Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
This verse suggests that time and chance govern human events, whereas Revelation 11:17 attributes all power and control to God.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with James 1:13
This verse states that God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does He tempt anyone, contrasting with the implication in Revelation 11:17 of God’s absolute authority over all occurrences, including judgment.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29
Here, God is described as one who doesn’t change His mind, which may seem in conflict with the exercise of wrath and judgment implied in Revelation 11:17.
1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
Contradiction with Hosea 11:8-9
This verse presents God as compassionate, reluctant to execute fierce anger, which contrasts with the depiction in Revelation of God's wrath being enacted.
Hosea 11:8-9: How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 20:6
While this verse acknowledges God’s power over all kingdoms, it emphasizes God’s steadfast love, which can seem in tension with Revelation 11:17’s focus on His power to reign and judge.
2 Chronicles 20:6: And said, O LORD God of our fathers, [art] not thou God in heaven? and rulest [not] thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand [is there not] power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
Paradox #1
Revelation 11:17 talks about God's eternal reign. A contradiction or conflict might arise from differing interpretations of when God's kingdom is fully established on Earth, as various religious traditions and groups might have different timelines or understanding of this event. Additionally, there might be inconsistencies with other biblical texts regarding the nature and timing of God's reign.
