Contradiction with Psalm 148:3-6
This passage praises the stars and heavens which are established forever, suggesting their stability and ongoing existence contrary to being shaken or falling.
Psalm 148:3-6: Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35-36
These verses mention the fixed order of the sun, moon, and stars, implying constancy and permanence rather than the possibility of falling or being disrupted.
Jeremiah 31:35-36: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:26
This verse depicts God as upholding the order and number of the stars, contradicting the idea of them falling or losing order.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
This verse asserts the earth abides forever, suggesting a view of stability and order which contrasts with the cosmic upheaval described in Mark 13:25.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Paradox #1
Some people find it difficult to understand the symbolic meaning of celestial events in biblical prophecy. In Mark 13:25, descriptions of cosmic disturbances can be puzzling, leading to debates about whether these are meant to be literal events or symbolic of significant changes. This can cause confusion or perceived inconsistency with other scientific or historical understandings of the universe.
Paradox #2
The verse describes stars falling from the sky, which is scientifically inconsistent. Stars are massive celestial bodies that cannot fall to Earth like small objects; they are far too large and distant for this to happen.
