Contradiction with John 5:28-29
These verses speak of a future resurrection of the dead, which contrasts with Ezekiel 37:13's concept of knowing the Lord when He opens graves and brings people out, implying immediate understanding rather than a future event.
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 Hebrews 9:27
This verse states that people are appointed to die once, and face judgment afterward, suggesting a finality to death that could contradict the idea of graves being opened and a subsequent physical restoration described in Ezekiel 37:13.
Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Contradiction with Job 7:9-10
These verses indicate that once a person descends to the grave, they do not return, which opposes the imagery of graves opening and people being brought back to life seen in Ezekiel 37:13.
Job 7:9-10: [As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no [more].
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
This verse claims the dead know nothing, which contradicts the imagery and consequence of awareness in Ezekiel 37:13, where opening graves results in people knowing the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
This verse talks about dead people not living again, contrasting with the resurrection implication in Ezekiel 37:13 where the opening of graves signifies revival and recognition of God.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Paradox #1
The verse describes a miraculous event that involves bringing people back to life, which conflicts with scientific understanding. Science cannot currently explain or reproduce such events, as they contradict the known laws of biology and medicine, where death is considered irreversible.
