Contradiction with Isaiah 40:4
Zechariah 4:7 speaks of a mountain being made into a plain, while Isaiah 40:4 describes valleys being exalted and mountains brought low, implying a broader transformation rather than a singular leveling.
Isaiah 40:4: Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: [straight: or, a straight place] [plain: or, a plain place]
Contradiction with Matthew 17:20
Zechariah 4:7 talks about the mountain becoming a plain, emphasizing God's power, while Matthew 17:20 emphasizes faith as a personal power to move mountains, suggesting a different focus on faith rather than divine intervention alone.
Matthew 17:20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 51:25
Zechariah 4:7 depicts a mountain being leveled as a sign of God's triumph, while Jeremiah 51:25 describes a mountain as a destructive force meant for destruction, contradicting the peaceful imagery in Zechariah.
Jeremiah 51:25: Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
Contradiction with Psalm 121:1
Zechariah 4:7 refers to a mountain being overcome, while Psalm 121:1 looks to the hills for help, presenting mountains as a source of divine aid instead of an obstacle.
Psalm 121:1: [A Song of degrees.] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [I will...: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?]
