Contradiction with Isaiah 40:28
Describes God as everlasting and does not faint, yet Revelation 1:17 shows Jesus falling as dead, conflicting in depiction of divine strength.

Contradiction with John 1:18
Claims no man has seen God, yet Revelation 1:17 portrays John seeing a divine figure, which contradicts the idea of God's invisibility.
John 1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
States God is not a man that He should lie or repent, but Revelation 1:17 implies a divine-human duality in Jesus, presenting a conceptual conflict.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Exodus 33:20
Asserts that no one can see God's face and live, contrasting with Revelation 1:17 where John's vision of Jesus does not result in death.
