You are looking at this from the wrong perspective. You are looking at it from the perspective of the species God destroys. But those are irrelevant, as is proven by the fact that God destroys them. The perspective that counts is the one of the survivors. They can witness how our Almighty LORD smites those that do not live up to His expectations and learn from that. Punctuated smiting is a way to improve all of us!
A recent example of this is Obama. Many Americans made the huge mistake of voting for Obama and God is punishing us for that each and every day so that we can all learn from that big mistake. E.g. by letting gays destroy our army from the inside out and by reducing our nuclear arsenal. And if we do not learn from that mistake God will just hit us harder and harder until we do. Not unlike what every loving father would do for his children.
Isn't it amazing to see God's might in action?
