn and the cross remains as the world burns. This is the flicker of hope that helps him to rebuild himself in Last Resort. Starting with the church can also mean when we lose all faith in God the whole world in turn burns down. You’ll notice also in Watch The World Burn the congregation in the church is zombified to their phones and computers as the priests is clearly preaching from fear and disdain not love. This is likely a reflection of how he feels about the church with in him. It was never a safe haven and he likely felt criticized for how he looks, the music he makes… but that hope in God doesn’t die and eventually helps him to rebuild The thing with heavy metal is often they use religion or fables or stories from history to tell another story. It’s done because we know these stories. The artist only has a limited time to tell the story in music so they use these well known stories to help them. I am Christian I believe in God and Jesus but I don’t belong to a church because I’ve never felt comfortable in church and I hate that. But I’ve always felt preached at rather than taught. I have many flaws but I’ve always felt I have a good relationship with God. When I watch something like Falling In Reverse I get that Ronnie likely has a similar relationship. While I might be shocked by some imagery after I sit with it, ask God for discernment I generally understand that shock is there for a reason. It’s meant to be there to make me feel something but it’s never made me feel like I should or could turn from my faith. In a way it deepens my own relationship with God. The music makes me sit and think for a while. There is some heavy metal that doesn’t sit well with me but FiR isn’t one of them One other thing, I watched a well known person in the Rap industry talk about FIR. He said something that really struck me. At the end he said something like… this isn’t demonic, this isn’t what demonic music looks like. In the industry demonic music is disguised as good. It’s never just in your face evil… We know the Bible tells us in end times whats good is bad and bad is good. So my take away is popular music is meant to lead us astray a little bit at a time, until our minds are corrupted. Is it possible God gives people like Ronnie the ability to shock us back into the reality of truth?
I saw quite a few religious imagery: Crown of Thorns Shadow Cross The statue resembling the one of King Nebuchadnezzer The Crucifixion Heaven and Hell and the Angels
12:52 you often hear the quote religion makes good people do bad things my counter or they are bad people using religion to justify there terrible actions
Yeah same. Watch the World Burn was my first experience with Ronnie and I remember feeling so resonated with the ending, just in terms of religion itself that I too am no longer a part of. Still though I think it's awesome to see so many of his religious fans wanting to find the deeper messages.
I never waited after a supposed god, and same for me, a real human like Ronnie helped me so much. Humanity really needs to have faith in Humanity and real people.
@@jeffreykitchens7083 this comment is so contradictory of Christian beliefs and what love (God) is, it's about what we can selflessly give to and for God alone, He's not just some music video you can click on and get immediate gratification and feel good again like some sort of vending machine. The Christian lifestyle is the hardest to follow and understand because it's not about you bro. I hope you return to God before it's too late because He loves you, and I have no idea why this "evangelist" liked your comment.
@@jeffreykitchens7083 right so you, a sinner, gave a mere 30 years to God, and God gave His ENTIRE life for you. It's obvious you had no firm foundation in your faith, I don't mean that in an insulting way either, but you don't understand sacrifice or it's significance for God if you can so easily turn away from Him. He deserves every second of your life. I pray you return to God.
I loved your reaction to a very high-quality music video.. I admire Ronnie Radke and FIR. Talk about someone who has really worked hard and maximized their talents. I also admire your comments, tend to agree and probably learned. I say that deserves a sub and a thank you!! xo
I'll believe in jesus and god when someone other than a human writes a book about then i have no use for a book about wat im suppose to do and how im suppose to live when it was written by a king
Interesting take. There is a lot of ignorance about the true circumstances of Jesus's life, teaching and death (and I am one of those who knows very little about it) This video may cause more people to want to learn the true story and how it applies to the evil we see in the world today which Ronnie describes so well.
