* NoNameGiven: The first four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are unnamed and their roles are discerned only from their descriptions, the colors of their horses (white, red and black) and the items they carry (a crown and bow, a sword and a scale). Typically, they're assumed to be Conquest, War and Famine, in that order. Averted with the fourth Horseman, whose explicitly named as [[TheGrimReaper Death]].

** Interpreters often tend to identify the villains of the story with their own [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical preferred religious or political targets]]. For instance, during the Protestant Reformation the "whore of Babylon" was often identified with the [[ChristianityIsCatholic Catholic church]]. Then during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, the various Beasts were widely interpreted as Soviet states. American conservative believers in the 1980's, threatened by rivals to the USA emerging, seized on the idea that the European Union then had twelve member states, one for each head of the Beast. And so on, and so on...

Reworded Aesop. Added to Beware Nice Ones.

* AnAesop: The book is essentially a warning that evil, in the forms of beasts, whores, and even an anti-Christ, will have its hour, but God will triumph in the end, and whoever holds fast to Him will live forever with Him, and the joys of Heaven will make the worst experiences on Earth fade like a bad dream forgotten and never to be remembered again. Therefore, keep your eyes on the prize- no matter how bad it is right now, this too shall pass. John even specifically has Jesus mention churches who especially need to heed this message and internalize it.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Jesus first arrived in the Gospels, He was peaceful and showed forgiveness, but in Revelation 19:11-16, it's the complete opposite. {{Justified|Trope}} in that it's the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, and it's time for [[HumansAreSpecial every]][[HumansAreBastards one]] to get what's coming to them. This is still one of the elements that makes the entire book's place in Christian canon ''hotly'' debated, because [[LaterInstallmentWeirdness Christ is simply so different here compared to the rest of the New Testament]]. However, verses of apocalypse occur in the OT and Jesus mentions separating the sheep from the goat in the book of Matthew.

* MushroomSamba: One credible explanation for the more fantastical passages is based on St John of Patmos having been exiled to what amounted to a near-deserted desert island. Forced into a sort of solitary confinement, undernourished to the point of malnutrition, and in a place where what little food he could get may have been contaminated by ergot fungus (naturally occuring LSD), he was a man in an altered state of consciousness and went on an acid trip which he mistook as Divine Revelation.
