Contradiction with Matthew 24:42
This verse emphasizes the importance of watching and being ready because the Lord's coming will be unexpected, which does not explicitly contradict, but rather complements the message of preparedness in Revelation 16:15.
Matthew 24:42: Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
It describes the day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night, highlighting unexpectedness rather than the blessedness of being watchful.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with Luke 21:36
Urges believers to watch and pray always to be accounted worthy to escape tribulations, emphasizing prayer, potentially contrasting Revelation 16:15's focus on blessedness for those who watch and keep their garments.
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.
Contradiction with Revelation 3:3
Advises remembering, holding fast, and repenting to avoid being caught off guard, combining themes of remembrance and repentance with readiness, adding different dimensions beyond Revelation 16:15's focus.
Revelation 3:3: Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Contradiction with Matthew 25:13
Tells to watch because we do not know the hour, underscoring the unknown timing which complements rather than directly contradicts the focus on being blessed for watching in Revelation 16:15.
Matthew 25:13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
