Hi Sandie,
I appreciate the kind word friend. Yet when God judges nations many in the past have been killed. It might not seem fair. Yet as I recall 70 thousand people died in Israel once because David sinned.
24:12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
24:13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee?
or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
24:14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
24:15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
24:16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
24:17 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly:
but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
2 Samuel 24:12-17
Note in verse 17 David said he had sinned but said the people were innocent. Of course the judgment was on Israel also but David was distressed over their destruction. It probably seemed to some that YHWH was being unfair.
He is of great mercy praise his name. But his judgments can be furious. He evidently does not want the land given to the Islamists.
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
