Contradiction with Revelation 11:15
Revelation 11:15 suggests that the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord without destruction.
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 Matthew 24:35
This verse states that heaven and earth shall pass away but implies a continuity that contrasts the eternal kingdom in Daniel 2:44.
Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:24
This verse describes a sequence of events leading to the end, whereas Daniel 2:44 implies the kingdom will be established forever from that point.
1 Corinthians 15:24: Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
It describes a future destruction of the heavens and the earth, contrasting the everlasting kingdom described in Daniel 2:44.
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 Hebrews 12:28
This speaks of receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, implying it is not already established like Daniel 2:44 suggests.
Hebrews 12:28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: [let...: or, let us hold fast]
Paradox #1
One potential contradiction is that the prophecy about a kingdom that will crush all others and stand forever has not visibly manifested in history as a single, unified global entity. Some interpret this as symbolic or not yet fulfilled, which creates a tension with the expectation of a literal historical fulfillment.
Paradox #2
The verse involves the idea of an eternal kingdom established by a divine power. The scientific inconsistency here can be related to the concept of eternity, as scientific understanding is based on observable and measurable phenomena, and does not typically encompass eternal or supernatural events, which cannot be studied or verified through scientific methods. Thus, the idea of a divine, everlasting kingdom is more a matter of faith and belief, not science.
