Paradox #1
Ezekiel 39:18 may present a contradiction or conflict because it describes a scenario where animals are invited to feast on the bodies of fallen warriors. This can be seen as inconsistent with the view of valuing human life and dignity. Some people might find it difficult to reconcile the image of using bodies in such a way with a message that promotes compassion and respect for life.
