You mean like the prophecy that Christ predicted regarding the fall of Jerusalem in Matthew?
21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21)
Now, where else in scripture does Christ ever use 'hyperbolic' language as you claim this to be?

Now, where else in scripture does Christ ever use 'hyperbolic' language as you claim this to be? All over, since Christ is the Author of all Scripture. And you know it since you failed to answer in substance here.
Here’s one example: "And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations" (Ezek. 5:9). This describes the judgment at the hands of ancient Babylon. Was that Jesus speaking, or no? Hyperbolic? Absolutely.

I like those words and I wonder how does the Holocaust fit into it
