Contradiction with Matthew 5:9
This verse, which states "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God," contradicts with the concept of a war in heaven depicted in Revelation 12:7.
Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4
This verse describes a time when nations will beat their swords into plowshares and learn war no more, contrasting the heavenly battle in Revelation 12:7.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Contradiction with James 3:17-18
These verses highlight the wisdom from above as peaceful and gentle, which seems in contrast to the celestial conflict described in Revelation 12:7.
James 3:17-18: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [partiality: or, wrangling]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
This verse states "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace," potentially conflicting with the idea of conflict in heaven portrayed in Revelation 12:7.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
Contradiction with Romans 12:18
This verse encourages living peaceably with all men, contrasting with the warfare imagery present in Revelation 12:7.
Romans 12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Paradox #1
Revelation 12:7 describes a battle in heaven. A contradiction might arise for some people because heaven is typically viewed as a place of peace and harmony. The idea of a battle occurring there could seem inconsistent with those peaceful characteristics.
