Check out Contradictions Catalog of Ezekiel 12:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Ezekiel 12:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Ezekiel, God is saying that people will stop listening to people telling them nice things that aren't true, and they won't believe in false messages anymore. God wants everyone to know what's real and true.

Ezekiel 12:24: For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:16

This verse warns against listening to false prophets who speak visions of their own heart, rather than from the Lord, suggesting that false visions do occur, contrasting with Ezekiel 12:24 which claims they will no longer happen.

Jeremiah 23:16: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.

Contradiction with Zechariah 13:3

This verse speaks of a time when false prophets will be punished or even killed by their own parents, which implies that false visions were still prevalent, contradicting the idea that they will cease as stated in Ezekiel 12:24.

Zechariah 13:3: And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

Contradiction with 2 Peter 2:1

This verse mentions false prophets and teachers among the people, indicating the continuation of false visions in contradiction to Ezekiel 12:24 which indicates they will end.

2 Peter 2:1: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Contradiction with Matthew 24:24

This verse predicts the rise of false Christs and false prophets performing great signs and wonders, which conflicts with Ezekiel 12:24's assertion that false visions would cease.

Matthew 24:24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Paradox #1

Ezekiel 12:24 mentions that false visions and flattering divinations will no longer exist. A potential contradiction might arise when considering other parts of the Bible where false prophecies are said to continue or exist, such as warnings about false prophets in the New Testament. This could create an inconsistency about when or if false prophecies ever fully end.
