Contradiction with Matthew 16:28
This verse suggests some standing with Jesus would not die before seeing the Son of Man coming in His kingdom, hinting at an imminent fulfillment.
Matthew 16:28: Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Contradiction with Mark 9:1
Similar to Matthew 16:28, this indicates that some people present would see the kingdom of God come with power before they die, suggesting an earlier realization of events.
Mark 9:1: And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Contradiction with Luke 21:32
Parallel to Matthew 24:34, stating that 'this generation' will not pass away until all things are fulfilled, offering the same immediacy that seems to be unfulfilled.
Luke 21:32: Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:8-9
This passage speaks of God's timeline being different from humans', suggesting delay rather than immediacy, contrasting with the immediacy implied in Matthew 24:34.
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.
Contradiction with Revelation 1:1
Describes events that "must shortly come to pass," which can seem contradicting if viewed as already fulfilled versus future events.
Revelation 1:1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
Contradiction with Revelation 22:20
Indicates that Jesus is coming "quickly," which can be seen as contradicting the idea of an event occurring within the same generation.
Revelation 22:20: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Paradox #1
Some people think there's a conflict with this verse because it talks about things happening within a "generation." They wonder if the events mentioned were supposed to have happened long ago, or if "generation" means something else. This has led to different interpretations and debates about timing and fulfillment.
Paradox #2
Some people see a contradiction in this verse because it seems to suggest that certain events would occur within the lifetime of the generation alive at that time. Since those events did not fully happen, some people argue that it creates an inconsistency with the expectations of the prophecy.
Paradox #3
Some people find a contradiction because it seems to say that certain events would happen within the lifetime of the generation alive at that time. Since those events didn't happen back then, it raises questions about the meaning or timing of the statement.
Paradox #4
Some people see a contradiction because it seems to suggest that the events described would happen within the lifetime of the people living at the time, but those events have not happened yet according to some interpretations. This creates tension between expectations and actual history.
Paradox #5
Some people might see a contradiction because the statement suggests certain events would happen within a specific generation, but those events have not occurred as expected in that timeframe. This can create confusion about the accuracy of the message or its interpretation over time.
Paradox #6
The potential contradiction or conflict could involve the interpretation of "this generation" in predicting events. Some understand it to mean the people alive at that time (leading to questions about accuracy), while others think it refers to a future group or symbolic timeframe, affecting how predictions are viewed.
