Blind Willie Johnson "Jesus is coming soon"

[coolhellcat18]

@Futurewolf Jesus died even to pay for your sins. Repent while you still can, for it is appointed once to die, and then the judgement.

[joepuly]

Them sumbitches is runnin'! lawd! Jesus Comin!"! All the way to The Mobile Bay, Nah! With a steel rang!

[Benjabola]

jesus is here

[maricellaskoog]

Nobody knows when will Jesus come. Everyone just be prepared!

[bigmarty11288]

I was recently accused of racism, when my only crime was ignorance. I'm a fool. I've let Willie down.

[busessuck1]

Goddamn... I've been lookin for this for ages

[Kynatics]

"We done told you, our God's done warned you,

Jesus comin soon. x2

Well, God is warning the nation, He's a-warnin them every way.

To turn away from evil and seek the Lord and pray."

I hope people think over those words as they appreciate the music.

[WelcomeToAlcatraz]

Thanks for putting this together. Its good to hear Blind Willie Johnson get some praise from a fellow blind blues musician. Its unfortunate Johnson died alone and poor in the shell of his burnt down house...no doubt hes in a better place.

[BordiniBlues85]

Jesus is coming soon!

[ELVIS4221]

ARE YOU READY, MESSIAH COMING SOON. EVEN SO MY DEAR ANOINTED, COME SOON. I'M TIRED OF ALL THE WICKEDNESS AROUND ME. GIVE US THE STRENGTH AND MERCY TO ENTER INTO YOUR KINGDOM.

[Pelonetillo]

how soon? where he at? where you at, jesus?

[Jinxd22]

Preaching the truth, Amen

[futurewolf42o]

jesus came all over my tits and ass

[tj4steelers]

Chilling and powerful...

[fenderfish]

Power in the voice. Power in the message, Power in the music....awesome post!

[CWO4Mann]

Can anyone source this old movie clip?

[va804richmond]

@lizazoon, is your purpose simply to be mean? if i were you i'd be concerned in case he does come, because your an asshole and probably aint getting into heaven.

[lizazoon]

Jesus is not coming NOW not EVER, Fantasy !!!

[mdeonx16]

Who says so?

[mojochessclassics]

@lizazoon "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so" 

[slideharp1]

I love this song/reel/spiritual. Got it on a tape with 17 others by BWJ. I used to watch old movies from a very good video store that included silent (pre-1928) stuff. Would really like to see 'Blood Of Jesus', It seems to give a lot of atmosphere to the song and period. And the Devil really cracks me up. Funny/Serious.

[slideharp1]

Yeah, I Have been an American, Apart from that, you know NUTHIN about What I Am or What I Hear when I Listen. You're some rap-crappin jackass who ain't even heard Willie J. You just heard About him and talk-up a whole lotta Bullshit like you know something about the Artist. As for your other contention,about what you are,etc,etc, it don't mean shit to me. Why the fuck would it?. In fact you are so full of Shit it's comin out of your ears. In fact, it ain't shit. It's bacterial Pus.

[rafaelprivate]

If you take a look carefully to the Led Zeppelin Vol. II album cover, you'll see there Blind Willie Johnson... This is one of the Led Zeppelin tribute to that great bluesman.

[rafaelprivate]

I really love the Delta Blues. Not only Blind Willy Johnson... Robert Johnson was a great bluesman too...

[johnr321111]

this one of the best videos on U Tube....super job

[joramba]

this is blues. nothing more

[joramba]

wow..my heart is....dude

[johnr321111]

so.. real..is HE.

[LtteBuster]

We'd Kill him again...

This time we;ll shoot him on the head.

So you can hang Holy Pistols arround your neck !.

[sharonanony]

PEOPLE GET READY, THERE WILL BE NO HIDING PLACE FROM THE KINGDOMS THRONE.

THE crime of American Slavery, supported by greedy Americans will have no hiding place from the KINGDOM'S THRONE. IT WAS A CRIME AGAINST GOD, EVEN MORE THEN BLACKS. SO PEOPLE GET READY. CAUSE COWARDLY AMERICANS, CANT HIDE.

[slideharp1]

@sharonanony. Sorry you had nothing to say about Blind Willie. Maybe you didn't even listen to him. YOU ain't never been no slave you goddamned phony. Your words are those of a brain-dead, sanctimonious, racist pig. Get a life. Or just get a job

[sharonanony]

U Aint Never Been An American. ALL u Have Ever Been Was a Corporate Whore, and Ur children to.AND BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON IS MY PEOPLE BITCH, U DONT OWN ANYTHING, BUT Ur. Corporate Whoring, and lowlife, KNOW ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AS WAR WHORES. MY Black People Like Willie Johnson OWN THE WHOLE CULTURE OF AMERICA , KNOW AROUND THE WORLD. u r known as the Racist bitches like U who destroyed America, and sold out your own children for ur fake fantasies, or Privilege. REBUKE U TO HELL, WHORE.

[TutorWizard]

ahahahahhaha!!!!

