Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 24:6 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 24:6. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, Jesus tells us not to worry when we hear about wars because these things need to happen, but it doesn't mean the world is ending yet. He wants us to stay calm and trust that everything is part of a bigger plan.

Matthew 24:6: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4

This verse speaks of nations not lifting sword against each other and not learning war anymore, contradicting Matthew 24:6 which talks about hearing of wars and rumors of wars.

Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]

Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:3

This verse mentions people saying "Peace and safety" when sudden destruction comes, contrasting with the ongoing turmoil and wars mentioned in Matthew 24:6.

1 Thessalonians 5:3: For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency in that verse could be the contrast between the inevitability of conflict and the teachings of peace. On one hand, the verse acknowledges that wars and conflicts will happen, but on the other hand, the Bible often teaches love, peace, and turning the other cheek. This can create a tension between accepting conflict as a part of the world's reality and striving for peace and reconciliation.
