Contradiction with Genesis 1:16

This verse states that God created the stars to give light upon the earth, which contrasts with the stars falling to the earth as described in Revelation 6:13.

Genesis 1:16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. [to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.]

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35

It describes the stability of the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars, which seems contradictory to the chaotic falling of stars in Revelation 6:13.

Contradiction with Psalm 148:3-6

Psalm 148:3-6: Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Paradox #1

The main contradiction or conflict with Revelation 6:13 could be its symbolic or apocalyptic imagery that doesn't match with scientific understanding. This verse describes stars falling to the earth, which is not possible as stars are massive celestial bodies much larger than Earth. This description is often interpreted as symbolic rather than literal, which can conflict with a factual, scientific perspective.

Paradox #2

Revelation 6:13 describes stars falling from the sky to the earth, which contradicts our scientific understanding because stars are massive celestial bodies, many times larger than the Earth. If a star were to approach Earth, it would likely destroy the planet long before "falling" onto it. This imagery conflicts with the physical realities of astronomy and the size of stars relative to Earth.
