¹ Preterists are quick to note that Scripture uses the same sort of apocalyptic language (often termed prophetic hyperbole) in other places. For instance, with respect to the Babylonian captivity, God declared, "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). See also Ex. 11:6, Dan. 9:12, 12:1.
