Paradox #1
One potential contradiction arises from the implication that the devil can offer all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus, which could seem inconsistent with the belief that God is the ultimate authority over all kingdoms and possesses ultimate control. This raises questions about the extent of the devil's power versus God's sovereignty.
Paradox #2
The potential scientific inconsistency with the verse could be the idea of seeing "all the kingdoms of the world in an instant." Scientifically, it is impossible for a human to visually perceive the entire Earth and its nations at once, due to the planet's vast size and the limitations of human sight and time.
