According to Daniel, the tree in the dream was super big and strong, so big that everyone on Earth could see it, and it touched the sky. Christians often think of it as a picture of how powerful King Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom was.

Daniel 4:11: The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

Contradiction with Genesis 7:19

This verse describes the flood covering all the high mountains under the whole heaven, suggesting a limit to the earth's height that contradicts the verse in Daniel describing a tree reaching to heaven.

Genesis 7:19: And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:22

This verse describes God sitting above the circle of the earth, suggesting a perspective that does not align with a singular tree reaching unto heaven and visible to the ends of the earth as in Daniel 4:11.

Isaiah 40:22: [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [It is...: or, Him that]

Paradox #1

The contradiction in that verse could be related to the description of a tree being so large that it is visible to the entire earth.
