I have a clue for you...
Matthew 13:34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them; 35 that there might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet who said: “I will open my mouth with illustrations, I will publish things hidden since the founding.”

Various characters in Revelation are symbolic. There isnt going to be any literal woman drunk on the blood of saints. Theyre talking about nations that delight in defying God and terrorizing his people.

Here's a prime example, where Jesus was talking about a spiritual and not a physical reality.
John 6:54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
Jesus goes on to explain.
John 6:61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

Everything with clearly simbolic language:
The first chapters of Genesis, some psalms, some stories told by Jesus in the Gospels (in portugese its "parabolas" i don't know the name in english)

Mark 9:47
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell...
And I will not be popular for this one, but:
Proverbs 23:14
Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.

Mathew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
You would have to be an idiot to gouge out your eye and cut off your hand
There are lots more also