Hello, I have never seen you before, probably because of some of the religious stuff I've been looking into . I was deeply involved with Christianity for 33 years of my life; I'm sure I have you beat. I have heard and seen things you can't imagine. Just in the few words I heard you speak, many questions have arisen in me, but I won't get into that now. It's a bit shocking to see a preacher reacting to Falling In Reverse, especially this video. When you watch it again, more understanding will come. Briefly, Jesus said, "The works that I do, you will do also." Jesus was a miracle worker. My question to you is: Do you have the power of God? Jesus also said, "The things I do, you will do also." This is one of the most important things about Christianity - a supernatural, invisible world we get involved with. Words are meaningless until generated by a realm of the supernatural that operates and functions in the human body. I've only given you a little taste of some things we could talk about. Christians are powerless, but full of speech and words that mean nothing. I will leave you with this: Paul said, "My speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!" I may talk to you soon. Anything and everything I have talked to you about in connection to God is available, but very few humans have paid the price to get there, and the cost is great.

No god have ever existed exept in a best seller as other fancy stories. And if you need to trust "the book", just remember that "god" already cleaned up earth from humanity....so if a god has ever existed, that would not be surprising that he "abandonned us" this time, tired to see the humaty being so stupid and self-destructive.....and supposed to being created in his own image....
The figure is Mulloch and the girls are being sacrificed in the fire to Mulloch with the babies too. TWO for one. Is it possible that the armor represents the armor of GOD with out actually saying it?
RE: The Armor: his character gets the armor originally in the video “Ronald” from the character played by Tech N9ne. Tech’s said recently that his character is supposed to be an angel that represents the brightness in us (or something to that effect), but some people have interpreted him as playing God in the video. Tech’s character, either way, talks about problems with the world today and then gives Ronnie’s character the armor before sending him to Hell to fight the Devil. This video is actually a continuation of the “Ronald” and “Watch the World Burn” videos.
Okey, the thing about pregnancy and woman. The quote her body her choice is in it because its not selfish if woman was r*ped or abused and the child will be constant reminder of the horrible things happend to her. Some women just dont feel like they want to be mothers and that totally okey. Nobody can force them into it. And the second thing, comunism was working to certain level. What my grandparents were telling me because we are from Europe is that everybody had to work, nobody was withouy home, travelling was possible still and new married pairs had privilages that todays generation dont. It wasnt bad at all in this matter. China is still comunistic country and is one of the most developed countries in the whole world. Its just all depend on how bad can goverment screw it all up.
You're opinion is pretty poor as a Christian... I have not gone through many atrocities at all, but i know evil. If only people who have gone through something are the ones"dealing" with it then things may never change, you need those outsiders
I do believe you need other to comfort you when in distress. But I also believe that those who went through the exact can help more. I was not trying to say that I'm not going to receive ANY advice from people. What I was trying to say is that people are quick to judge and therefore WITHOUT looking into what I do as a street preacher and how I share the message, they clump me in with those who scream, yell, and disrupt events and give me advice on what they do, not what I do. I have received some good insight on what I should be from regular people who see me out ministering, considered it, and did it and it went well. VS. someone who has never seen what I do, ASSUMES I'm a hellfire preacher and give me advice. That's a huge difference. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to get accross.
Good Honest Reaction I Like How You Explain Scripture with The Video. Jesus Is The Way The Truth and The Life. The Way The Truth Is A Great Song By Stryper If You’re gonna go down the FIR Rabbit Hole check out Watch the Word Burn Video and the Live Version by Caliber TV Ronald Voices in My Head Popular Monster
I love Ronnie Radke, I have since I was literally 6, but I've had to distance myself from his music, I finally went to see him in February and had the BEST time. I got one of his tour tees, I love the shirt so much that I haven't worn it once because I've been worried about putting it in the washer. But after this music video came out, I decided to burn it. This music video is sacrilege, and I have no idea why you did not once condemn the imagery of Ronnie on the cross in Jesus place, these lenient Protestants need to turn to Christ's one true body, ROME.
@@donovan8393 think you missed the plot, he was forced on the cross the same as those surrounding him. He was nailed the same as those surrounding him, he was tortured the same as those around him, he died like those around him.
I honestly don’t think you should make people stop messaging you about your religious choice, instead ignore the people who don’t want to hear what you have to say. Just message or speak to the people who want to listen, otherwise you are wasting your time.
I like you but I will say if my best friend is struggling I'd be a crap friend to not help and give advice. There is a difference between advice given thats not meant to help and advice given because you genuinely care and I think its way ruder to let your friend suffer than just offer some sort of hand to them. Maybe if i did that I wouldn't have had a friend commit suicide. love your reaction and your thoughts though and you got a sub from me.
