Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
States that the earth abides forever, contradicting the idea of the earth reeling like a drunkard and falling from Isaiah 24:20.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Contradiction with Psalm 119:90
Declares God's faithfulness to all generations and that the earth remains steady, contrasting with the instability of the earth in Isaiah 24:20.
Psalm 119:90: Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. [unto...: Heb. to generation and generation] [abideth: Heb. standeth]
Contradiction with Psalm 104:5
Claims that God laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be removed forever, contradicting the shaking and instability described in Isaiah 24:20.
Psalm 104:5: [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever. [Who...: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases]
Contradiction with Genesis 8:22
Assures that while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will not cease, suggesting continuity and stability unlike the upheaval in Isaiah 24:20.
Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. [While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35-36
Promises the permanence of the earth's ordinances, which opposes the imagery of the earth staggering and being in turmoil in Isaiah 24:20.
Jeremiah 31:35-36: 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:
Paradox #1
Isaiah 24:20 describes the Earth reeling like a drunkard and swaying like a hut under the weight of its transgressions. The contradiction here is that the Earth's motion, governed by gravitational forces and physical laws, cannot behave in this irregular manner due to sins or moral actions of its inhabitants. The description is metaphorical and not consistent with our understanding of Earth's physical behavior.
Paradox #2
Isaiah 24:20 talks about the earth shaking and a heavy burden of guilt. The moral conflict could be with the idea of collective punishment, where everyone on earth suffers due to widespread wrongdoing, rather than individuals being judged for their own actions. This might seem unfair to those who are innocent.
