“Yes. Many more people will perish in the Great Tribulation than perished in the flood. Additionally the Great Tribulation will be strung out for years. Most everyone who perished in the flood died within minutes of the first drop of rain.”
They died within minutes of the first drop? Where did you read that?
“Are you saying that Jesus was a liar?”
You must not have read the verses I posted. It should be obvious to anyone who interprets Scripture in light of Scripture that Jesus was using prophetic hyperbole.
Simple math.
It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. (Or was that "Prophetic Hyperbole"?).
There are roughly 60,000 minutes in a 40 day period. The rain covered the highest mountain in the world which is roughly 30,000 feet above sea level. That would mean that the rain fell at a constant rate of 6 inches per minute. I doubt anyone could survive even 5 minutes of that kind of downpour.
It should be obvious to anyone who interprets Scripture in light of Scripture that Jesus was using prophetic hyperbole.
If Jesus used "prophetic hyperbole" then why should we believe anything Jesus said? How do we know he wasn't using hyperbole when he said that we would be granted "eternal life"? How do you know that he wasn't using Hyperbole when he said he would be with us forever?
If Christ foretold the future by exaggerating it, then he was a False Prophet. You can't get around that. The Jews would have been justified in stoning him.
It should be obvious to anyone who interprets Scripture in light of Scripture that Jesus was using prophetic hyperbole.

No! That’s only obvious to folks who use the highly secret Replacementarian decoder ring on the Rubber Bible—all bought cheap at a Joseph Smith garage sale.
