Contradiction with Matthew 24:36
This verse explains that no one knows the day or hour of judgment, contradicting the definitive arrival of the great day mentioned in Revelation 6:17.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
This verse suggests that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night, implying unpredictability, which contradicts the apparent certainty in Revelation 6:17.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
This verse states that the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, contradicting the anticipated nature of the day referred to in Revelation 6:17.
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Contradiction with Mark 13:32
Similar to Matthew 24:36, this verse indicates that no one knows the timing of the end, including Jesus and angels, which contradicts the certainty in Revelation 6:17.
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 Acts 1:7
This verse states that it is not for humans to know the times or seasons that God has fixed by His own authority, contradicting the knowledge claimed in Revelation 6:17.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Paradox #1
Revelation 6:17 talks about the "great day" of wrath and who can stand against it. A potential contradiction could be the idea of a loving and forgiving God enacting severe judgment and wrath, which can seem inconsistent with the concept of mercy and compassion often emphasized in other parts of the Bible.
