I think the bible quotations displayed on hand drawn signs in the trading post reinforce some of your interpretations.

Edit to add quotations seen on trading post wall (seen in the clip beginning at 33:30 and elsewhere in your video):

Psalm 149:7 (KJV) To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

Isaiah 26:19 (KJV) Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2026&version=KJV

There is another partially visible on the wall to the left of Nobody. It appears to read:
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
which is Isaiah 27:7, but the attribution on the sign appears to read Proverbs 27:7.
