Contradiction with Matthew 7:13
This verse describes a broad way leading to destruction, suggesting a path open to all rather than judgment executed specifically upon the beast and false prophet as in Revelation 19:20.
Matthew 7:13: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [strait: or, narrow]
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
Emphasizes that God is love, which contrasts with the depiction of wrath and judgment executed upon the beast and false prophet.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:7
Offers a perspective of mercy and abundant pardon on repentance, which seems at odds with the finality of judgment without mention of repentance.
Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity] [abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon]
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32
Declares God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, contrasting with the implication of divine judgment pleasure in Revelation 19:20.
Ezekiel 18:32: For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye. [yourselves: or, others]
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
Highlights God's patience and desire for everyone to come to repentance, contrasting with the immediate judgment on the beast and false prophet.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with John 3:17
States that God sent his Son to save the world, not to condemn it, which contradicts the condemnation seen in Revelation 19:20.
John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Contradiction with Luke 9:56
Describes Jesus’s mission to save lives, not destroy them, contrary to the destruction in Revelation 19:20.
Luke 9:56: For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.
Paradox #1
The scientific conflict with the content of Revelation 19:20 could involve the concept of supernatural entities and events, such as miraculous divine interventions, which do not align with scientific understanding and methods. Science relies on observable, testable, and natural explanations for events, while the verse involves elements beyond scientific explanation.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Revelation 19:20 might arise from the interpretation of divine justice and mercy. Some might see a conflict between the harsh punishment described and the concept of a merciful and forgiving God, as it portrays a definitive and severe judgment without apparent opportunity for redemption.
