Contradiction with Genesis 1:1
Daniel 5:24 mentions God's direct intervention through writing on the wall, while Genesis 1:1 begins with the creation of the universe, highlighting God's power as creator rather than a direct communicator through signs.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29
This verse states that God does not lie or change His mind, implying a sense of continuity and consistency, while Daniel 5:24 shows an unexpected divine intervention.
1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
Contradiction with Matthew 4:7
Jesus says not to test God, which could be seen as contrasting with the dramatic sign given in Daniel 5:24 as a form of testing or challenging Belshazzar.
Matthew 4:7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [tempt: or, try, or, put to trial, or, proof]
Contradiction with John 1:18
John states no one has seen God, yet in Daniel 5:24, God's direct communication through writing is a visible sign of His presence.
John 1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:8
This verse states that Jesus is the same forever, emphasizing divine consistency, while Daniel 5:24 reflects God intervening in a unique and dramatic fashion specific to the circumstances.
Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
