Contradiction with Matthew 5:14
This verse states that a city set on a hill cannot be hidden, contrasting with Ezekiel 12:12 which describes an attempt to hide by digging through the wall and carrying out belongings as a matter of secrecy.
Matthew 5:14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Contradiction with John 18:20
Jesus claims to have spoken openly to the world and taught in synagogues and the temple where all Jews come together, which contradicts the secrecy of escaping at night in Ezekiel 12:12.
John 18:20: Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
Describes the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, emphasizing the suddenness and secrecy, contrasting with the forced escape and exposure described in Ezekiel 12:12.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Paradox #1
Ezekiel 12:12 describes an event involving a leader trying to escape through a wall. A possible contradiction could arise if this event doesn't align with known historical records of the time, such as timelines of sieges or the movements of specific leaders, making it difficult to verify the exact circumstances described. However, without direct historical evidence contradicting this event, it remains speculative.
