Jesus did not CONTRADICT. Rather, he was using common apocalyptic judgment languge that was used in exactly the same way and for the same reasons by the O.T. prophets. Compare Christ's saying about the destruction of Jerusalem to these O.T. equivalent statments:
2 Sam 22:8-10
Judges 5:4-5
Isa 13:10
Isa 34:4
Isa 24:3-6, 19-20
And, in the book of Hebrews we see that the shaking and removal of Heavens and Earth are said to speak of the removal of the Old Covenant and its replacement with the New Covenant Kingdom (Hebrews 12:18-28).
So, this is prophetic, apocalyptic language that is always used to pronounce Jehovah's judgments upon nations and individuals. The pattern is the same throughout the bible.
