Contradiction with Matthew 24:21
This verse contradicts Revelation 12:14 by discussing great tribulation, whereas Revelation 12:14 speaks of a place prepared for safety and nourishment away from tribulation.
Matthew 24:21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 2:3
This verse speaks of a falling away and revelation of the man of sin before the end, contradicting the nurturing and protective imagery given in Revelation 12:14.
2 Thessalonians 2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Contradiction with Isaiah 33:16
It promises that those who walk righteously will dwell on high places safely, conflicting with Revelation 12:14's depiction of fleeing into the wilderness for safety.
Isaiah 33:16: He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure. [high: Heb. heights, or, high places]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 4:6
Contradicts by referring to impending disaster from the north, whereas Revelation 12:14 provides escape from a threat.
Jeremiah 4:6: Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. [retire: or, strengthen] [destruction: Heb. breaking]
Contradiction with Luke 21:36
Encourages vigilance and prayer to escape all things to stand before the Son of Man, but implies active effort rather than the provided safety mentioned in Revelation 12:14.
Luke 21:36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Paradox #1
The conflict could be seen in the protection and escape offered to a woman in the verse, while other parts of the Bible depict trials and suffering for believers. This might seem inconsistent with the idea that faith means facing struggles rather than escaping them.
