It's not just Cool it telling the truth about Jesus and who actually has a fight with we should have the same fight with that person Jesus defeated him so we need to live like he has
Another awesome Petra song and one of my favorites. After the decades, this song is still in my head. The lyrics are still relevant today as they were in the eighties.
keith green murdered for speaking against rome,,,,,70-80's//////larry norman,,kicked out of churches,,,,concerts on farms only then found petra.....incredible,,,love the song angel of light ,and that album,,,great concerts in st louis,,then.... speaks loud to those desiring to follow true messiah...sorry,no caps keyboard issue
Ha! I totally wore out the cassette when I was about 9 or 10. I still remember listening on old-school headphones and obsessively following the microscopic liner notes!
Son of the morning--highest of all You had so much going till you took the fall Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all Impossible odds but you had the gall It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well But you went down fighting when you heard the bell Took a third of all heaven when you went to hell [Chorus] This means war--and the battle's still raging War--and though both sides are waging The Victor is sure and the victory secure But till judgement we all must endure This Means War! Then came the cross--you thought you had won You thought you had conquered God's only Son "So much for Jesus" you said in jest Then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest Now it's all over down to the wire Counting the days to your own lake of fire But you'll go down fighting for all that you're worth To try to abolish His image on earth He reigns
@@omicrondec Explain how Lucifer can be sent to hell (first verse) but then in the chorus and second verse he’s active and we’re fighting against him 🤷♂️
@@sixxfixx666no he was talking about this all the king's horses and All the King's Men going to run down from heaven from where they've been going to put this world back together again it's another great song by Petra off of the same album this song is from because this means war is actually an album of theirs not just the song
I remember walking into a Christian record store and picking up a free promotional cassette recording of this song, along with an interview with Bob Hartman. I bought the album, as I did with every Petra album before and after!
This was brought up in a Facebook conversation with a friend and it always brings back great memories of time with my middle brother in the late 80s. I wore out my cassette tape of this. Still great!
Son of the morning Highest of all You had so much going 'Till you took the fall Had a place in the glory But you wanted it all!!! I LOVE PETRA!!! THIS MEANS WAR! THIS MEANS WAR! THIS MEANS WAR! THIS MEANS WAR!!!
NathanThePanda I love how Petra did this song. Verse 1: Lucifer's fall, verse 2: Satan's defeat at the cross and verse 3: the last days. Very awesome! Can't help wondering if this was part of Stryper's inspiration for "Yahweh" on their "Fallen" album.
This album when it first came out, represented a big shift for me when I recalled what Petra sounded like in 1973. But that's what I've always liked about this band. They seemed to keep up with the times - and in my opinion, also did not forget who they were supposed to be singing about.
The Deacon's daughter at my private school turned me on to Petra back in the late '80's. I remained a headbanger, but always loved Petra and Stryper. Thanks Kass! Thanks for helping me cope with my dwindling eyesight, too! :-)
This was the very first Petra song I heard, well, with the exception of God Gave Rock & Roll to You, but I heard it by Kiss and had no idea that it was a cover. I have seen Petra in concert several times.
I had this on cassette tape and i think its still in my top right desk drawer. I used to crank it up on my tape player and sing with it as a kid. This was my heavy metal rock n roll. Still love this tape, Petra still rox!
Hey there. Don't know who controls Petra's channels, but I want them to know that I grew up on this music and since my brother and I no longer see each other and nothing just stupid. I don't get to play his the Petra's music much. So I miss them and I wish there was more going on for that particular group. I'd love it if it came to Northern California, I would definitely go. Talk to you later. Bye. Bye.
in the bible it says God created everything in 7 days..he is saying that since God likes the number 7 it might mbe the 7th millenium were it all happens..but there is one thing God said..no one will know wheni t will happen only he will not even jesus knows when it is time
@LiberorumDeus It amazes me at the depth and knowledge of our own nature that the great minds of old possessed. And it depresses me that the great minds of our day look back with haughty pride and arrogance on those great men... rest in piece saints, for you are with our Father and we await our chance to meet you after we fall at his feet
@masterkeep Yes u can evolve out of it, going to heaven is entering a new dimension, however lower dimensions have a harder time get out and up to a better level. Ascending into heaven is ascending to a new dimension, that's it. U will leave the physical body behind and become less dense.
Question to all Petra fans... Early Petra was a light rock thing...what sound were they similar too? Second stage, very similar to Boston with Greg X... maybe a little Aerosmith. my question is with "This Means War" I cant find a band that has this sound, do you believe Petra with John S had the best most unique sound in CCM and general music of the time?
i had this stuck in my head for so long i was just thinking skrew it i'm finding this song so took a little whil but i did and i have severall backups for it
This song is amazing and so true, we should NOT be putting up with the devil, with God on our side we need to be fighting the devil. Ps. Cool neo-classical bits
ahhh nice to see people actually taking interest in old Christian songs
Yes
Still taking interest!💃
Hell, even us atheists can love this music! :-)
No school like the old school! 😄
@@LiViro1 hell lol
...by far one of the coolest Christian songs of all time !!
It's not just Cool it telling the truth about Jesus and who actually has a fight with we should have the same fight with that person Jesus defeated him so we need to live like he has
@@benjaminvalenti1242had a lot of great times listen to these guys
while amongst non Christian friends hanging out in our cars i would play this album, and rez band, everyone loved it, the message got through.
Love rez band. God is good.
Saw Rez at Night of Joy back in the day....they were the loudest band I had (and have ever) heard! Loved their music anyways!!
Awesome
You should check out Jars of Clay
I could care lest for god or christ but god damn this music is pretty kickin that any non christian can get on with.
Another awesome Petra song and one of my favorites. After the decades, this song is still in my head. The lyrics are still relevant today as they were in the eighties.