Although I don't fully like your abortion take since there are instances where I think they are justified (Like women who where raped or underaged) I like your takes on religious music and especially on Falling in Reverse since their texts are heavily misunderstood by many Christians.
WTF are you on about? Not a 100% description of Jesus? Who in the f said it was suppose to be? The video is about Ronold... Knew this was going to be a dumb video to watch because you would only be able to see ONE thing and nothing else and yet i clicked anyway. Lesson learned.
Never meant for that to mean that. I Had comments from other videos tell me there is a lot of Christian symbolism in the video, so that is why I said that it's not "100% Jesus." Thanks for showing your closed-mindedness and unwillingness to just ask questions instead of assuming what I meant with a biased mindset already.
дослушай и тогда давай оценку клипа музыкального ... а не через 15 секунд комментарий свой говоришь((( потому и будет вечно 4000 подписчиков( чтобы тебя услышали понимай так же твоих подписчикови вообще людей. мой совет. а делай как хочешь, но я прав)
"if you haven't experienced it, don't give advice" okay, I won't give advice to not murder because I haven't murdered. I won't give advice to stop doing drugs because I haven't done them. I won't give advice to not rape because I haven't raped. And I sure won't give advice to be like Jesus because I never can be.
You're Taking My Words Completely Out Of Context. I'm Speaking About My Experience In Ministry And Advising Those Who Are Hurt. The Best People To Give Advice Are Those Who Have Done It Or Have Experienced It. Yes Of Course We Are To Stand For The Truth No Matter What, But In Order To Reach That Person It's Better To Relate More Than Not Realte At All
The Jew's don't agree with you about Jesus fulfilling the laws. I am an atheist. I believe Jesus is as real as Spiderman. I don't think there is anyone more narcissistic who think they know God.
Great response. Quoting "FACTS" that I havn't heard before JK. whats an actual reason to deny the existence of God without comparing him to a guy who got bit by a spider and can climb walls and just with a web that forms from the wrist?
I dont think Ronnie has found his way. But he is looking. And credit for that. Hes a great artist. Im Christian but i love these guys. Their music has strong emotions and opinions but thats good. Also if it wasnt for dark music i never would have found my way out. So it all has its place. He puts alot of emotion and pain into music which i feel in my chest. A desperation for clarity and truth. And i think hes talking about "all our gods abandon us" he says Gods not god. Which makes me believe hes talking of peoples false idols (which they are doing in mass numbers these days).
He says “all our gods(plural) have abandoned us” and as I understand it he means the things people follow religiously like social media ect.
I think when Ronnie says, "Our gods abandoned us", he's speaking more as who society looks up to as "gods", not God himslef. It is that we put humans on a pedastal thinking they are our saviors, and thinking they are out for our best interests. When it comes down to them or us, they will abandon us.

I'm not a scholar about religion, but I'm curious... So much so that I read the Old and New Testament Bibles, I read the Quran, the holy book of Islam and also what they say is the Devil's Bible, literally out of pure curiosity...
And seeing your opinion on the clip and seeing such blunt truths and opinions that understood the message, made me extremely happy. There was a new post on the channel.
May God bless you on your journey, which I will now follow more closely!
Thank You Very Much! I listen to his music, Seether, and other artists of the like. To Help Others Realize That I Can Relate And Listen To This Music, My Fav Seether Song Written Is "Nobody Praying For Me." What Is Yours?
he uses nf's clouds beat. !00%, he even has the choir background which is an nf staple. they are so similar it's ridiculous
I'll Have To Look Into That
Ronnie only has issues with the church, not belief in a higher power. If anyone dont understand why the church is a problem. He even states he prays in some of his lyrics. The crucifixion in the video is metaphoric and also intentionally meant to provoke the woke masses. If you look at watch the world burn its the priest, not the bible that burns. There are so many visual and lyrical things that os not straight forward in everything he does. Also, Crucifixion was a common thing back then if we wanna go there. What about Barrabas?😂
I agree with what you're saying. Where in the video that I say that Jesus was the ONLY one who got crucified? I do say that He DID get crucified because He was going against the religious leaders, exposing them and doing miracles and fulfilling prophecies in front of them proving to be God in the flesh. There's more to all of it but never did I say he was the ONLY person in history to be crucified or the crucifix wasn't a way of execution at that time. So yes, it was a common thing back then.
