Contradiction with Matthew 5:17
This verse states that Jesus came not to destroy the law or the prophets, which can contradict the idea of measuring the temple as a symbol of judgment or destruction.
Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:1
This verse mentions the law having a shadow of good things to come, contradicting the physical measurement of a temple, which is an old covenant concept.
Hebrews 10:1: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Contradiction with John 2:19
Jesus refers to His body as the temple, contradicting the physical measurement of a temple building.
John 2:19: Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict with Revelation 11:1 could involve the description of the temple. Some believe there is an inconsistency because, by the time the Book of Revelation was believed to be written (around 95 AD), the Second Temple in Jerusalem had already been destroyed in 70 AD. This raises questions about what temple is being measured or if the imagery is symbolic rather than literal.
