Contradiction with Isaiah 9:7
While Matthew 10:7 speaks about the imminence of the Kingdom of Heaven, Isaiah 9:7 suggests an everlasting kingdom of peace, focusing on future fulfillment rather than near arrival.
Isaiah 9:7: Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Contradiction with Luke 17:20-21
Matthew 10:7 emphasizes announcing the kingdom's nearness; Luke 17:20-21 suggests the kingdom is already present within or among individuals, rather than coming near.
Luke 17:20-21: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [with...: or, with outward shew]
Contradiction with John 18:36
Matthew 10:7 indicates the nearness of the heavenly kingdom, whereas John 18:36 implies a kingdom not of this world and not currently manifest.
John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Contradiction with Acts 1:6-7
Matthew 10:7 declares the kingdom's nearness, but Acts 1:6-7 points to the timing of the kingdom’s restoration as unknown and controlled by God alone.
Acts 1:6-7: When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:8-9
Matthew 10:7 suggests urgency in the kingdom's coming, yet 2 Peter 3:8-9 emphasizes God’s perspective on time and patience, with no urgency implied.
2 Peter 3:8-9: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
