THIS WAS A GREAT PROJECT
Ryan Thompson, known as DJ Disruptarian, continues to bring groundbreaking perspectives to the world of music and spirituality with his latest single, “The Gospel of Judas.” This powerful track dives into the depths of ancient wisdom, taking inspiration from the rediscovered Gnostic Bible and the Gospel of Judas, a text that has sparked fresh discussions about the role of Judas Iscariot in the story of Jesus Christ.
The song opens with a bold statement: “Oh yeah, dem say Judas was a traitor, but the truth, Jah know, is much greater.” From the very first lines, it’s clear that “The Gospel of Judas” seeks to challenge conventional narratives and illuminate a deeper understanding of Judas’ role. The lyrics draw directly from the newly uncovered Gospel of Judas, which portrays him not as a betrayer but as a key figure in a divine plan, chosen to help Jesus fulfill his destiny.
In the first verse, Thompson takes us through the traditional depiction of Judas and juxtaposes it with the revelations from the ancient scrolls found in Egypt. Lines like “Gospel of Judas, the light it did reveal, a secret truth they tried to conceal” reflect the rediscovery of this long-hidden text and its profound implications. The song weaves together themes of deception, liberation, and spiritual awakening, resonating deeply with both historical inquiry and Rasta philosophy.
The chorus is an anthem of empowerment and enlightenment: “Oh, Gospel of Judas, Jah light will shine, the truth hidden, but now it’s time.” It calls listeners to embrace the truths unearthed from Egypt’s sands and break free from the chains of Babylon’s distortions.
In the second verse, the song delves into the discovery of the ancient texts at Nag Hammadi. It portrays Judas as a figure of love and sacrifice, aligning with the Rasta belief in liberation through truth and spiritual resilience. The bridge further emphasizes this re-interpretation: “They twist the story, but Rasta can see, the deeper meaning, the prophecy.” This message underscores the idea that history’s narratives are often shaped by those in power, but truth has a way of surfacing.
“The Gospel of Judas” is more than a song; it’s a bold exploration of hidden histories and suppressed truths. With its infectious reggae rhythm and thought-provoking lyrics, DJ Disruptarian invites us to question, reflect, and rise. This single is not just music—it’s a movement towards greater understanding and spiritual freedom.