@@ExpounderOfficialyou did not say it. Its just what soo many people in comment sections write so it is a countermeasure
I love your understanding of societal issues! Subscribed!
Thank you for your honest approach and your willingness to see... I owe you an apology and that was my big "shame on me" moment . Here i think im a tolerant and less judhemental than most type of person and i totally misjudged you. O figured youd rio this video to shreds. I was actually scared to watch, silly because time and time again ive seen that even if people disagree it doesnt have to be mean or bad. Its an opportunity to learn something new, see something with different eyes.... So many ways our dofferences should beings us closer instead of pushing us apart.... Anyhow. I used my own bias, fear, history snd ignorance to do the very thing i thought i wouldnt do. But i did and im sorry.
I agree with so much of what you said. Symbolism sent me running for many many years and looking back i realized it was my own ignorance that was the problem. I try very hard to be good and fair and i fail ... A lot but i learn, i chastise myself snd i vow to do better and i really hope that one day i can really be as nonjudgemental. My husbands grandmother was someone spectacular-she loved everyone. You were welcome i to her home no matter what and even if you wronged her she never turned you away. I never heard her speak negatively about race, sexuality, political affiliation or social standing. She openly asked questions of people who had different religious beliefs but it was never degrading and she never acted superior, just wanted to understand the why.... And later in the day she would read her bible or she would go to her bible study and bring up what she had learned and it was her way of ensuring she had not become blind and inwavering . If her pastor preached x but her teachings and her conversations all said y-then it was limitations of man and not proof of God's fallibility
She was a remarkable lady and when she passed i truly felt like the last bit of goodness i had in my world disappeared. But jer teachings will always be there. O know when im being laZy, willfully blind, and dismissive. Shame hits me everytime. But the 1 area i thought i qas good i was the judgemental thing. Lol. Heavens sake was o weong.
So back to the drawing board, i go and thought its really stinks to know you havent advanced as far as you thought the desire to learn os still wothin which gives me hope that im where i should be and will be more in time..... I have been humbled this night however brother, you did so with a velvet glove and a loving heart and that was very apparent by your words and the emotion behind them
Thank you good Sir.
Apology accepted. I'm always open to watching new stuff and giving my view on it according to Christianity.
This video reminds of the movie Constantine…and all I can see is the duality and the fact that people lost the capacity to recognise both the Good and the Evil… people are lost in between
Crucifixion was around by Romans to teach lessons. Crowns gades into his head tattoo... heavens battle is his take on Good is where he wants to go bad is his past and he chose neither. People follow without thinking for themselves.
Jesus was not the only person to be crucified. There were many people crucified for many reasons. Why do all the religious people forget that?
Are you saying that I'm saying that Jesus was the only one crucified? or is this just what you hear in general?
You are correct but Ronnie Specifically shows his hands at the end which show the crucifix marks so yes he is in a way showing him as someone who rose from crucification. Only Jesus did that.
I really like falling in reverse, I’m also Christian so I’ve sat with his music and really thought it over. Personally I feel like the world Ronnie has created in his music videos also reflects his internal battles. So everything has dual meanings in lots of different ways. It’s external with the industry and fans but also an internal battle.
When I saw Prequel and sat with it in context of Ronald, Watch The World Burn, Popular Monster, Zombiify, and Last Resort to me this is a reflection of his journey in the music industry. The industry props up musicians to be who THEY want. The industry is ripe with demonic energy. However he was propped partially from talent and partially because of trauma. With trauma comes the ability to control. However he didn’t like that the people who followed him didn’t actually stand for his values, when he spoke out they crucified him, but he had to come back from being crucified and fight his way through the music industry and all the evil energy that surrounds it. When he burns the world in Watch The World Burn he starts with the church but you’ll notice the Bible does not burn and the cross remains as the world burns. This is the flicker of hope that helps him to rebuild himself in Last Resort. Starting with the church can also mean when we lose all faith in God the whole world in turn burns down. You’ll notice also in Watch The World Burn the congregation in the church is zombified to their phones and computers as the priests is clearly preaching from fear and disdain not love. This is likely a reflection of how he feels about the church with in him. It was never a safe haven and he likely felt criticized for how he looks, the music he makes… but that hope in God doesn’t die and eventually helps him to rebuild
The thing with heavy metal is often they use religion or fables or stories from history to tell another story. It’s done because we know these stories. The artist only has a limited time to tell the story in music so they use these well known stories to help them.
