Contradiction with Matthew 5:9

Paradox #1
The conflict with Daniel 7:8 might arise from the symbols and imagery it uses, particularly the "little horn." Different theological interpretations could see this symbol in various ways, creating inconsistency about what or who it represents. Some might view it as a historical figure, while others see it as a future prophecy, leading to varied understandings within religious traditions.
