* CompleteMonster: [[ManipulativeBastard Haman the Agagite]], from the ''Literature/BookOfEsther'', one of the archetypal [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain anti-Semites]] in Jewish folklore, is a [[EvilChancellor vizier]] under Emperor Ahasuerus (Xerxes) whose ambition and ego know no bounds. Haman is introduced forcing citizens to [[KneelBeforeZod bow to him]]; when a fellow advisor, Mordecai the Judean, refuses to bow to him--possibly on account of Haman embroidering a graven image into his clothing--Haman plots a [[FinalSolution genocide]] against Persian Jewry as a whole, manipulating the emperor into giving him his signet so that he may write it into law. When Mordecai still refuses to bow to him, Haman builds a gallows on which he intends to hang the latter.

** ''Literature/BookOfJudges'': [[EvilOverlord King Abimelech]], the archetypal BastardBastard in literature, [[TyrantTakesTheHelm rose to power]] following the death of his good-hearted father Judge Gideon by [[SiblingMurder having 69 of his own brothers killed]]. As ruler, Abimelech organizes wars of conquest and enacts atrocities to keep the Israelites under his control, most notably having a thousand civilians burned alive to suppress an uprising in Shechem. When the people of Thebez revolt against his cruel rule, Abimelech attempts to raze their shelter to the ground. Vain and petty until the very end, Abimelech, upon being mortally wounded by one of the women he was trying to immolate, orders his aide to impale him with a sword in a futile effort to create the illusion that he died bravely in battle and [[IWasBeatenByAGirl not by the hands of a woman]].

* ValuesResonance: Even going all the way back to the Old Testament, the Bible repeatedly mentioning its readers to protect and cherish vulnerable members of its society such as widows and orphans - two of the most outcast groups in any society. Its method of doing so is... questionable, but the very idea alone is extreme revolutionary for its day that still resonate to today.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Book of Revelation is pretty trippy, man. It's definitely the [[MindScrew strangest and most surreal]] book in the Bible. Some people have suggested he was actually under the influence of volcanic fumes (like the Sibyl or the Oracle of Delphi). Others think he was simply trying to record events, places, beings, and substances he was shown but just could not understand.

** "Biblically accurate" angels have become a common joke among some modern readers on the internet. In the texts there is a hierarchy of angels, in the lowest ranks they are [[WingedHumanoid more human-like in appearance]], meanwhile in the highest ranks they are {{angelic abomination}}s, the latter is often compared to many monsters originating from Creator/HPLovecraft's works.

* MandelaEffect: Many people remember a Bible verse saying that the "lion shall lie down with the lamb". This phrase doesn't appear in any translation of the Bible. The closest equivalent is Isiah 11:6, which starts with "and the '''wolf''' shall dwell with the lamb". As the rest of the verse says "and the leopard shall ''lie down with'' the kid; and the calf and the young ''lion'' and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them" it's possible people are just getting the different animals mentioned in the verse mixed up.
