Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction in this verse because it suggests that God reveals His plans to prophets before doing anything. However, others might argue that there are instances in the Bible where God acts without any prior revelation to prophets, making it seem inconsistent. Additionally, some might question the need for prophecy if God's plans are ultimately mysterious or beyond human understanding.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a conflict in how this verse suggests that God's plans are always revealed to prophets. However, there are instances in the Bible where events occur without prior revelation or prophecy, leading to questions about whether every divine plan was indeed communicated beforehand. This could be seen as an inconsistency in the narrative.
Paradox #3
Some people might see a conflict because Amos 3:7 suggests that God reveals His plans to prophets before doing anything. Yet, there are other moments in the Bible where unexpected events happen without prior warning, or where God's plans seem hidden. This could seem inconsistent with the idea that everything is always revealed first.
