John The Revelator Lyrics

Exactly Ad_Nauseam, John the apostle wrote 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ unto his servant John', a book with 7 chapters. He had two visions, he saw 7 angels, each one played a trumpet (calling massive destruction to the world), anyway, there's a lot of 7s. These revelations has to be with the end of the world.

So I suppose this song has no intend of condemn a religion.

More like the author is calling John, the revelator, a lier, this song is a reclaim to the apostle, because he the autor wishes the end of the world soon but nothing of John's prophecy has hapenned yet.
