Contradictions and Paradoxes in Daniel 7:12

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Daniel 7:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Daniel 7:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Daniel, this means that even though the animals lost their power, they were allowed to live for a little while longer. It shows that, sometimes, things might change, but God still has a plan.

Daniel 7:12: As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. [their lives...: Chaldee, a prolonging in life was given them]

Contradiction with Matthew 24:35

This verse states that "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away," which contrasts with the notion of dominion being taken away but lives prolonged as seen in Daniel 7:12, suggesting a more final end rather than prolonging.

Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Contradiction with Revelation 21:1

It describes a new heaven and a new earth, implying the end of the old order, which contradicts the preservation and prolonging of life beyond dominion described in Daniel 7:12.

Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Contradiction with Isaiah 65:17

This verse talks about the creation of new heavens and a new earth, where the former things will not be remembered—opposing the concept of prolonging life in their current state found in Daniel 7:12.

Isaiah 65:17: For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. [come...: Heb. come upon the heart]

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:26

Here, it mentions the last enemy to be destroyed is death, which contrasts with Daniel 7:12 where dominion is taken away but lives are prolonged, implying an extension rather than an end.

1 Corinthians 15:26: The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-34

Discusses the creation of a new covenant and a transformative relationship with God, which conflicts with the notion of merely prolonging the lives of these beasts without transformation, as seen in Daniel 7:12.

Jeremiah 31:31-34: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in Daniel 7:12 could relate to the idea of some kingdoms or powers losing their dominion while still being allowed to exist for a while. This might raise questions about justice or fairness, as it could seem inconsistent with immediate accountability for one's actions. However, interpretations vary widely, and some might not see a conflict at all.
