I am once again blown away in awe at how good and loving God is: there are like two billion gooks and chinks who all deserve punishment because their customs, beliefs and habits that are so completely opposite to what He demands of them, but Jesus only killed a few tens of thousands of them and makes another few million homeless, only a fraction receives their punishment now while all those others get yet another chance to redeem themselves by turning over their lives to The Lord.
Even after being hit with warning after warning in the form of earthquakes, storms, exploding nuclear reactors, oppression from their leaders, working in slavery-like conditions, and so on, they still refuse to seek His comforting bosom, and God only lightly slaps their wrists instead of wiping out that whole den of inequity in one big strike. Our loving Father forgives them time and time again, just like Jesus told us to forgive people 490 times.
Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
