Contradiction with Genesis 1:16
While Ezekiel 32:7 speaks of darkening lights, Genesis 1:16 indicates God created the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light for the night.
Genesis 1:16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. [to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.]
Contradiction with Psalm 136:9
In contrast to Ezekiel 32:7 suggesting darkness, Psalm 136:9 praises the moon and stars for giving light at night.
Psalm 136:9: The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35
Contradicts Ezekiel 32:7 by affirming God's decree for the sun to give light by day and the moon and stars by night.
Jeremiah 31:35: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Isaiah 60:19-20
Opposes Ezekiel 32:7's theme of darkness, indicating God will be an everlasting light, negating the need for the sun or moon's illumination.
Isaiah 60:19-20: The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Contradiction with Revelation 21:23
Contradicts Ezekiel 32:7's dark imagery, stating the city had no need for the sun or moon because the glory of God lightens it.
Revelation 21:23: And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in that verse could relate to the imagery used, such as astronomical events like covering the heavens and darkening the stars, which might not align with recorded natural events or observed phenomena from historical or scientific perspectives. People may question whether such events could literally occur.
Paradox #2
This verse talks about darkening the sun and covering it with clouds. Scientifically, the sun cannot be physically covered with clouds in a way that affects it on a cosmic scale. Clouds only affect visibility from Earth's surface, not the sun itself.
