The song "Revelation" by Ziggy Marley & Melody Makers is a call for people to come together and love each other before it's too late. The repetition of "Revelation come, world soon done" emphasizes the urgency for people to repent and do good before the world comes to an end. The lyrics suggest that Jah (God) is selective and will only choose those who are deemed "good ones" rather than those who possess material possessions or have veteran status. The reference to the River Jordan in the final lines could be interpreted as a symbol of spiritual cleansing and purification.
The repetition of the phrase "mind what you say, mind what you're doing" in the second verse highlights the idea that actions and words have consequences and people need to be mindful of their behavior in these dark times. The song celebrates love as the unifying force that can bring people together and ensure their survival. The use of the phrase "make sure no devil don't get you down" in the third verse suggests that one must stay vigilant against negative influences and temptations in order to stay on the right path.
Overall, "Revelation" is a powerful and timely message encouraging people to put aside their differences and come together in love and unity while there's still time.
