Check out Contradictions Catalog of Revelation 1:15 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Revelation 1:15. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to John, Jesus' feet are shiny and strong like metal that has been made very hot, and His voice is loud and powerful like the sound of big waves in the ocean.

Revelation 1:15: And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Contradiction with Daniel 7:9

This verse describes the Ancient of Days with "his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool", focusing on whiteness and purity which is a contrast to the description of "his feet like unto fine brass" in Revelation 1:15 suggesting a different manifestation.

Daniel 7:9: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 1:7

In this vision, the creatures have feet "like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass," which while similar with brass-like appearance, highlights differences in context and form compared to the imagery of Christ's feet.

Ezekiel 1:7: And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. [straight...: Heb. a straight foot]

Contradiction with Matthew 17:2

In this transfiguration account, Jesus’ face shines like the sun and his clothes become white as light, focusing on brightness and lightness, contrasting with the emphasis on a brass-like, burning presence in Revelation 1:15.

Matthew 17:2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Paradox #1