The first Petra song I ever heard. I still love their music. Great sound without compromising lyrics.
Mine too.
This is my first Petra song, too. Never got over this band. Still playing their songs to this day.
They were great. I listened to them on cassette when i was alone in Mexico
Heard this in bus to ski hill, 2/3 loved it, on way back ALL LOVED IT, AC/DC was being played, yes a christian school bus, aaaaahhh
Mine as well.
I've listened to Petra since I was 12 . They sing totally for God not themselves.amen
Mom got me this album on tape at the Christian Bookstore when it came out. I was 12 years old and rock was cool. Good times.
Ha! I totally wore out the cassette when I was about 9 or 10. I still remember listening on old-school headphones and obsessively following the microscopic liner notes!
Wyatt Michael rock has never been not cool
😁
Best ever! Lol.
Son of the morning--highest of all
You had so much going till you took the fall
Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all
Impossible odds but you had the gall
It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel
Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well
But you went down fighting when you heard the bell
Took a third of all heaven when you went to hell
[Chorus]
This means war--and the battle's still raging
War--and though both sides are waging
The Victor is sure and the victory secure
But till judgement we all must endure
This Means War!
Then came the cross--you thought you had won
You thought you had conquered God's only Son
"So much for Jesus" you said in jest
Then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest
Now it's all over down to the wire
Counting the days to your own lake of fire
But you'll go down fighting for all that you're worth
To try to abolish His image on earth
He reigns
Amazing
Lucifer never went to hell. He is the god (ruler) of this world 🤷♂️
@@timbaker4253 what verse says Lucifer is the God of this world?
@@omicrondec Explain how Lucifer can be sent to hell (first verse) but then in the chorus and second verse he’s active and we’re fighting against him 🤷♂️
@@timbaker4253not yet. It's coming fast now
...by far one of the coolest Christian rock album cover artwork of all time
I cut my teeth on Petra. Major impact on my walk with Jesus. God bless them for their faithfulness to the Lord in their obedience to follow the call.
this song totally kicks ass - this is my favorite from this album.
I agree, the entire album This Means War! is AWESOME, Amazing, full of power!
I love this music forever
Yes, I wore this record out when I was younger.
the song that will play when he comes back.
All The King's Horses...

"But till judgment we all must endure... " Not long now, Saints! HE IS AT THE DOOR!!! ♥️🙌💪🕊️🔥
It's coming!!! The human saints FEEL IT!!!!!!! PREPARE YOUR HEARTS!!!
getting ready for war. needed music like this, so i don't forget where my strength comes from.
I remember walking into a Christian record store and picking up a free promotional cassette recording of this song, along with an interview with Bob Hartman. I bought the album, as I did with every Petra album before and after!
😁
I remember blasting this from the car stereo on the way to high school!
rawar777 me too!! got some of my friends to even like this that weren't into Christian music..
Me too, on my Pioneer tape deck.
I still blast this and other Petra songs when I lift weights !!! 🏋️
😁
This was brought up in a Facebook conversation with a friend and it always brings back great memories of time with my middle brother in the late 80s. I wore out my cassette tape of this. Still great!
Almost 2025 an this song still rocks! Thank you Jesus!
Are you guys for real 😂
I can't wait till Jesus comes back to get us! We will attend the greatest concert ever! Petra's gonna be playing in the clouds! I just know it!!

My wife got me listening to Petra and I still love them!
This was my very first concert. I still remember it well. December 5th, 1988 at Jackson Hall/TPAC in Nashville, TN.
had this song stuck in my head all morning
Wow, amazing song. John Schlitt is just fantastic. Most underrated vocalist of all times and he is still greatly celebrated.
hey! don't forget me! im thirteen and LOVE petra, Rez band, almost all old bands including Sweet Comfort Band and Daniel Band
Reach of Love is my absolute favorite Rez Band song.
The Deacon's daughter at my private school turned me on to Petra back in the late '80's.
I remained a headbanger, but always loved Petra and Stryper.
Thanks Kass! Thanks for helping me cope with my dwindling eyesight, too! :-)
Petra 2022.

AMEN I LOVE PETRA!!!!
My grandma got me this album for Christmas when it very first came out I think I was 13 😀 I loved it then and I love it now
We've been listening to Petra since the 80s. They really minister to us.
The Day of the Rapture: This Means War!, All the King's Horses and Graverobber will be songs that should be played and what a day that will be.
the battle is still raging......
But the victor is sure and the victorys secure!
I remember listening to this back in the early 90's
Love this song
Put on the full armor of GOD and lets go!!!! AMEN!!!
TO THE END!!!
Doesn't get much better than this
Listening to this in 2022. Love Petra!!!❤

I love Old Christian Rock! ✝️
Petra is the greatest rock band ever to EVER walk the earth! First year inductees into the secular Rock and Roll Hall of Fame EASY!!
'So much for Jesus!' You said in jest but then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest - that's a killer line!
Foolishness to the unsaved but this is real to True believers of Christ
Yes
Song for now!! Rise up warriors in CHRIST!!!🙋🏼✝️