[Jack105e]

To bad there aren't enough African-Americans making this sort of music today. Instead of singing about faith, struggles and hardship its all money, bitches and mansions nowdays.

[bluestudio67]

Keb Mo is just about the best black acoustic bluesman I've seen in a while, though a bit commercial at times. I got into the blues scene when Muddy was still playing medium-size venues. He died before I could see him play in person. I truly mourned for that man, which a lot of folks just didn't understand. I'm glad whites are carrying on with the blues. I think that you and I, Jack, are on the same page and reading a different chapter than most modern artists. We have to keep it alive. :)

[snotgunn]

amen brother amen.

[JensTwn]

If christians lived by the bible it would be no wars, but they dont. Christians are also in my opinion the most prejudiced people in the world.

I dont understand how they could call themself good christians by the same time they use slaves in their cotton feilds.

How can they be christians and rasists at the same time?

[erickallen102]

I hear what your saying.......I'm a christian myself just like blind wille here, and I see it myself..

Rember what Jesus christ said "my name is on their lips but there heart is far from me.............and in that time I will say to them, I never knew you."

All hate on this earth is the domain of the prince of darkness, racism included.

[leftwinger84]

@erickallen102 and hatred of gays and those who follow other faiths?

[gratefulsoldier]

@erickallen102 What about the Biblical call to hate evil, injustice, the unmerciful and the proud? There is a clear distinction between righteous anger and unrighteous anger. A proper way to act out of anger and an improper way. This is responsible action, led by the Holy Spirit and purposed to motivate us into either standing against tyranny or in spite of it. When C.S Lewis wrote about the 'tyranny of good intentions', he was talking about nice being equated with good and happiness with love.

[cyberties]

@JensTwn By prejudiced, do you mean they form opinions about someone based on what "Group" they are in using generalities and cliches without getting to know the person as an individual?

[Ricadomonta]

Amen Its All about the Second Coming don't you know that Satan.

[PeaceAndJustice357]

Yo man Iam from the South. These brothers expressed themselves through the music as a way of life and relgion was a very big part that. If you don't like it don't listen to the music!!!!!!!

[genitalsmckool]

ah,nothing like a good song about the flu.

[theriveruna]

Why is Jesus coming?

[19PHS74]

To claim His own.

[ytertyu]

sure ,Jesus and Allah are powerful Gods , but they couldn't come close to Buddha ; cause he's Indian .. this joke is my gift to youtube society

[MrHeavyfuels]

what is all this bullshit about Jesus and Allah? This is all about the blues stupid fanatics...Bues at his best and nothing else more than that :) Build a church and and have the religious bullshit there ...you are very very boring ppl !

[californiaclaybo]

there is a serious problem with what you are saying. If you were sitting face to face with blind willie johnson, he would preach your head off. He is singing all about and living all about Jesus!! DUH!!

[aerostockians]

Very good - thanks

[benjaminredbull19]

my witness is the holy ghost. jesus is real, and he relates all he says inn the bible, K>J>V>

[benjaminredbull19]

there is only one, u can only come to the father thought the sun, jesus. watch u will see inn the rapture.

[thefabb]

allah is a desert god worshipped by ancient tribal people, allah is not one with or the same as Jehovah Jihrah, El Shaddai, and or several other Names for the One God of the Hebrews.......the tribes surrounding Israel worship small god, the god of this world, Baal, but they try to be holy and call Baal, Allah as though he were JEHOVAH GOD, which of course he is not. Read Torah........ Fool

[WatevaTreva26]

no one gives two shits about your religious views,

im sick of religious and ethical debate dominating every video on this site ffs cant you talk about your imaginary friends without the internet?

desert god. Jewish god. no god - no arguments. religion has no place in the modern world one would hope we have evolved intellectually and ideologically since 3000 years ago.

now enjoy the song.

[edencove]

@thefabb - Very well said. Jehovah is the only true God as told in the Torah and the Bible.

[bsvhs666]

very good thank you

[sideshowbobmarley]

tell the children the truth, thats all I can say...quit lying today, repent and worship allah the correct way.

[dbfkjmatt]

stop preaching on us bitch!

[sideshowbobmarley]

mind ya flihty mouth

[dbfkjmatt]

learn to spell!

[andrew1989uk]

crush allah!

[sideshowbobmarley]

how can you fight against god??, allah and jehovah are one

[araggedclown]

is there any way to access more of the interview?

[seealwaysinside]

"You have a chance to see, experience and be sanctified by the incarnation of the Lord; this chance is as a result of accumulation of merit in many previous lives. That merit has brought you here when I have come down. For this chance sages and demi gods have prayed long in the past. Having won this chance, strive to taste the sweetness and achieve the bliss of merging without wasting even a single moment."

Only heard Blind Willie Johnson for the first time earlier this year (09)..this is (god forbid) prophetic...but his music is natural, pure music...I love all his music...he is one of the best there was!

[ghostsNgremlins]

This is a great song, but this video is one of the scariest things i've ever seen.

[WoodstockImprov]