I am Christian I believe in God and Jesus but I don’t belong to a church because I’ve never felt comfortable in church and I hate that. But I’ve always felt preached at rather than taught. I have many flaws but I’ve always felt I have a good relationship with God. When I watch something like Falling In Reverse I get that Ronnie likely has a similar relationship. While I might be shocked by some imagery after I sit with it, ask God for discernment I generally understand that shock is there for a reason. It’s meant to be there to make me feel something but it’s never made me feel like I should or could turn from my faith. In a way it deepens my own relationship with God. The music makes me sit and think for a while.
There is some heavy metal that doesn’t sit well with me but FiR isn’t one of them
One other thing, I watched a well known person in the Rap industry talk about FIR. He said something that really struck me. At the end he said something like… this isn’t demonic, this isn’t what demonic music looks like. In the industry demonic music is disguised as good. It’s never just in your face evil…
We know the Bible tells us in end times whats good is bad and bad is good. So my take away is popular music is meant to lead us astray a little bit at a time, until our minds are corrupted. Is it possible God gives people like Ronnie the ability to shock us back into the reality of truth?
14:15 Bro spoke facts over facts without skipping a beat, be blessed brother.
I saw quite a few religious imagery:
Crown of Thorns
Shadow Cross
The statue resembling the one of King Nebuchadnezzer
The Crucifixion
Heaven and Hell and the Angels
@@thelivingmiracle Not to mention the background vocals at the end "why have you forsaken me"
12:52 you often hear the quote religion makes good people do bad things my counter or they are bad people using religion to justify there terrible actions
Ronnie and his music and humanity has helped me more than the christian god or church ever did tbh.. not to be disrespectful but I can never go back
Yeah same. Watch the World Burn was my first experience with Ronnie and I remember feeling so resonated with the ending, just in terms of religion itself that I too am no longer a part of. Still though I think it's awesome to see so many of his religious fans wanting to find the deeper messages.
I never waited after a supposed god, and same for me, a real human like Ronnie helped me so much.
Humanity really needs to have faith in Humanity and real people.
@@jeffreykitchens7083 this comment is so contradictory of Christian beliefs and what love (God) is, it's about what we can selflessly give to and for God alone, He's not just some music video you can click on and get immediate gratification and feel good again like some sort of vending machine. The Christian lifestyle is the hardest to follow and understand because it's not about you bro. I hope you return to God before it's too late because He loves you, and I have no idea why this "evangelist" liked your comment.
@@donovan8393 naw I’m good.. was giving and loving and following and sacrificing for over 30 years. “He” doesn’t deserve anymore of my time.
@@jeffreykitchens7083 right so you, a sinner, gave a mere 30 years to God, and God gave His ENTIRE life for you. It's obvious you had no firm foundation in your faith, I don't mean that in an insulting way either, but you don't understand sacrifice or it's significance for God if you can so easily turn away from Him. He deserves every second of your life. I pray you return to God.
👀
I loved your reaction to a very high-quality music video.. I admire Ronnie Radke and FIR. Talk about someone who has really worked hard and maximized their talents. I also admire your comments, tend to agree and probably learned. I say that deserves a sub and a thank you!! xo
I'll believe in jesus and god when someone other than a human writes a book about then i have no use for a book about wat im suppose to do and how im suppose to live when it was written by a king
Interesting take. There is a lot of ignorance about the true circumstances of Jesus's life, teaching and death (and I am one of those who knows very little about it) This video may cause more people to want to learn the true story and how it applies to the evil we see in the world today which Ronnie describes so well.
If you know very little of the Life, Teachings, and Death of Christ, I would encourage you to look more into it.
Hello, I have never seen you before, probably because of some of the religious stuff I've been looking into
.
