Contradiction with Daniel 8:18
While Daniel 8:5 describes the goat moving without touching the ground, Daniel 8:18 shows Daniel being in a deep sleep and touched by Gabriel, contrasting activity with inactivity.
Daniel 8:18: Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. [set...: Heb. made me stand upon my standing]
Contradiction with Daniel 2:34
Daniel 2:34 depicts a stone striking the image, contrasting with the movement and swiftness of the goat in Daniel 8:5, which is uninterrupted and unhindered.
Daniel 2:34: Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. [without...: or, which was not in hands]
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:31
This verse talks about renewing strength and mounting up with wings as eagles, which contrasts with the goat in Daniel 8:5 moving swiftly without wings.
Isaiah 40:31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. [renew: Heb. change]
Contradiction with Matthew 26:41
Here, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak; contrasting with the goat in Daniel 8:5, which demonstrates sheer and unhindered power.
Matthew 26:41: He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Contradiction with Psalm 37:9
This verse promises that evildoers shall be cut off, which contrasts with the victorious advance of the goat in Daniel 8:5 without such hindrance.
Psalm 37:9: For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
Time and chance happen to all, which is contrary to the swift, certain progress of the goat in Daniel 8:5.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
