    I think they are misunderstood. The Book of Revelation was written as a message to hope to the small group of Christians who were being oppressed by the Romans. It was hope that they would be liberated and freed and their oppressors would be punished. So I don't read into it a whole lot as a . I kind of loosely take a message of hope out of it (and some wicked metaphors). Paris is right, Milton is a better read.
