Contradiction with Matthew 25:46
While Ezekiel 26:20 refers to being "set... in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old," indicating eternal desolation, this verse speaks of everlasting punishment for the wicked, implying a different nature of afterlife consequences.
Matthew 25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Contradiction with John 5:28-29
Ezekiel 26:20 suggests a finality in being put in a low place, contrasting with this verse, which discusses a future resurrection of all who are in the graves.
John 5:28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Contradiction with Revelation 20:13
Ezekiel 26:20 implies being hidden permanently, whereas this verse describes the sea and death giving up the dead, indicating a release from their holding places.
Revelation 20:13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. [hell: or, the grave]
Contradiction with Daniel 12:2
This verse speaks of many awakening from the dust to everlasting life or contempt, contradicting the finality suggested in Ezekiel 26:20 of remaining in a desolate place.
Daniel 12:2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:52
It contradicts Ezekiel 26:20's picture of dwelling in a low part of the earth with the promise of a sudden changing and resurrection to incorruptibility.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Paradox #1
The claim involves the assertion about the history and fate of the city of Tyre, which may be seen as inconsistent with historical records. Historical accounts suggest that Tyre continued to exist and thrive, particularly under Roman rule, which contradicts the portrayal of its complete destruction.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction in this verse could be the portrayal of divine judgment and destruction. On one hand, it shows a powerful deity asserting justice. On the other hand, the harshness of the punishment may seem inconsistent with ideas of mercy and forgiveness. This can raise questions about the balance between justice and compassion.
