Contradiction with Matthew 24:36
Revelation 16:16 refers to the gathering at Armageddon, implying a significant end-time battle, but Matthew 24:36 states that no one knows the day or hour of the end times, suggesting unpredictability rather than a specific prophesied event.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
This passage describes the day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night, emphasizing sudden surprise rather than the forewarned and prepared battle at Armageddon in Revelation 16:16.
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with Mark 13:32
Similar to Matthew 24:36, it emphasizes that no one knows the timing of end-time events, contrasting with the specificity of the gathering for battle at Armageddon.
Mark 13:32: But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
This verse states that it is not for humans to know times or seasons set by God’s own authority, which seems to contradict the planned and described event at Armageddon in Revelation 16:16.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
This verse discusses the day of the Lord coming unexpectedly, like a thief, in contrast to the anticipated and predicted battle in Revelation 16:16.
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
