Contradiction with John 14:28
Jesus states "my Father is greater than I" suggesting a hierarchy, whereas Revelation 22:13 asserts equality in the statements "I am Alpha and Omega."
John 14:28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Contradiction with Mark 13:32
Jesus acknowledges limitations in knowledge, saying "neither the Son, but the Father" knows the hour, while Revelation 22:13 suggests timelessness and omniscience.
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 1 Corinthians 15:28
Describes a future where the Son is subject to "him that put all things under him," indicating subordination, unlike the declaration of independent divinity in Revelation 22:13.
1 Corinthians 15:28: And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Contradiction with John 5:19
Jesus says, "The Son can do nothing of himself," implying dependence, whereas Revelation 22:13 proclaims absolute authority.
John 5:19: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Contradiction with Luke 22:42
Jesus prays for the Father's will over his own, showing submission, contrasting with the autonomy implied in Revelation 22:13.
Luke 22:42: Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. [willing, remove: Gr. willing to remove]
Paradox #1
The potential theological conflict with this verse could be in its assertion of timelessness and eternal nature. Some might argue that this contradicts human understanding of time and existence, or poses challenges in reconciling with other religious beliefs about creation and eternity. However, interpretations vary widely, and many see these contradictions as matters of faith rather than logical inconsistencies.
