Paradox #1

Some people think there's a conflict in how this verse suggests a challenge to divine authority. The verse implies actions against something very sacred, which can be seen as contradictory to the idea of an all-powerful deity maintaining control. This raises questions about how such a challenge is possible if divine authority is absolute.

Paradox #2

Daniel 8:11 might create confusion or inconsistency when trying to connect its description of the "abomination" and the action against the "daily sacrifice" with historical events. Interpreters debate if it aligns with events from the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the desecration of the Second Temple or if it refers to a future prophecy. These differing interpretations can lead to contradictions or inconsistencies.
