Contradiction with Exodus 34:14
Exodus 34:14 states that God is a jealous God, which may seem to contradict Zechariah 1:14 by emphasizing a broader, more general jealousy for His name or worship rather than the specific jealousy expressed for Jerusalem and Zion.
Exodus 34:14: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Contradiction with Acts 10:34
Acts 10:34 asserts that God shows no partiality, which seems to contradict Zechariah 1:14 where God is jealous for a specific group, Jerusalem and Zion, indicating partiality.
Acts 10:34: Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Contradiction with James 3:17
James 3:17 speaks of wisdom from above being impartial and sincere, potentially contradicting God’s expressed partiality and jealousy for Jerusalem and Zion seen in Zechariah 1:14.
James 3:17: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [partiality: or, wrangling]
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:8
Hebrews 13:8 notes that Jesus Christ is the same always, which might contradict Zechariah 1:14’s situational-specific jealousy for Jerusalem, suggesting changeable emotions or conditions in God’s approach at various times.
Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Contradiction with Colossians 3:11
Colossians 3:11 stresses there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, which could be seen as contradicting the specific favoritism towards Jerusalem and Zion conveyed in Zechariah 1:14.
Colossians 3:11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
Contradiction with John 3:16
John 3:16 speaks of God's love for the entire world, potentially contradicting the specific jealousy for Jerusalem and Zion as expressed in Zechariah 1:14, which implies a distinctive kind of attention or concern.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in Zechariah 1:14 could be about God's jealousy and anger. It presents a conflict for some readers who wonder how a loving and compassionate God can also be jealous and wrathful. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of a God who is forgiving and promotes peace.
