Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:2
Matthew 24:32 uses the fig tree parable to suggest signs of the times, while 1 Thessalonians 5:2 emphasizes the unexpectedness of the day of the Lord, coming like a thief in the night, which suggests unpredictability rather than signs.
1 Thessalonians 5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Contradiction with Matthew 25:13
Emphasizes the unpredictability of the return of the Son of Man, instructing believers to watch and neither know the day nor the hour, which could be seen in tension with Matthew 24:32's implication of recognizing signs.
Matthew 25:13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
States that it is not for us to know the times or seasons which the Father has put in His own power, which contrasts the implication in Matthew 24:32 that signs may indicate the timing.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Contradiction with Mark 13:32
Emphasizes that no one knows the day or the hour, not even the angels or the Son, but only the Father, which underscores a divine mystery not necessarily revealed by signs as in Matthew 24:32.
Mark 13:32: But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
