Contradiction with Matthew 5:18
In Matthew 5:18, it is stated that not the smallest letter will disappear from the law until everything is accomplished, contrasting with the notion of the heavens departing as described in Revelation 6:14.
Matthew 5:18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:5
Psalm 104:5 emphasizes the earth being established forever, which contradicts the imagery in Revelation 6:14 where the earth is shaken and the heavens are moved.
Psalm 104:5: [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever. [Who...: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
Ecclesiastes 1:4 speaks of the earth abiding forever, which contradicts the cataclysmic upheaval depicted in Revelation 6:14.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Paradox #1
The description of the sky vanishing in Revelation 6:14 might seem to contradict other biblical passages where the earth is described as enduring forever, such as in Ecclesiastes 1:4. The apparent inconsistency lies in the portrayal of the end of the physical universe versus its enduring nature.
Paradox #2
The contradiction, inconsistency, or conflict with Revelation 6:14 might come from interpretations of cosmic and apocalyptic events, which can be seen as symbolic rather than literal. This can lead to different understandings of whether these events are meant to represent actual historical occurrences or metaphorical, spiritual truths, creating varying interpretations across different Christian denominations and scholars.
Paradox #3
Revelation 6:14 talks about the heavens being rolled up like a scroll. The contradiction here is that the sky cannot be rolled up like a scroll because it is not a physical object, but rather the appearance of the atmosphere and space above Earth. In science, the sky is made up of gases and the vast expanse of space, which do not behave like a scroll or any physical sheet that can be rolled up.
