* NamesTheSame: The monster known as Rahab shares its name with [[MissKitty a foreign prostitute]] from the Literature/BookOfJudges who hid the Israelite spies and is commended for doing so. Other than the name, they have nothing in common.
** Also, there's a wannabe {{High Priest}}ess named Jezebel, who shares her name with King Ahab's queen from the Literature/BooksOfKings. Like the original, she attempts to promote the worship of pagan gods, and isn't afraid to destroy anyone who stands in her way.

* {{Applicability}}: As the only book of the Bible about the future, the events depicted are really confusing and each have dozens of interpretations. Loads of fiction thus loves to call attention to elements of Revelation in their story, though usually just the most well known elements like Armageddon, the Antichrist, and demons.