I was deeply involved with Christianity for 33 years of my life; I'm sure I have you beat. I have heard and seen things you can't imagine. Just in the few words I heard you speak, many questions have arisen in me, but I won't get into that now.
It's a bit shocking to see a preacher reacting to Falling In Reverse, especially this video. When you watch it again, more understanding will come.
Briefly, Jesus said, "The works that I do, you will do also." Jesus was a miracle worker. My question to you is: Do you have the power of God? Jesus also said, "The things I do, you will do also." This is one of the most important things about Christianity - a supernatural, invisible world we get involved with. Words are meaningless until generated by a realm of the supernatural that operates and functions in the human body.
I've only given you a little taste of some things we could talk about. Christians are powerless, but full of speech and words that mean nothing. I will leave you with this: Paul said, "My speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!"
I may talk to you soon. Anything and everything I have talked to you about in connection to God is available, but very few humans have paid the price to get there, and the cost is great.

No god have ever existed exept in a best seller as other fancy stories.
And if you need to trust "the book", just remember that "god" already cleaned up earth from humanity....so if a god has ever existed, that would not be surprising that he "abandonned us" this time, tired to see the humaty being so stupid and self-destructive.....and supposed to being created in his own image....
My fav pastor uploaded good video again. 🎉
I appreciate that
The figure is Mulloch and the girls are being sacrificed in the fire to Mulloch with the babies too. TWO for one. Is it possible that the armor represents the armor of GOD with out actually saying it?
I was wondering the same thing with the armor
@@ExpounderOfficial it is art ,objective
RE: The Armor: his character gets the armor originally in the video “Ronald” from the character played by Tech N9ne. Tech’s said recently that his character is supposed to be an angel that represents the brightness in us (or something to that effect), but some people have interpreted him as playing God in the video. Tech’s character, either way, talks about problems with the world today and then gives Ronnie’s character the armor before sending him to Hell to fight the Devil. This video is actually a continuation of the “Ronald” and “Watch the World Burn” videos.
I'll have to watch them in order then
Also I’m confused in your commentary saying bc you don’t wanna judge but have clothing and a stance that atheists can’t reason.
Can You Tell Me Where I Said I Don't Want TO Judge? I May Have Said That, But In A Way Saying I Don't Want To Say Something Wrong.
Okey, the thing about pregnancy and woman. The quote her body her choice is in it because its not selfish if woman was r*ped or abused and the child will be constant reminder of the horrible things happend to her. Some women just dont feel like they want to be mothers and that totally okey. Nobody can force them into it. And the second thing, comunism was working to certain level. What my grandparents were telling me because we are from Europe is that everybody had to work, nobody was withouy home, travelling was possible still and new married pairs had privilages that todays generation dont. It wasnt bad at all in this matter. China is still comunistic country and is one of the most developed countries in the whole world. Its just all depend on how bad can goverment screw it all up.
point is not to see the religion in it, is more a symbolic about how the people are today and how he feels about it all...
This Is A Christian Channel, So I Do Look At It With A Biblical Mindset And Put In My Two Cents About What The Lyrics Say And The Picture.
@@ExpounderOfficial understandable, keep it going..
Thank you!
You're opinion is pretty poor as a Christian... I have not gone through many atrocities at all, but i know evil. If only people who have gone through something are the ones"dealing" with it then things may never change, you need those outsiders
I do believe you need other to comfort you when in distress. But I also believe that those who went through the exact can help more. I was not trying to say that I'm not going to receive ANY advice from people. What I was trying to say is that people are quick to judge and therefore WITHOUT looking into what I do as a street preacher and how I share the message, they clump me in with those who scream, yell, and disrupt events and give me advice on what they do, not what I do.
I have received some good insight on what I should be from regular people who see me out ministering, considered it, and did it and it went well. VS. someone who has never seen what I do, ASSUMES I'm a hellfire preacher and give me advice. That's a huge difference. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to get accross.
Good Honest Reaction

I love Ronnie Radke, I have since I was literally 6, but I've had to distance myself from his music, I finally went to see him in February and had the BEST time. I got one of his tour tees, I love the shirt so much that I haven't worn it once because I've been worried about putting it in the washer. But after this music video came out, I decided to burn it. This music video is sacrilege, and I have no idea why you did not once condemn the imagery of Ronnie on the cross in Jesus place, these lenient Protestants need to turn to Christ's one true body, ROME.
