Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Daniel 9:25 arises from the timing given for the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the coming of an anointed one. The dates and historical events mentioned do not always align clearly with known historical records or timelines, leading to confusion or debate over which historical figures and events fit the prophecy.
Paradox #2
Numerical contradictions or inconsistencies related to Daniel 9:25 often revolve around interpreting the timeline of "seventy weeks" or "sevens" that predict future events. People debate about the exact starting point and the real-world events that these time periods refer to, leading to different conclusions about when significant events, like the coming of the Anointed One, occur. Variations in interpretations can cause perceived conflicts in the timeline based on different methods of calculation.
