Contradiction with John 18:36
Jesus states that his kingdom is not of this world, implying a spiritual dominion rather than a universal and everlasting earthly dominion described in Daniel 7:14.
John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Contradiction with Luke 4:6-7
Satan claims to have authority over the kingdoms of the world, suggesting a contradiction since Daniel 7:14 describes dominion given to the Son of Man.
Luke 4:6-7: And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:24
States that Christ will deliver the kingdom to God after putting down all rule and authority, contrasting with the eternal dominion mentioned in Daniel 7:14.
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 John 6:15
Jesus withdrew when people wanted to make him king, which contrasts with the expectation of earthly dominion in Daniel 7:14.
John 6:15: When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
Contradiction with Matthew 4:8-10
Jesus refuses the offer of all the kingdoms of the world, presenting a disconnect with receiving universal dominion as in Daniel 7:14.
Matthew 4:8-10: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Contradiction with Revelation 11:15
Describes future dominion of God's kingdom on earth in a manner that seems distinct from the present actuality in Daniel 7:14.
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.
Paradox #1
Daniel 7:14 describes an everlasting dominion and kingdom given to one like a "son of man," which Christians interpret as Jesus. A potential contradiction could arise when this is compared to other parts of the Bible that speak about God's kingdom. Some might see a conflict between the Old Testament view of God's direct rule and the New Testament view of Jesus having a unique role in God's kingdom, raising questions about the nature of the relationship between Jesus and God. However, many theological interpretations aim to harmonize these perspectives.
Paradox #2
Daniel 7:14 talks about a figure having an everlasting dominion and worship across all nations. However, some people might see a conflict with other parts of the Bible where God is described as having no beginning and no end, while this dominion is given at a specific point in time. Others debate the concept of a human-like figure receiving such power, which might seem to conflict with verses emphasizing monotheism.
Paradox #3
The potential contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea of eternal dominion or authority over all peoples, which might clash with modern values of equality, democracy, and self-determination. In contemporary society, the notion of one ruler or authority having absolute and everlasting control might be seen as inconsistent with the belief in freedom and individual rights.
