Check out Contradictions Catalog of Ezekiel 1:19 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Ezekiel 1:19. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Ezekiel, the living creatures and the wheels moved together, like when you move your toys and the wheels turn with them. It's like the creatures and wheels were buddies, always going up and down at the same time.

Ezekiel 1:19: And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Contradiction with Revelation 4:8

This verse describes the living creatures as having six wings, whereas Ezekiel 1:19 involves creatures with four faces moving in unison with the wheels, which implies a different visual and operational mechanism.

Revelation 4:8: And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. [rest...: Gr. have no rest]

Contradiction with Isaiah 6:2

This verse describes seraphim with six wings, which contrasts with the description of the living creatures moving with wheels as seen in Ezekiel 1:19, suggesting a different type of heavenly being.

Isaiah 6:2: Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 10:16

While similar to Ezekiel 1:19, this verse introduces a different context and purpose for the movement of the living creatures, which may contradict the unity and directionality described earlier in Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 10:16: And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

Contradiction with Genesis 3:24

Describes cherubim guarding the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword, whereas Ezekiel 1:19 describes beings associated with wheels and coordinated movement, contradicting their stationary guarding role.

Genesis 3:24: So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Contradiction with Daniel 7:9

Describes the thrones being cast down and the Ancient of Days taking a seat, which contrasts with the movement of the living creatures and the wheels emphasized in Ezekiel 1:19.

Daniel 7:9: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
