Could 'overtone thinking' as you put it, especially about the book of Revelation lend itself to possibly adding to or taking away from it? (Rev. 22:18-19).
It is a difficult question to answer for me personally because we are all endeavoring to understand this exciting book - and some of us with a blessing in mind (Rev. 1:3, 22:7).
I do know that Peter said no scripture is open to private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20) which adds another layer of protection / difficulty (depending on how you look at that) to the student of the prophecies of this Apocalyptic book.
The symbols can only represent a very finite number of things (individuals, entities, nations, systems) and therefore help to pinpoint proper interpretation. In either case John's reiteration (1 John 2:27) of what the Lord promised to His disciples (i.e. the the Holy Ghost would teach us all things John 14:26) would be helpful additions to ones studies of 'The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ'.
