Have you ever heard of apocalyptic hyperbole? It’s in the Bible and that type of phrasing was used in other places, for example:

Ezekiel 5:9: Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.

Who's the Hyperbole Czar??? Who decides??? You???

Some religious people think this is hyperbole...Do you think this is hyperbole???

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Or how about this??? Is this hyperbole???

Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Who's the Hyperbole Czar??? Who decides??? You???

Why not check Bullinger?

Bullinger doesn’t give Ezek 5:9 nor Matthew 24:21 as examples of hyperbolic language.
