Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4

This talks about nations not lifting sword against nation and not learning war anymore, contradicting Revelation 19:11 which describes a scene of righteous warfare.

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 John 12:47

Here, Jesus mentions He came not to judge the world but to save the world, which contrasts with the image of judgment and war in Revelation 19:11.

John 12:47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Contradiction with Romans 12:18

This verse advises to live peaceably with all men, which contrasts with the notion of war depicted in Revelation 19:11.

Romans 12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Contradiction with Micah 4:3

Similar to Isaiah 2:4, it speaks of beating swords into plowshares, indicating peace rather than war, in contrast to Revelation 19:11.

Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]

Paradox #1

This verse portrays a figure associated with justice and warfare. The possible contradiction might arise from the tension between the promotion of peace and the depiction of divine justice involving conflict or war. In many religious contexts, peace is valued, yet this verse seems to depict a scenario where war or conflict is a means to achieve justice. This may conflict with the idea of achieving peace or justice through non-violent means.
