Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
While Revelation 11:7 speaks of the two witnesses being overpowered by the beast, Matthew 5:39 emphasizes non-resistance to evil by turning the other cheek, suggesting a more passive approach.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Romans 12:21
Revelation 11:7 involves overcoming and defeating, whereas Romans 12:21 encourages overcoming evil with good, presenting a non-violent resolution.
Romans 12:21: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Contradiction with Isaiah 54:17
This verse promises protection from any weapon formed against God's servants, which contrasts with the death of the two witnesses in Revelation 11:7.
Isaiah 54:17: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with John 16:33
Jesus' words about having overcome the world contrast with the defeat of the witnesses in Revelation 11:7.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Paradox #1
Revelation 11:7 describes a situation where the two witnesses are killed by a beast. One potential contradiction or conflict is the idea of good, righteous figures being defeated by evil, especially when people believe that good should ultimately prevail over evil. This can lead to confusion about why bad things happen to good people or righteous figures.
