Contradiction with Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." This verse emphasizes peacemaking, which contradicts the violence and turmoil associated with the taxation and inherent conflicts mentioned in Daniel 11:20.
Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This advises trusting in divine guidance, which contrasts with Daniel 11:20's focus on human political schemes and burdens.
Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4
"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." This prophecy of future peace contrasts with the conflict and themes of power struggles described in Daniel 11:20.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Contradiction with Romans 13:1
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." It suggests divine sanction for rulers, contrasting with the fate of the ruler in Daniel 11:20 who meets an “inglorious” end not seemingly ordained by God.
Romans 13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [ordained: or, ordered]
Contradiction with Luke 6:35
"But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." The notion of kindness to adversaries conflicts with the depiction of political manipulation and sudden downfall in Daniel 11:20.
Luke 6:35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
