Contradiction with Matthew 24:35
Daniel 11:45 implies a finite end to a king, whereas Matthew emphasizes the eternal nature of Jesus's words and reign, hinting at an everlasting kingdom.
Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Contradiction with Romans 13:1
Daniel 11:45 depicts a strong earthly power coming to an end, while Romans 13:1 implies authorities are established by God and one wouldn't simply fall without divine purpose.
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 2 Peter 3:10
Daniel 11:45 portrays a specific earthly conflict and resolution, whereas 2 Peter describes the end times with cosmic destruction, not with a simple earthly defeat.
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 Revelation 11:15
Daniel 11:45 suggests the end of a kingdom, contrasting with Revelation's assertion of Christ's kingdom prevailing forever.
Revelation 11:15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Contradiction with Isaiah 9:7
Daniel 11:45 hints at the end of a regime, while Isaiah speaks of God's government having no end, suggesting divine reality continues regardless of earthly powers.
Isaiah 9:7: Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Paradox #1
The contradiction with Daniel 11:45 could be that it predicts a specific event that does not align well with known historical events or figures. The verse may refer to a king establishing his palace in a specific location and meeting his end there, but historical records do not clearly match this scenario with any known king or event, leading to debate among scholars.