Oh for goodness sake. Really??? 🤦♀️
@@donovan8393 many died on the cross.
@@NavyVet4955 only One did it voluntarily and out of selflessness.
@@donovan8393 think you missed the plot, he was forced on the cross the same as those surrounding him. He was nailed the same as those surrounding him, he was tortured the same as those around him, he died like those around him.
I honestly don’t think you should make people stop messaging you about your religious choice, instead ignore the people who don’t want to hear what you have to say. Just message or speak to the people who want to listen, otherwise you are wasting your time.
And you can’t think you have the best religion with out , witnessing other religions in depth.
And this has nothing to do with god or Jesus. Ronnie is not into religion so you attaching your beliefs to an atheist song is funny.
Their was never a biblical reference this is the whole stay in your lane he is against religion
You understood very wrong!!! The video. It is about personal live, not about religion.
ok
nice brother
Thanks
@@ExpounderOfficial you are welcome
"God" is a fairytale
Ok
I like you but I will say if my best friend is struggling I'd be a crap friend to not help and give advice. There is a difference between advice given thats not meant to help and advice given because you genuinely care and I think its way ruder to let your friend suffer than just offer some sort of hand to them. Maybe if i did that I wouldn't have had a friend commit suicide. love your reaction and your thoughts though and you got a sub from me.
Although I don't fully like your abortion take since there are instances where I think they are justified (Like women who where raped or underaged) I like your takes on religious music and especially on Falling in Reverse since their texts are heavily misunderstood by many Christians.
They misunderstand it because they already don't like the genre of music in the first place.
WTF are you on about? Not a 100% description of Jesus? Who in the f said it was suppose to be? The video is about Ronold... Knew this was going to be a dumb video to watch because you would only be able to see ONE thing and nothing else and yet i clicked anyway. Lesson learned.
Never meant for that to mean that. I Had comments from other videos tell me there is a lot of Christian symbolism in the video, so that is why I said that it's not "100% Jesus." Thanks for showing your closed-mindedness and unwillingness to just ask questions instead of assuming what I meant with a biased mindset already.

Thanks For The Advice!
"if you haven't experienced it, don't give advice" okay, I won't give advice to not murder because I haven't murdered. I won't give advice to stop doing drugs because I haven't done them. I won't give advice to not rape because I haven't raped. And I sure won't give advice to be like Jesus because I never can be.
You're Taking My Words Completely Out Of Context. I'm Speaking About My Experience In Ministry And Advising Those Who Are Hurt. The Best People To Give Advice Are Those Who Have Done It Or Have Experienced It. Yes Of Course We Are To Stand For The Truth No Matter What, But In Order To Reach That Person It's Better To Relate More Than Not Realte At All
The Jew's don't agree with you about Jesus fulfilling the laws. I am an atheist. I believe Jesus is as real as Spiderman. I don't think there is anyone more narcissistic who think they know God.
The fool says in his heart there is no God. Look up the word fool in the greek.
@@ExpounderOfficial Great response. Quoting the book you already believe. Very convincing.
Great response. Quoting "FACTS" that I havn't heard before JK. whats an actual reason to deny the existence of God without comparing him to a guy who got bit by a spider and can climb walls and just with a web that forms from the wrist?
@@ExpounderOfficial Because there is zero evidence for his existence. Its quite simple really.
0%? That's A Big Claim. Can You Give Me A Source In Which Can Back That Up?
Jesus is still dead and buried where he died at the age of 106. Jesus was just teaching buddhism in his own words.
Age 106?
@@ExpounderOfficial he wasnt crucified.
What happened then?
I dont think Ronnie has found his way. But he is looking. And credit for that. Hes a great artist. Im Christian but i love these guys. Their music has strong emotions and opinions but thats good. Also if it wasnt for dark music i never would have found my way out. So it all has its place. He puts alot of emotion and pain into music which i feel in my chest. A desperation for clarity and truth.
And i think hes talking about "all our gods abandon us" he says Gods not god. Which makes me believe hes talking of peoples false idols (which they are doing in mass numbers these days).
